Proscribing the Nordic Resistance Movement in Finland: Analyzing the Process and its Outcome
2021
The Nordic Resistance Movement (NRM) was banned in Finland in 2020 after a court process lasting more than two and half years. This article details how effective the ban has been and how the organization has adapted to the ban, both during the process and after the verdict. The NRM has followed strategies similar to previous proscription cases, especially National Action in the UK in 2016, with whom NRM members discussed and shared experiences before the banning process began. Adaptation has meant new organizational forms and the founding of new associations. Before the ban, some commentators argued that it would only radicalize NRM members and that they might move to clandestine actions. B…
Charles de Gaulle & the French resistance : a case study on the legitimacy and contention of a resistance and its leader
2014
Charles de Gaulle, one of the most notable leaders of the French history, rose to power outside democratic processes.

Lähihistorian merkkipaalut ja niiden kansalliseen muistamiseen liittyvät kiistat kietoutuvat Italiassa toistuvasti päivänpolitiikkaan. Artikkelissa kysytään, miksi varsinkin ”natsifasismista” vapautumisen muistopäivä 25. huhtikuuta on Italiassa toisaalta valtiollisesti merkittävä mutta toisaalta erittäin kiistelty juhlapäivä. Ketkä muistopäiväkiistaa käyvät ja mihin kiistelijät pyrkivät? Mihin muistopäiväkiistaa poliittisesti tarvitaan? Näihin kysymyksiin vastaamiseksi artikkelissa mennään syvälle Italian lähihistoriaan ja tarkastellaan, miten toisen maailmansodan loppuaikojen ristiriitaisia kokemuksia on kollektiivisesti työstetty ja kuinka niistä on kiistelty. Artikkelissa luetaan ja anal…
