    Services to Citizens in the EU in Facts and Figures

    161/2007 - 27 November 2007 Consumers in Europe Services to citizens in the EU in facts and figures How many EU households have only mobile phones? For how long do they talk per day on their mobile phones? How many inhabitants are served by each post office in the Member States? How many Automatic Teller Machines (ATM) are there per inhabitant in the EU? How do Europeans prefer to pay for their purchases? Answers to these questions and many more can be found in the publication1 "Consumers in Europe – facts and figures", jointly published by Eurostat, the Statistical Office of the European Communities and the General Directorate Health & Consumer Protection of the European Commission. This third edition of "Consumers in Europe" focuses on network industries providing services of general interest to the European consumers. These services are utilities such as transport, energy, water, electricity, telecommunications, internet, postal services and banking services, which play a fundamental role in the economic and social lives of citizens. Nearly one mobile phone subscription per inhabitant in the EU27 in 2005 The number of mobile telephone subscriptions2 has increased almost fourteen times between 1996 and 2005 in the EU27, from 7 subscriptions per 100 inhabitants in 1996 to 96 in 2005. In 2005, thirteen Member States had more than 100 mobile phone subscriptions per 100 inhabitants. Luxembourg (158), Lithuania (127), Italy (122), the Czech Republic (115) and Portugal (111) registered the highest ratios and Romania (62), Poland (76), France (77) and Bulgaria (80) the lowest. In contrast, the number of fixed telephone lines per 100 inhabitants in the EU27 has only increased slightly in this period, from 43 lines per 100 inhabitants in 1996 to 48 in 2005.

In addition to social and health care services in the western region of Finland, the intention is to create models, possibilities and a new intensification concept for regional development within education, research and development (R&D). In phase one he data was collected in the form of a questionnaire on a regional and local level. The second phase focused on data collection using the method “Call for Papers” on a national level. The third phase was guided by the results from the former two phases. The data was collected by conducting four focus group interviews among leaders within health and social care. The data was analyzed through content analysis. The results emerging from this survey promote collaboration between the universities and universities of applied sciences, different networks, health and social care services. Furthermore, the results emphasize the need to develop inter- professional and multilingual learning environments, entrepreneurship, multi-professional R&D and a means for leadership to promote the vision of leading toward change.

    Journal of Social Science Education Volume 15, Number 2, Summer 2016 DOI 10.4119/UNIBI/jsse-v15-i2-1475 Pia Mikander Globalization as Continuing Colonialism: Critical Global Citizenship Education in an Unequal World In an unequal world, education about global inequality can be seen as a controversial but necessary topic for social science to deal with. Even though the world no longer consists of colonies and colonial powers, many aspects of the global economy follow the same patterns as during colonial times, with widening gaps between the world’s richest and the world’s poorest. An analysis of Finnish textbook texts includes practical examples of how globalization is portrayed within basic education. It reveals that the textbooks vary in their interpretations of the relationship between colonialism and globalization. The people of the North are rarely portrayed as responsible for the poverty in the South. Globalization is not described as a politically implicated phenomenon. The article also presents the critical global citizenship education initiative as an approach to the topic. It suggests that students can learn to challenge common assumptions that conceal the historical and structural roots of power relations. Teaching about privilege can be seen as another supplementary method to help students understand their position in the world. Keywords: However, a range of international issues, from the divi- Social science, global inequality, social studies, Finland, sion of labor and manufacturing of clothes to interna- history, geography, critical global citizenship education, tional weapons trade, migration, refugee crises and critical literacy, textbook research tourism, can be understood as rooted in the past, in colonial settings.

    Institutionalization of Transnationalizing Political Parties

    Jakobson et al. Comparative Migration Studies (2021) 9:40 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40878-021-00241-5 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access Institutionalization of transnationalizing political parties: the case of the Conservative People’s Party of Estonia Mari-Liis Jakobson1,2* , Tõnis Saarts2 and Leif Kalev2 * Correspondence: mari-liis. [email protected] Abstract 1The Whitney and Betty MacMillan Center for International and Area While party institutionalization research has advanced notably in the recent years, Studies, Yale University, 34 Hillhouse the institutionalization of political parties that extend their organizations abroad (i.e. Avenue, New Haven, CT 06511, USA transnationalizing parties) has remained an academically uncharted territory. This 2School of Governance, Law and Society, Tallinn University, Narva article draws on party institutionalization literature and analyses the particularities of mnt 25, 10120 Tallinn, Estonia institutionalization in transnationalizing parties. The findings suggest that transnational institutionalization takes place simultaneously on multiple levels (local, national and transnational) and is distinctly interactive, placing crucial importance on the activities and responsiveness of both the central party organization as well as the extraterritorial branches. The internal dimensions of institutionalization can be notably affected by the territorially and temporally scattered nature of emigrant communities and by the sense of inclusion provided to the activists. The external dimensions of transnational institutionalization involve a wider variety of actors than institutionalization on the national level and can also be more challenging due to the more contingent socialization patterns and interest in politics of transnational migrants. Transnational institutionalization of political parties is relevant to the parties and their continuous electoral success, but also for transnational migrant communities and impact of their political participation.
