    Evidence of Partisan Emphasis on EMU during 1994–1999: Comparing Finnish Parties Marko Karttunen ACADEMIC DISSERTATION To be presented, with the permission of the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Helsinki, for public examination in the lecture room XII, University main building, on 18 April 2009, at 10:00 a.m. Acta Politica 38 Department of Political Science University of Helsinki ISBN 978-952-10-5380-1 (Paperback) ISBN 978-952-10-5381-8 (PDF, http://ethesis.helsinki.fi) ISSN 0515-3093 Helsinki University Print Helsinki 2009 Political power can be better understood in the degree that language is better understood, and that the language of politics can be usefully studied by quantitative methods. (Lasswell & Leites & Associates 1949, preface) Abstract This study explores the EMU stand taken by the major Finnish political parties from 1994 to 1999. The starting point is the empirical evidence showing that party responses to European integration are shaped by a mix of national and cross-national factors, with national factors having more explanatory value. The study is the first to produce evidence that classified party documents such as protocols, manifestos and authoritative policy summaries may describe the EMU policy emphasis. In fact, as the literature review demonstrates, it has been unclear so far what kind of stand the three major Finnish political parties took during 1994–1999. Consequently, this study makes a substantive contribution to understanding the factors that shaped EMU party policies, and eventually, the

Tutkin luonnollisesti myös sitä, kuinka tietoisia asiakkaat ovat IsoKarhun nykyisistä uusista aukioloajoista ja miten ne ovat asiakkaiden mielestä esillä. Opinnäytetyöni teoriaosiossa käsittelen ostokäyttäytymistä. Lisäksi käsittelen työssäni yleisesti kauppakeskustoimintaa sekä aukioloaikoja ja niiden muutoksia vuosien varrella. Aihe on melko ajankohtainen, sillä vuoden 2009 marraskuussa hyväksyttiin uusi kauppojen aukioloja säätelevä liikeaikalaki. Lakiuudistus herätti paljon keskustelua, sillä lakiuudistuksella oli hyvin paljon sekä puolestapuhujia että vastustajia. Lakiuudistuksen suurimpia muutoksia olivat sunnuntaiaukiolon vapauttaminen ympärivuotiseksi sekä alle 400 neliömetristen kauppojen aukiolon täydellinen vapautus. Lakiuudistuksen myötä useat liikkeet, kauppakeskus IsoKarhu mukaanlukien, muuttivat aukioloaikojansa. Tutkimus edusti kvantitatiivista eli määrällistä tutkimusta ja tutkimusmenetelmänä käytettiin
