"Demokracja jacksonowska" a zmiana postawy legitymizacji władzy sądowniczej w USA

2021

The article discusses the issue of changes of the bases of legitimization for the state judiciary in the US during the so-called “Jacksonian Democracy”, i.e., the period from 1829 (the beginning of the presidency of Andrew Jackson) until the outbreak of the Civil War. During this period on the wave of the democratization process of public institutions in the US, popular elections were introduced to select judges at the state level. The reason for the introduced institution was the willingness of legal environments to make judges independent from the world of politics, as well as strengthening their social authority and a political position in a political system. The result of popular electi…

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…

Modern Finnish Economic History

2022

The Finnish economy has experienced a relative late growth and catch-up process in relation to many other advanced Western economies. During this growth period, Finland also experienced a rapid structural change from an agrarian society to a developed service society. In a small open economy, the export industries have played a vital role in this development. Over several centuries, the forest industries have had a dominating impact in exports, along with the metal industries; however, the latter, as well as the electronics industry, with Nokia as the flagship company, gained more importance in the late 20th century in aggregate exports. The egalitarian educational system has to a large ext…

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…

Aatteesta arvoihin : yleispuoluekehitys ja ympäristöpolitiikan jakautuminen oikeisto-vasemmisto -akselilla

2010

Yleispuolueteorian mukaan puolueet ovat alkaneet muistuttaa kasvavissa määrin toisiaan. Liitän osaksi tätä kehitystä postmaterialististen arvojen nousun politiikan kentälle, koska nämä arvot tuovat osaltaan epäselvyyttä perinteiselle puolueiden oikeisto-vasemmisto –jaottelulle politiikan ristiriitaulottuvuuden muuttuessa multiakseliseksi. Postmaterialistiset arvot ovat tulkittavuudessaan puolueille väline tavoitella poliittista keskustaa, koska ne luovat pelitilaa. Yksi näistä politiikan uusista arvoista on ympäristöystävällisyys ja sen mukanaan tuoma ympäristöpolitiikka. Tutkin ympäristöpolitiikan jakautumista oikeisto-vasemmisto –akselilla puolueohjelmissa kehysanalyysin keinoin pyrkien r…

The role of personal and relative job performance in promotion decisions

2021

This study employs personnel data from a large university to examine how supervisors utilize information on employees' job performance in promotion decisions. The study shows that better-performing employees are rewarded with promotions as a higher output of peer-reviewed publications and better quality of research output are associated with a higher probability of being promoted. The study also shows that supervisors compare their subordinates' job performance when deciding on promotions: employees who outperform their colleagues in terms of research output and research quality are more likely to be promoted. Subsequently, the study provides evidence to support the key premise of the tourn…
