Actors critical of the wolf have exercised the politics of disturbance, produced various epistemic cues and created conditions for reframing existing rights and the emergence of new ones. Due to these bottom-up preadaptive transactions, wolf-policy-related institutional adjustments have, in many respects, taken on volitional and spontaneous features. 2017 Article in Journal/Newspaper Canis lupus susi Natural Resources Institute Finland: Jukuri |
