Understanding Different Approaches to ECE Pedagogy through Tensions
2021
Publisher Copyright: © 2021 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. The concept of pedagogy is the key to understanding pedagogy in early childhood education (ECE) in the Nordic countries, which are known for their high quality of life and education. However, in ECE, there are several different approaches toward pedagogy and it can be said that pedagogy is a multidimensional and dynamic concept. In this paper, the different approaches to pedagogy are defined and reconceptualized through an integrative literature analysis focusing on scientific papers and research reports of the concept. Five approaches to pedagogy were constructed: pedagogy through interaction, pedagogy through s…

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…

A reflection was performed of the relationships between generalized trust, school autonomy, and the professional autonomy of teachers. peerReviewed

Transnacionālo korporāciju apvienošanās un tās ietekme uz attīstību
2020
Mūsdienās ir raksturīga strauja konkurences palielināšanās starp mazākiem un lielākiem uzņēmumiem, tāpēc tirgus dalībnieki meklē iespējas ātrākai sava uzņēmuma attīstībai un jaunu tirgus apgūšanu. Viens no attīstības veidiem ir apvienoties ar citu tirgus dalībnieku vai to pārņemt. Apvienošanās un iegūšanas darījumi ir pazīstami kopš 19. gadsimta beigām. Pētījums mērķis ir, pamatojoties uz transnacionālo korporāciju teorētiskiem aspektiem un finanšu datu analīzi, novērtēt transnacionālo korporāciju apvienošanās darījumu ietekmi uz uzņēmumu attīstību. Tiek analizēts “Nordea” un “DNB” banku apvienošanās darījums, kas pārtapa par “Luminor” banku, definējot darījuma ietekmi uz transnacionālo kor…
