Sivuuttaako talouskasvu demokratian?
2019
Muuttuva maailmanpolitiikka haastaa käsityksemme talouskasvun ja demokratian välisestä dynamiikasta. Demokratian tulisi kyetä antamaan köyhyydessä eläville ihmisille lupaus paremmasta tulevaisuudesta, kirjoittaa Teppo Eskelinen. nonPeerReviewed

Vapaapalokunta - kasvupaikka kansalaistoiminnalle 1838-1938
2011
Vapaapalokuntatoiminta alkoi maassamme vuonna 1838 naapurimaista saadun esimerkin mukaisesti. VPK:iden toiminta muotoutui moninaiseksi ja se oli tarkoitettu kaikille kansalaisille. Toiminnassa noudatettiin tasa-arvon ja demokratian periaatteita alusta lähtien ja toiminnan tavoitteisiin kuuluivat yleishyödyllisyys sekä luokkaerojen vähentäminen jäsenten keskuudessa amerikkalaisen esikuvansa mukaisesti. Tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää vapaapalokuntatoiminnan merkitystä kansalaisyhteiskunnalle ja kansalaisille niillä paikkakunnilla, joilla yhdistyksiä perustettiin. Tutkielman ajaksi olen rajannut ensimmäisen sadan vuoden ajan, koska silloin vapaapalokuntatoiminta oli aitoa vapaaehtoista …
Building and Testing a Comparative Interface on Northwest European Historical Parliamentary Debates : Relative Term Frequency Analysis of British Rep…
2022
Tensions between the people and parliament over representation are a normal feature of representative democracies. In this paper, we demonstrate how digital humanities analysis tools help in answering questions about the timing of debates on popular representation, tensions over its realization, and representatives’ changing perceptions on their parliamentary role. Our long-term approach to the conceptual history of political representation is based on the analysis of digitized parliamentary debates as nexuses of multi-sited political discourse. We combine computer-assisted distant and context-sensitive close reading to consider diachronic trends and synchronic political struggles surroundi…

A phenomenological research of democracy education in a Finnish primary-school
2023
This phenomenological research examines democracy education and the conditions contributing to young students’ democratic agency. The dataset includes interview and observation data from a school and educational decision-makers. The findings from the iterative analysis highlight the contradictions between democracy education as an ideal and opportunities for democratic agency. One significant contradiction was the expectation that young pupils should be competent democratic agents before being offered opportunities to act democratically. Young students deemed to possess the greatest competencies were offered opportunities to learn about democracy in action, whereas most students were expect…
The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) in Cameroon : realities and prospects
2010
For a long time, Cameroon was a success story in the context of Africa’s development. Unfortunately, the economic crises of the eighties and early nineties led to the failure of the development strategies that had been pursued until then, resulting in a severe deterioration of the country’s economy and the living standards of the Cameroonian people (Mentan, 2003). However, this country possesses significant oil wealth which if properly managed can generate abundant revenue to boost economic growth and fund anti-poverty measures. In 2005, Cameroon adhered to the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI). A proper implementation of this initiative will improve transparency in the c…

Using sport for corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Finland
2015
Companies are increasingly valued beyond their capability to maximize profits. Responsibility is one of the core issues in companies’ strategies nowadays. Meanwhile sport and health professionals are facing challenges: inactivity among people and costs in grassroots participation are growing.

This study approaches the topic by answering the main research question: What is the role of sport in Finnish companies’ CSR strategy? To answer the research questions, qualitative research using data from structured e-mail interviews was conducted. The data…
