Antecedents to permission based mobile marketing: an initial examination
2009
PurposeThis paper's aim is to develop a conceptual model to examine the influence of four antecedent factors (personal trust, institutional trust, perceived control and experience) on consumers' willingness to participate in permission‐based mobile marketing. The model is to be tested empirically across three European countries and gender.Design/methodology/approachData are collected from surveys of consumers in Finland, Germany and the UK. The partial least squares (PLS) approach is utilised to test the model fit.FindingsThe main factor affecting the consumers' decision to participate in mobile marketing is institutional trust, which is a significant factor in all three countries and acros…
United with the United States : George Bush's foreign policy towards Europe 1989-1993
2009
Aapo Jumppasen väitöstutkimuksen mukaan kylmän sodan loppuvaiheissa Yhdysvallat oli ollut taloudellisesti, kulttuurillisesti ja NATO:n kautta integroitunut läntiseen Eurooppaan niin pitkään ja voimakkaasti, että sen ulkopoliittinen johto nimitti maataan eurooppalaiseksi suurvallaksi. Kylmän sodan päättyminen järkytti tätä identiteettiä.George Bushin hallinnon julkisella diplomatialla oli keskeinen rooli Yhdysvaltojen säilymisessä eurooppalaisena suurvaltana. Jumppanen on tutkimuksessaan löytänyt kolme keskeistä argumentaatiostrategiaa, joiden avulla Yhdysvaltojen poliittinen johto edisti tarkoitusperiään Euroopassa. Bushin hallinnon ensimmäinen argumentaatiostrategia korosti Yhdysvaltojen r…
European culture, history, and heritage as political tools in the rhetoric of the Finns Party
2019
Various studies have indicated how notions and (mis)interpretations of national history, heritage, and culture are utilized by diverse populist and extremist political parties in Europe. However, scholars have less explored how the idea of a common European history, heritage, and culture are used by these parties to justify their xenophobic, anti-immigration, anti-globalization, and monoculturalist political attitudes and the defense of ‘us’. This chapter focuses on this question by examining the political rhetoric of the Finns Party, the core populist party in Finland. The data consists of selected texts discussing broadly the topics of the EU, Europe, nation, identity, and/or culture, pub…
Pohjoismaiden ja Keski- ja Itä-Euroopan uusien demokratioiden journalistien roolikäsitykset
2017
Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan journalistien tehtäväkäsitysten kautta, miten Pohjoismaiden ja Keski- ja Itä-Euroopan uusien demokratioiden journalistien roolikäsitykset nykyään eroavat toisistaan, sekä näkyvätkö länsimaisen journalismin ihanteet journalistien roolikäsityksissä. Analysoinnin apuna on käytetty Thomas Hanitzschin (2011) luomia roolimiljöitä. Teoreettisena viitekehyksenä toimivat journalistinen kulttuuri, journalistinen identiteetti, professionaalistuminen sekä journalistien roolikäsitykset. Tuloksissa ilmeni, että Pohjoismaiden journalistit ovat melko yhteneväinen ryhmä ja niitä voisi kuvailla Hanitszschin puolueeton vahtikoira -roolimiljöön alla. Suomen ja Norjan toimittajat ero…

Racialized immigrants becoming part of the city : connecting migration, space and race : commentary to van Liempt
2023
Building on Ilse van Liempt’s (2023) lecture, this commentary addresses the connection and shift between forced displacement and local emplacement by addressing what becoming part of the city means for racialized immigrants. By bringing forward the notion of racialization I hope to contribute to a growing body of literature discussing how malleable and productive the concept of race – albeit erased and relegated to the past – keeps on shaping conversations about and across Europe. Connecting migration, space and race offers a particularly rich context in which to have this discussion because, as all three elements are mutually constructive, addressing them together exposes some of the compl…
The Phantasmatic Core of Fascism: Psychoanalytic Theories of Antisemitism and Group Aggression Amongst the ‘Political Freudians’
2022
The period predating and overlapping with World War II saw psychoanalytic authors respond to the authoritarian and fascist developments in Europe through scholarly and analytical writings. These authors, sometimes referenced as ‘political Freudians’, were interested in bringing psychoanalysis in a dialogue with progressive social and pedagogical movements of their times, focusing their critique on the persecutory, eliminatory and purificatory fantasies, which they saw as animating the fascistic movements in Europe. This article analyses selected texts by Otto Fenichel, Ernst Simmel and Rudolf Loewenstein and argues that these authors asked about the political and ethical stakes of the fasci…
The micro-politics of parliamentary powers : European parliament strategies for expanding its influence in the EU institutional system
2018
The European Parliament (EP) has gained considerable new powers since it was first established in 1952. Why has this happened, and how should the powers the EP possesses be assessed? This article suggests a novel approach that focuses on inter-institutional micropolitics and the processes in which the EP obtained its powers rather than treaty changes at IGCs. Interinstitutional micropolitics are carried out by institutions and their members who act politically and shape the EU’s system from within. The EP’s successes in interinstitutional micropolitics are shaped by (1) its existing powers that need to be assessed in their differentiation; (2) the interparliamentary setting and the power co…

Changes in Young Europeans’ Values During the Global Financial Crisis
2019
We investigate the impact of the global financial crisis (GFC) on the personal values of youth and young adults (age 16–35 years) from 16 European countries. Using time series cross-sectional data from seven waves (2002–2014) of the European Social Survey, we examined (1) whether the GFC led to value shifts between cohorts of young people and (2) whether welfare state provision moderate the expected value shifts. Multilevel analyses showed that, following the GFC, the importance of security, tradition, benevolence, and, to a lesser extent, conformity values increased. In contrast, hedonism, self-direction, and stimulation values decreased. In line with our moderation hypothesis, power, and…
