Liberal Institutionalism
2020
The application of liberal institutionalism to peacekeeping has shed light on several important questions regarding why member states support the deployment of a specific operation, how they build support for their position, whether domestic preferences influence their strategies in the Security Council and why they volunteer troops for peacekeeping. Sponsorship records have proven to be a useful sourse for researching coalition-building on peacekeeping.
Institutional and Affective Practices of Domestic Violence Interventions in Social Work: Malignant Positioning of Victims
2020
This chapter investigates the institutional and affective practices of domestic violence (DV) interventions in Finnish social work. It examines the expression of social workers’ emotions related to intervening in DV and how these expressions result in the positioning of clients. Encountering and intervening in DV is often challenging; ideological presumptions, conceptions, gender-neutral discussions and misrecognition of violence affect institutional arrangements and practices, and the ways in which professionals feel about and respond to violence. We utilise positioning theory to analyse social workers’ focus group interview data (n = 20). We consider (1) how emotions expressed by social w…

Novice teachers' power strategies : Coercion, bribery and intimidation?
2010
Tämän kandidaatintutkielman aiheena on aloittelevien opettajien valtastrategiat luokassa. Valta on olennainen osa kaikkea sosiaalista kanssakäymistä ja näin on luokkaympäristössä, jossa valtasuhteet ovat melko ilmeisiä ja voimakkaita. Tämän valtasuhteen ja sen ilmenemismuotojen tutkiminen on aiheellista, koska se kuuluu osana opettajan ammattitaitoon. Yksi syy tämän tutkielman tekemiseen onkin juuri auttaa tulevia opettajia tämän monisyisen ja vaikean aiheen kanssa, sillä on mahdollista että on olemassa eroja siinä, minkälaista valtaa opettajat sanovat käyttävänsä luokassa ja mitä he todellisuudessa käyttävät. Tämän tutkielman päämetodina olivat opetusharjoittelijoiden haastattelut ja heid…
Institutional perspectives in transition : research groups’ profiles and embeddedness in organisational and national context

Based on a small-N comparative case study of research groups operating in different national and organisational contexts on a single, highly competitive and interdisciplinary applied sciences field, nanosciences, the article proposes research group profiles as h…
