Sata näkökulmaa sotaan : lähteiden käyttö Georgian sodan aikana neljässä eurooppalaisessa sanomalehdessä
2011
Georgian sota on viimeisin konflikti, joka tapahtui aivan Euroopan porteilla. Siihen liittyivät myös poikkeuksellisen voimakkaat viestintäpyrkimykset sodan osapuolien – Georgian ja Venäjän – taholta. Toimitukset ympäri Eurooppaa joutuivat tekemään vaikeita päätöksiä konfliktista kertoessaan, koska sotaraportointia vaikeuttivat viestintäpyrkimysten lisäksi käytännön vaikeudet kentällä. Tarkastelen tässä tutkimuksessa lähteiden käyttöä neljässä eurooppalaisessa laatulehdessä. Ne ovat: Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (Saksa), The Independent (Britannia), Postimees (Viro) ja Helsingin Sanomat. Lähden liikkeelle kysyen, ketkä saivat äänensä kuuluviin näiden lehtien sivuilla konfliktin aikana. Mit…

Youth Migration Aspirations in Georgia and Moldova
2018
This study investigates in what ways individual and household capabilities and their general life aspirations affect migration aspirations in particular, among Georgian and Moldovan youth.

Multi-level, step-wise probit models are used to predict youth migration aspirations. Among the findings are that individual capabilities, aspirations, and household capabilities significantly impact youth migration aspirations, while household aspirations are statistically insignificant. The results further emulate the importance of residential satisfaction, the effects of gendered social…
The legal consequences of the August 2008 Russian-Georgian military conflict: how does the "creeping occupation" carried out by Russia violate Georgi…
2017
The present thesis illustrates how the "creeping occupation" violates Georgia’s territorial integrity and fundamental human rights based on the historical, as well as the 2008 and subsequent developments. Stemming from the current political events, the number of IDPs is a big problem across the world. All this is stipulated by very common international or non-international conflicts that are happening in today's world. These conflicts also include the problems of people internally displaced from the occupied territories in Georgia.
