The implementation of new special education legislation in Finland

2014

This article examines the implementation of new special education legislation in Finland among students with significant disabilities. The data consist of a nationwide survey and field observations. In the analysis, a policy implementation framework is utilized as a theoretical lens. The findings suggest that schools and municipalities that had participated in long-term development projects had more capacity and willingness to reform special education practices substantially, suggesting that learning in one policy area can transfer to other domains across multiple levels of national and local governments. The key findings highlight the significance of professional trust as a policy instrum…

Uusliberalismin aika : Suomen veropolitiikka vuosina 1987-2007 oikeudenmukaisuuden ja tehokkuuden valossa

2015

Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan Suomen veropolitiikan muutosta vuosien 1987–2007 aikana. Selvitän, miten ja miten paljon Suomen verotus on muuttunut tutkimuksen aikavälillä oikeudenmukaisuuden ja tehokkuuden näkökulmista. Lisäksi tarkastelen sitä, johtaako tehokkuuden ja oikeudenmukaisuuden samanaikainen tavoittelu väistämättä ristiriitaan. Tutkimusmetodinani on policyanalyysi, jota teen sekä laadullisesti että määrällisesti. Määrällisen analyysin aineistoksi on aikaisempaan tutkimukseen nojautuen tunnistettu viisi ilmiötä. Ilmiöiden kuvaamiseen käytän kuutta indikaattoria, joista neljä olen konstruoinut tätä tutkimusta varten. Indikaattorianalyysi sisältää indikaattorien analysointia yksittäin…

"Ihmiskunnalle ennen kokematon uhka" : ilmastonmuutoksen poliittiset merkitykset turvallisuus- ja puolustuspoliittisissa selonteoissa ja eduskunnassa…

2020

Artikkelissa tarkastellaan ilmastonmuutoksen turvallisuuspoliittisia merkityksiä Suomessa poliittisen kielenkäytön analyysimenetelmin. Turvallisuus- ja puolustuspolitiikassa uhkakuvat sekä niiden tärkeysjärjestys ja merkitys ovat poliittisen kamppailun kohteena. Käsitteellisellä tasolla esimerkiksi ilmastonmuutoksen turvallisuuspoliittinen merkitys määräytyy poliittisissa debateissa, joissa esitetään argumentteja politiikan linjanvedosta, ratkaisuista ja resursseista. Poliittiseen kielenkäyttöön, käsitteisiin ja argumentteihin keskittyvä analyysimenetelmä on tapa analysoida, missä merkityksissä ja yhteyksissä ilmastonmuutosta on parlamentaarisessa poliittisessa puheessa ja politiikkaa linja…

Possible future scenarios for Sicilian cereal cropping in the light of current trends in agricultural policy of the European Union

2008

This paper sets out the results of a research project carried out by the University of Palermo and financed by the Sicilian Region, which aims to establish the impact of the Fischler Reform on Sicilian agriculture, and to project future scenarios that take into account some of the changes that the production process may undergo in the Region, following both the application of the Reform itself (now in force) and the eventual application of indications contained in the Health check. The impacts of the Fischler Reform, and especially the application of the Single Payment scheme to companies, were examined in cereal cropping companies, especially considering the significant amount of durum whe…

Public-service provision in clientelist political settlements: Lessons from Ghana's urban water sector

2015

The politics of public-service delivery continues to be neglected under the supposedly more context-sensitive post-Washington Consensus. Using interviews and documentary evidence from Ghana, this article provides an account of the networks of political interference and informal practices in Ghana's public water utility. It argues that, in order to understand why private-sector participation succeeds or fails and why similar arrangements have different outcomes across developing countries, we need to examine the effects of the informal institutional context, particularly the country-specific political settlement in which public-service provision operates.

The purpose of this paper is to deliberate the making of security policy in the EU-context, where national security discourse will increasingly face needs and demands to be melt together with a new kind of security discourse and policy of mainland Europe.

In particular, as the two latter concepts are in motion towards some new essence. This article claims that the ongoing shaping of the new European security discourse, and values it is argued to contain, appears to ci…
