Only 25% of the Finnish people agree having a functioning democracy in Finland. This book is revealing how political parties are jeopardizing democracy. Their false way of act is present every day and everywhere, where the parties participate in decision-making. This includes the organs in towns, and The Parliament of Finland. In the book, the trade union action against The Constitution of Finland is also revealed. The book gives suggestions how to improve democracy in Finland. There is still hope not to join the human action in the assumed error.

Considered scandalous at the time, ‘A Political Romance’ is a satirical look at the relationship between the Church and the Law. Written before Sterne s ‘Tristram Shandy’ books (later adapted for film, as ‘A Cock and Bull Story, starring Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon), it tells the tale of a small-town quarrel between a dean, an archbishop, and an ecclesiastical lawyer. While you might think their argument might be something to do with spiritual issues, it is actually over a greatcoat. Did this book deserve to be burned after its publication? Decide for yourself, with this superb read from one of the greats of the 18th Century.Born in Ireland, Laurence Sterne (1713 – 1768) was the son of a commissioned officer in the British army. As a result, the first 10 years of his life were spent travelling from place to place. However, at the age of 11, he was sent to boarding school in England, under the care of his brother. After leaving Jesus College with a Bachelor of Arts, he was ordained both a priest and a deacon.While he had previously written for the ‘York Gazetteer’, Sterne’s uncle encouraged him to write for political journals, much to the consternation of the rest of the family. This was followed by his first novel, ´A Political Romance´, which also put religion under the spotlight.After failing in the role of a farmer, he wrote his most famous book, ‘The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman.’ Six years later, he was to become part of the abolitionist movement, after publicly replying to a letter from former slave, writer, and composer, Ignatius Sancho. Sterne died in London, aged 54.EPUB3: Reflowable

How did governments in the past act to stop the spread of venereal disease? Did legislation reflect medical opinion, and how did it treat the interests represented by women’s or homosexual organizations? How can similarities and differences in national legislation be explained? In Medicine, morality, and political culture the celebrated historian Ida Blom analyses the political culture of five welfare states – the three social-democratic states of Scandinavia, the conservative German state, and the liberal British state – with a view to understanding how relations between the individual citizen and the state vary. Pointing to important differences between the Scandinavian countries, the book charts the interaction of medicine and sexual morality, indicating the influence – or lack of influence – of medical opinion, and the impact of debates about gender, sexuality, and religion on policies intended to combat venereal disease. Ida Blom identifies the far-reaching consequences of these policies, be they fresh solutions or repeats of past political decisions, and establishes their effectiveness in hindering the spread of disease.

The political landscape in Finland has changed dramatically during the past 35 years. Like everywhere in the democratic West these changes have pertained to the economic and social underpinnings of the political process as well as to the concrete substance of government policy. Unlike most comparable countries, however, the transformation of Finnish politics has also been a matter of major institutional change. In fact, as this book argues at length, the basic regime type of the Finnish political system has changed.Despite the magnitude of change, there is still little in the way of a comprehensive analysis of power relations in modern Finnish politics. The present volume attempts to fill part of that void. The book is the result of the research project ‘Political Power in Finland: An Analysis of Central Government Institutions and Actors’ financed by the Academy of Finland in 2011–2014. Ten scholars representing the University of Tampere, Åbo Akademi and University of Turku collaborated in this undertaking.

Sweden is internationally renowned for its generous welfare state. However, over the past decades, changes in economic circumstances and population composition, as well as increasing population concentration in larger urban areas, have imposed new challenges to the Swedish model. What does this imply for individual and collective identity formation? Why and how have some places become more attractive than others? What individuals or groups prosper from these changes and who looses?The authors of this anthology highlight social and political change in Sweden from different perspectives, based on various studies in urban and rural Sweden. They represent five disciplines: history, human geography, political science, social work and sociology. Contextualised by theories on place and identity, the book’s ten chapters focus on ageing, lifestyle migration, rural landscape, place branding, group identity, religion, music, the school as a meeting place, unsafety and residential projects.The participating authors are affiliated with the Centre for Urban and Regional Studies (CUReS) at Örebro University, Sweden.Marco Eiermann is a human geographer and member of the Centre for Urban and Regional Studies (cures) at Örebro University, Sweden.

EXKLUSIVA MEDLEMPRISER -Indigenous peoples has been a topic for international legal and political debate during more than 500 years. This debate has concerned different issues about how to define them in relation toEuropean states, to missionary agendas, and to current debates on human rights. This book is a compilation of original international documents concerning indigenous peoples. The documents cover a period from1455 to 2016. The documents reflects an international discourse filled with anxiety, colonialism, racism and atrocities until recent times. The documents has been compiled mainly for two reasons: firstly, to serve as a primary documentary resource on the ideas concerning indigenous peoples in historical and contemporary thinking and representation, and, secondly, to provide a convenient general reference for anyone interested in historical and contemporary issues concerning indigenous peoples. In trying to serve these two purposes the compilation contains the following: mainly international documents, that is instruments, reports, legal cases, proclamations declarations with multilateral international political and legal implications; included are also some documents adopted by indigenous peoples themselves and by international organizations; general international conventions that are also relevant to indigenous peoples, like the international human rights standards developed after 1945, have been omitted; all documents are presented in chronological order; and  a chronological chart serves the purpose of giving an outlook to specific national policies and development regarding indigenous peoples. The chronology may serve as an easily accessible illustration of the history and development of ideas and policies concerning indigenous peoples.

EXKLUSIVA MEDLEMPRISER -On 28 May 2009, at a closed meeting in Brussels, ministers and state secretaries of education and science from several EU countries decided to build the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund, Sweden. Or did they? It is common for big European science projects to be surrounded by secrecy and political deceit, but the ESS is extraordinary in its elusiveness. There is a remarkable lack of concrete economic, political, technical and scientific underpinnings to the project but a boasting certainty in the promises of future paybacks. The ESS is an accelerator-based neutron spallation facility that will cost billions of Euros to build and run. It is expected to bring new knowledge in several fields including materials science, energy research, and the life sciences. But its financing is not yet certain, and future returns hard to predict. How then could the decision to build ESS occur? Why was there so little organized resistance? This book places the ESS project in its political and scientific context. It links the decisions taken to the history of Big Science in Europe and in Sweden. It looks at the dynamic political processes of establishing this megaproject in a small town in the south of Sweden. The eight chapters start from a paradoxical state of affairs: The ESS is not funded, and not formally decided in any binding agreements yet it is treated as a future reality, locally and nationally, loaded with promises of scientific, economic and social returns. The book makes a much-needed first contribution to the analysis of the ESS project and its political, environmental, and social ramifications. It should be read by scholars of science and technology studies, politicians and the interested general public. Contents: Introduction. In pursuit of a promise Olof Hallonsten 1.

EXKLUSIVA MEDLEMPRISER -In this book, researchers from different disciplines use the case of the German Democratic Republic to show how music was employed to further the state’s cultural and political policies, as well as in infuence its international relations, culture, and politics.The study spans the Cold War, including the GDR’s creation, the great-power struggle for control, the importance of returning war refugees for the construction of the GDR, the building of the 1961 wall, the activities of central intelligence activities and the state’s struggle for diplomatic recognition.Contributors examine the function and position of music within East German cultural politics, focusing on the relationship between music and authoritarian state policies. While most of the contributions emphasize classical music, referred to in German as ernste Musik, “serious music”, some of them also touch on popular music and jazz. Music also constituted a major factor in the GDR’s international cultural outreach, particularly to ‘neutral’ countries such as Sweden (a central focus of the book).
