Practicing Ballot Secrecy : Postal Voting and the Witness Requirement at the 2019 Finnish Elections
2021
Electoral rights belong to the core of citizenship in democratic nation-states. Voting, then, represents an actualization of the relationship between the citizen and the political community. For citizens living outside the country in which they are eligible to vote, voting signifies a rare institutional connection to the country of origin. The aim of this article is to explore the introduction of the postal vote, a new form of voting for external voters at Finnish elections, from the grassroots perspective. The study focuses on how a central policy concern, safeguarding ballot secrecy, was resolved in the policy implementation by the witness requirement, and how the individual voters subseq…

Signed, Sealed, and Delivered with Trust: Non-Resident Citizens’ Experiences of Newly Adopted Postal Voting
2021
The COVID-19 pandemic has made it clear that the traditional “booth, ballot, and pen” model of voting, based on a specific location and physical presence, may not be feasible during a health crisis. This situation has highlighted the need to assess whether existing national electoral legislation includes enough instruments to ensure citizens’ safety during voting procedures, even under the conditions of a global pandemic. Such instruments, often grouped under the umbrella of voter facilitation or convenience voting, range from voting in advance and various forms of absentee voting (postal, online, and proxy voting) to assisted voting and voting at home and in hospitals and other healthcare …
Puolisona maailmalla : suomalaisten ekspatriaattipuolisojen kokemuksia ekspatriaattielämänmuodosta Thaimaan Bangkokissa
2014
Opinnäytetyössä tarkastellaan ekspatriaattiutta, työperäistä ja määräaikaista nykysiirtolaisuuden muotoa, miestensä työn vuoksi ulkomaille muuttaneiden naisten näkökulmasta. Tutkimuksessa selvitetään ekspatriaattipuolisoiden kokemuksia suhteessa uuden asuinmaan paikalliseen kulttuuriin ja väestöön sekä ekspatriaattielämänmuotoon ja sen puolisolle asettamiin vaatimuksiin. Työn tavoitteena on täydentää kuvaa etnologian saralla toistaiseksi vähän tutkitusta ilmiöstä ja tarjota samalla näkökulmia ja vertailukohtia ekspatriaattipuolisona eläville ja puolisopestille lähteville naisille. Tarkastelun kohteena on muun muassa kulttuurien kohtaaminen, ekspatriaattielämänmuodossa eletty arki, omat ja m…
Ulkomaantyökomennuksille mukaan muuttaneet suomalaisnaiset kertovat kokemuksistaan
2006
The objective of this qualitative study is to reveal the discursive reality of Finnish women, who have chosen to follow their husbands to expatriate assignments. The research material includes interviews of seventeen (17) Finnish housewives who lived in Singapore in 1999. The primary theoretical framework of the study is a social-constructive view, in which the reality is seen to have been constructed through meanings that create and maintain cultural practices, social roles and institutions. Gender is interpreted as produced socially, politically and in language. Human beings in the study exist as cultural and social beings with sex. An underlying assumption of the analysis is that the wom…
