  • Basic Income in the Finnish Public Discussion in 2006-2012
    Johanna Perkiö PhD student School of Social Sciences and Humanities University of Tampere [email protected] Paper to be presented at the 14th BIEN Congress in Munich 14-16 September 2012 Paper in progress (first draft) The Struggle over Interpretation: Basic Income in the Finnish Public Discussion in 2006-2012 Introduction The paper addresses the public discussion on basic income in Finland in 2006-2012 from the analytical viewpoint of historical institutionalism and studies on the role of ideas in policy processes. The approach is interested in the questions such as how the policy idea (e.g. basic income) has evolved over time and how it is interpreted, argued and justified by political actors. The ideas are seen as powerful drivers of political change (combined with socio-economic structures, institutional constraints and political power relations). The special interest of the paper is framing, i.e. the "linguistic lenses" through which the idea of basic income is viewed. Basic income (BI) has been regularly discussed in Finland since the early 1980s.1 All along, the idea has gained support - as well as resistance - across the political divide. The public discussion on BI was widespread during the 1980-1990s and again from 2006 onwards. In between, there was a silent period. The latter period (from 2006 onwards) can be roughly divided into two peaks: 2006- 2007 and 2011-2012. The public discussion in the earlier period (~1980-2000) and in the beginning of the latter period (2006-2007) is relatively well documented (see Lahtinen 1992; Andersson 2000; Ylikahri 2007; Ikkala 2008; Julkunen 2009).

  • Teaching for Civil Society in Finland: a Canadian Perspective on Finnish
    Page 22 in education 24(1) Spring 2018 Teaching for Civil Society in Finland: A Canadian Perspective on Finnish Educators' Reflections Paul Orlowski University of Saskatchewan Author’s Note This study was funded by a John Ranton McIntosh grant. Abstract This article describes a study that took place in Helsinki, Finland in late 2015. A Canadian education professor conducted individual interviews with Finnish educators: six practicing teachers in Helsinki schools, two education professors at the University of Helsinki, and the advisor to the president of Finland’s teachers’ union. Although all five Nordic countries are known to support the social welfare state, Finland was chosen because it is considered to be the most economically left. The study is an exploration of how Finnish educators consider their role and the role of the school regarding civil society and the commons in Finland. The actual research question for the study was, “How do Finnish educators think about the school’s role in supporting the commons and in fostering social cohesion with immigration?” The nine participants were unanimous in their support of the commons and Finland’s generous social welfare state, apparently the result of a collectivist mentality in Finnish society. However, there appears to be growing social, economic, and political discrimination for immigrants and refugees who look different from White Finns. The six teacher-participants expressed uncertainty around how best to deal with these tensions, and were committed to attempting neutrality in their teaching of these social problems, or perhaps even ignoring them altogether. Despite the small sample set, I believe it represents a cross section of views of educators in contemporary Finland.

To the professors and my colleagues at ISCTE, especially from the International Studies program: I appreciate your thoughts, words, listening, knowledge, advice, and particularly your time. You’ve challenged my thinking and encouraged me to change and grow, and for this I will be eternally grateful. To my friends near and far across the globe: I truly value our interactions, your help, your tolerance for my occasional nonsense, and the laughs we regularly share. I look forward to our next meeting. Last, but certainly not least, to my family: for your unconditional and unquestioning love, support, assistance, acceptance, and understanding. All of your contributions are directly responsible for my efforts and accomplishments, and have helped me arrive where I am today. None of this would have been possible without you! I’m not certain words or actions exist which can adequately capture and express the depth of my gratitude and appreciation. I offer you these words anyway, with the hope you understand.
