Always in crisis, always a solution? : The Nordic model as a political and scholarly concept
2021
While campaigning for the 2016 US Democratic Party presidential nomination, Senator Bernie Sanders invoked the Nordic countries as a model for future politics. In a debate, he declared, ‘I think we should look to countries like Denmark, like Sweden and Norway, and learn from what they have accomplished for their working people.’1 Hailing the Nordic countries, especially Denmark, as an example of ‘democratic socialism’,2 Sanders’s vision engendered a heated debate, with political opponents critiquing the implied political agenda, the prime minister of Denmark protesting the idea of Denmark as a socialist country, and journalists and pundits presenting corrective views of the economic and soc…
Smooth sailing toward more peaceful societies? Long-run Nordic development paths
2022
Publisher Copyright: © 2022 selection and editorial matter, Christopher Lloyd and Matti Hannikainen. In this chapter, the authors aim to compare the Nordic societies in a broad fashion in the last 200 years in their process of “sailing” (with the implication of rough waters along the way) from social fragmentation to more inclusive welfare societies. The authors’ main goal is to examine the coevolution of economic, political, and fiscal factors among the Nordic societies in the long run by making use of recent longitudinal data sets. In this way, they can map out some key patterns that characterized the shift toward more peaceful and well-functioning societies. First, the authors focus on t…
The Nordic Economic, Social and Political Model : Challenges in the 21st Century
2021
The Nordic Model is the 20th-century Scandinavian recipe for combining stable democracies, individual freedom, economic growth and comprehensive systems for social security. But what happens when Sweden and Finland – two countries topping global indexes for competitiveness, productivity, growth, quality of life, prosperity, and equality – start doubting themselves and their future? Is the Nordic Model at a crossroads? Historically, consensus, continuity, social cohesion, and broad social trust have been hailed as key components for the success and for the self-images of Sweden and Finland. In the contemporary, however, political debates in both countries are increasingly focused on risks, t…
Prekarisaatio ja affekti
2015
Prekarisaatio ja affekti tutkii nykyisyyden tunnesävyjä ja aistimuksia. Osana poikkitieteistä tutkimushanketta se tarkastelee prekaaria kokemusta kahdeksan toisiinsa lomittuvan pienoistutkimuksen kautta. Kirjan tavoitteena on luoda sanastoa ja käsitteitä tilanteille, joissa modernia elämää kannatelleet instituutiot, kuten palkkatyö ja ydinperhe, eivät enää tarjoa elämälle ehdotonta perustaa. Aikaamme leimaa levottomuus ja tulevaisuuden näkymiä epävarmuus. Työn, hoivan ja koulutuksen rajat ovat hälventyneet. Epäonni on yksilöllistynyt. Millaisia ovat ne uudet käytännöt ja taktiikat, joilla ihmiset tekevät elämäänsä elettäväksi ja joilla usko tulevaan kaapataan takaisin taloudellisen arvon lä…
Abating inequalities? : Job quality at the intersection of class and gender in Finland 1977–2013
2016
Globalization with its many side-effects on working life is seen to pose accentuated risks especially for women and low skilled workers – resulting in increasing polarization of job quality. In contrast to “universal theories”, institutional theories claim changes in work life might vary according to the institutional and cultural frameworks which mediate the global pressures of change. This study analyses job quality trends in Finland at the intersection of class and gender. The results, based on the Finnish Quality of Work Life survey (1977–2013), find no clear evidence of polarization. In line with the institutional theory’s prediction of a low risk of polarization in coordinated and in…

Co-dynamics in engendering innovations through collaborative leadership - A complexity-based approach
2013
The paper presents ten co-dynamics that are supposed to be those underlying forces and powers that bring about an innovation creation process. The co-dynamics as unpredictable movements have been found by a Grounded Theory approach from two large-scale data. Parts of the other data serve here as the empirical source. In order to comprehend the nature of the co-dynamic, the notion of collaborative leadership is exploited. It includes both human participants and tangible elements, such as activities, practices, measures, or tools when synergy is gained. Collaborative leadership is supposed to be, at the same time, both the very source and the result of the dynamical movements. nonPeerReviewed
