The Village of the Year Competition Constructing an Ideal Model of a Rural Community in Finland
2016
The Village Action Association of Finland (SYTY) organizes the Village of the Year competition annually to award active rural communities. The competition has taken place since 1985, but after the village action movement was integrated into Finnish rural policy networks in the 1990s, it also became a part of rural policy instruments. The competition can be considered a governing technique that constructs norms and an ideal model for rural communities to pursue. In this article, I study the representation of an ideal rural community by analysing the criteria of the competition. I also look for changes to see whether the integration of the village action movement into rural policy is reflecte…
Political community resilience in declining rural areas in Finland
2021
Abstract In this article, we study how declining rural communities build political resilience in Finland. Community resilience is an adaptive process through which rural communities try to maintain their viability in changed circumstances. This process does not entail a submissive attitude, but rather active agency and an effort to influence matters concerning the community’s well-being. We focus on the political dimension of resilience by identifying different local tactics that rural communities adopt to promote their own development following municipal mergers. We classify these tactics into three categories: cooperation, conflict and community-led development. The significant difference…

Autonomia regionale e riforme costituzionali nella transizione del sistema politico italiano
2016
A partire dalla crisi della "Prima Repubblica", dai primi anni Novanta ad oggi, il sistema politico italiano è entrato in una lunga fase di transizione che non è ancora approdata a un nuovo assetto istituzionale e costituzionale stabile. I cambiamenti, o i tentativi di cambiamento, del sistema elettorale e partitico, del sistema di governo e del sistema statale hanno prodotto alcune parziali riforme costituzionali e varie riforme elettorali, spesso tra loro contraddittorie, ispirate, di volta in volta, da maggioranze politiche contingenti e ristrette. È in questo quadro generale che il saggio colloca l'analisi dell'autonomia regionale in Italia, per comprendere i fattori che ne spiegano l’e…
