Precarious Sovereignty in a Post-Liberal Europe : the Covid-19 Emergency in Estonia and Finland
2020
The paper addresses a puzzle resulting from the current global state of alert: the coronavirus pandemic brought us back to the world of the allegedly sovereign nation states with borders and national governments in charge, yet in fact, this retrieved sovereignty looks very vulnerable and precarious. We explain this controversy through a triad of concepts—sovereignty, governmentality, and post-liberalism—that we apply to an analysis of a corona-imposed state of emergency in Estonia and Finland. Based on comparative case study research, we posit that sovereignty is precarious in post-liberalism due to its large dependence on the technologies of responsibilization and agency. From a biopolitic…
Development discourses of the low human development index : countries in UN post-2015 discussion

These six nations are Burkina Faso, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Liberia and Zambia.

Ambivalent English : What We Talk About When We Think We Talk About Language
2020
The ambivalence of English manifests itself in the discourses that surround it. English may be a resource and consume resources; it empowers and oppresses. The dichotomous discussion around the usefulness or dangers of English as a “global” or “world” language erases problematizations of the layered societal implications of English in localised contexts. English needs to be analysed not (only) as a language but (also) as the ideologies and societal structures intertwined with it. We examine English in two higher education contexts. Our first case deals with the so-called Accent Reduction courses offered for international students in US universities. The second one analyses English as a lang…

Monikansalliset yritykset, YK ja nationalistinen selittäminen politiikkana
2021
Yhteiskunnallisten ilmiöiden ja ongelmien selittämiseen liittyy aina valintoja. Nationalistisessa selittämisessä syitä etsitään kansallisvaltioiden historiasta ja instituutioista, kun taas kosmopoliittisessa selittämisessä vastauksia haetaan monikansallisista yrityksistä ja globaaleista instituutioista. Selitysmallien asema vaihtelee eri aikoina, mutta emme vielä tarpeeksi ymmärrä, miten nämä selittämisen kamppailut etenevät. nonPeerReviewed

Kansainvälistymisestä on ollut Suomelle suurta hyötyä : ”se on ollut elämän ja kuoleman kysymys”
2021
Suomen säilyminen itsenäisenä oli pitkälti seurausta kansainvälisen yhteisön tuesta. Viime aikoina monissa kansallisvaltioissa on sen sijaan nähty uusnationalistinen käänne, kirjoittavat Antero Holmila ja Pasi Ihalainen Jyväskylän yliopistosta. nonPeerReviewed
