    A COMPREHENSIVE REFORM PACKAGE FOR THE EU On Thursday 18 January 2018, at 9:30-11:00 At the Seminar Hall Arkadiankatu 23, entrance H (inner courtyard), Helsinki After a turbulent decade, a growing economy and the victories of pro-European forces in France and elsewhere have returned a sense of optimism to the European Union. In order to prepare the EU for future storms, a number of far-reaching reforms have been proposed. These touch upon asylum policy, Eurozone governance and European security. The window of opportunity for undertaking such reforms is narrow, and the recent years of crises have left deep divides between and within EU member states. How can the EU build trust and repair the collateral damages caused by the crises? Is a comprehensive reform package possible, and what kind of compromises would it require? How can the EU deal with the challenge of authoritarian populism? Opening remarks Teija Tiilikainen, Director, Finnish Institute of International Affairs and Chair: Speakers: Janis A. Emmanouilidis, Director of Studies, European Policy Centre Petteri Orpo, Minister of Finance of Finland Comments: Juha Jokela, Programme Director, Finnish Institute of International Affairs The seminar marks the launch of the report Re-energising Europe: A Package deal for the EU27. The report is a culmination of five years of work, and reflects more than 120 national and transnational debates across Europe under the New Pact for Europe initiative steered by King Baudouin Foundation, Bertelsmann Stiftung, Open Society Initiative for Europe and the European Policy Centre. The Finnish Institute of International Affairs is one of the national partners of the initiative and coordinated the work of the Finnish National Reflection Group.

What kind of a future relationship is conceivable? How will Ireland shape the Brexit?

    8 the Åland Islands, Finland and European Security in the 21St

    The $land Islands, Finland and European Security in the 21st Century Saila Heinikoski The $land Islands, Finland and European Security in the 21st Century Saila Heinikoski Journal of Autonomy and Security Studies, 1(1) 2017, E + 45. URL7 http7//jass.a.G olume-1-issue-1-Heinikoski/ Abstract This article reviews the $land Islands in the European and Finnish security context. The $land Islands is a demilitarised, neutralised and autonomous province of Finland, and the aim of the article is to look at how the more than 160-year old demilitarisation regime relates to the current security context. The time period to be examined is limited to the 21st century, encompassing deeper security cooperation of the European Union and debates on Finnish foreign policy in the European context as a non-,AT2 country. A major theme of the discussion is to look at the militarisation trends in Europe and how that might affect Finland and the $land Islands. The article also touches upon topical issues such as /re.it, ad ancement of European security cooperation, and Finnish ,AT2 debates. It examines the demands for change concerning the status of the $land Islands as well as how security is approached from the $landic perspective. Moreover, the issue of what could happen if Finland would join ,AT2 is discussed. The article concludes that the status appears to have very stable role stipulated in international law, despite securitising and militarising trends in the surrounding region. Indeed, a multilateral solution such as demilitarisation serves as a contrast to the regionalisation operating on military logic.

This seminar will assess the political situation on Brexit in the UK as well as the future perspectives with respect to a post-Brexit partnership agreement with the EU. A no- deal scenario will also be compared and contrasted with the withdrawal agreement from a legal point of view. What would a no-deal mean for trade, citizens and the broader relations between the UK and the EU?
