A landscape approach to planetary well-being
2024
“Landscape” refers to a perceivable spatial level shaped by socio-ecological interactions and represents the systems where people live. Human societies have globally transformed landscapes to meet their needs, e.g., nutrition or shelter, according to cultural preferences. This human domination of land has resulted in considerable competition for space with other lifeforms, driving biodiversity loss through land-use change and intensification, as well as coming into conflict with planetary well-being. Recent research has highlighted the relevance of the landscape level when articulating human activities with and in their environment and maintaining human and nonhuman cohabitation. Indeed, th…
The ecosocial paradigm in social work : Striving for planetary well-being
2024
This chapter focuses on the concept of planetary well-being from the perspective of social work. Social work is a practice-oriented profession and academic discipline that takes many different forms globally. We present an outline of the emerging ecosocial paradigm in social work. This rather new approach attempts to adjust the profession’s core emphasis on social problems of and between human beings, shifting it to a position that puts humanity’s dependence on the natural environment at its centre. The chapter discusses the similarities between the ecosocial paradigm and the concept of planetary well-being. It further asks what added value the concept of planetary well-being might bring to…
Financial system in steering the economy towards planetary well-being
2024
This chapter discusses the possible roles that financial system may play in steering economic production towards planetary well-being. The costs associated with using natural resources are seldom equal to the actual environmental costs incurred. The present chapter proposes linking Sir Partha Dasgupta’s Impact Equation and the standard asset pricing framework and discusses the roles that financial institutions and central banks as well as debt and equity funding play in supporting production that preserve planetary well-being via the incentives of those in need for and those willing to supply funding. It is proposed that the increasing costs of capital and the financial exclusion of non-env…
Education for planetary well-being
2024
The aim of this chapter is to present how education can promote planetary well-being as well as what the adoption of the planetary well-being means for education. The main objective is to explore theoretical perspectives on the new concept education for planetary well-being by examining its underlying philosophical assumptions and by introducing related approaches in the field of education. There exist several initiatives and frameworks that have aimed to make education more sustainable and just, but many of these are based on the concept of sustainable development and have considerable limitations regarding their potential to address the ecological crisis and bring about urgently needed so…
"On aika ryhtyä toimiin" : kansainväisen yhteisön keskustelu interventiosta Libyaan ja Syyriaan
2017
Tutkimuksen tehtävänä on selvittää, kuinka Libyan ja Syyrian kriiseihin vastattiin kansainvälisessä yhteisössä arabikevään 2011 aikana. Tarkoituksena on tarkastella ilmiötä englantilaisen koulukunnan luoman pluralismi-solidarismi - keskustelun kautta. Pluralismi-solidarismi-keskusteluun olen sisällyttänyt oikeus- ja järjestys-kriteerit ja -retoriikat, joiden kautta tarkastelen kansainvälisen yhteisön käymiä keskusteuita. Tutkimuksen aineiston muodostavat kaksi Hillary Clintonin puhetta, yksi Sergei Lavrovin haastattelu ja puhe sekä kokoelma Euroopan parlamentin keskusteluja aikaväliltä, jona Libyan ja Syyrian kriiseistä keskusteltiin kuumimmin. Keskeiset asiat tutkimuksessani ovat kansainvä…

"Yes we can" or "Make America great again" : comparison of representations in Barack Obama and Donald Trump's inaugural addresses
2017
Kielellä ja kielenkäyttötavoilla, diskursseilla, on suuria vaikutuksia ihmisten asenteisiin, toimintatapoihin ja tapaan nähdä maailma. Erityisesti poliittiset diskurssit ovat merkittävä tutkimuksen kohde, sillä ne saavuttavat usein suuren yleisön. Koska poliitikoilla on näkyvä rooli yhteiskunnassa, on tärkeää tutkia, millaisia asenteita, ideologioita ja arvoja he levittävät puheidensa välityksellä. Tätä teemaa voidaan tarkastella hyödyntäen kriittistä diskurssianalyysia, jonka avulla usein tarkastellaan eriarvoisuutta ja vallan väärinkäyttöä. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää, millaisia representaatioita Barack Obama ja Donald Trump loivat eri ihmisryhmistä virkaanastujaispuheiss…
