ABSTRACTDoctoral Dissertation Research: Cooperation and Collective Action in the Russian Far East0714853This dissertation project will support research of CoPI Andrew Gerkey, Rutgers University, to investigate the cultural and economic dimensions of cooperative action regarding resource use and allocation among the Koryak of Kamchatka, Russia.
