Professionalization as Status Adaptation: The Nobility, the Bureaucracy, and the Modernization of the Legal Profession in Finland
1991
In contrast to Anglo-American lines of professional development, the central agent of professionalization in many Continental countries was the state bureaucracy. However, this article proposes that an understanding of the class structure of traditional society is also needed to explain the privileged position of lawyers. An historical study of lawyers in the 19th century, after Finland was annexed by Russia, demonstrates that the legal profession provided the nobility an important medium of adaptation to the new society. The importance of the legal profession initially to the state bureaucracy, and subsequently to the nobility, explains its social prominence and its future development. An …

Consequently, this phenomenon has spread as a common practice of our political system. The emergence of partisan elite, which has professionalized itself in high political-institutional positions, has colonized the leadership of publi…

Entre el ayer ocupado y el mañana “liberado”. Las consecuencias del período 1940-1944 sobre la policía y la sociedad policial francesas
2021
Aunque breve (1940-1944), el período de la ocupación alemana y el gobierno de Vichy constituye un periodo decisivo tanto para la Policía como para la sociedad “policial” francesas. La estatalización, la centralización, la profesionalización y la militarización que caracterizan a la Policía francesa datan de este momento, junto con la recurrente imagen negativa de las misiones que llevó a cabo, en el contexto de las políticas de exclusión y represión impuestas por el régimen de Pétain y la colaboración instaurada con la ocupación nazi.
Pressures, rewards and teacher retention: a comparative study of primary teaching in England and Finland
2004
The article presents some findings from the York‐Jyvaskyla Teacher Professionalism project. The project was a follow‐up study to earlier case‐study research in six schools in Finland and six schools in England on the impact of educational reforms on teachers' work. Data were collected by re‐interviewing a sample of teachers from the original schools six years later. The views of English and Finnish teachers concerning the ways in which changes in practice, pay and working conditions affected their perception of teaching as a profession are contrasted. The crucial factors discouraging teachers from remaining in teaching were work intensification, low pay, deteriorating pupil behaviour and a …
Fascist Unionization and the Professionalization of Midwives in Italy: A Sicilian Case Study
1994
In the 19th century, Italian midwives (then called levatrice) began to organize in an attempt to resist encroachments being made on their practice by obstetricians. Licensed midwives formed professional societies, organized national congresses, and published journals. By the fascist period (1922–43), with the foundation of the first national state-sanctioned union and the institution of an obligatory professional register (Albo), midwifery achieved the status of a recognized profession. The professionalizing practices of midwives, however, combined with a new state interest in their activities and a broader role for the medical profession in defining the proper place of midwives, held Itali…
