Erik Allardt’s emphasis on structural conflicts in social analysis and the comparative scope of his teaching have provided a basis from which this project has grown. No less important have been Erik’s comments and personal support during many years, as well as the stimulating setting for research and the exchange of ideas provided by the Research Group for Comparative Soci- ology at the University of Helsinki. More specifically, the roots of this book go back to the academic year 1973– 4, which I spent in the Center for Research on Social Organization of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Peasants and political conflicts were, in exciting ways, central issues in Charles Tilly’s work. In the intellectual milieu surrounding him it was natural to come to grips with big structures and large processes without feeling them to be too huge. Since the inception of this book, years later, Chuck’s continuing encouragement and advice have greatly facilit- ated the progress of the work up to publication. Many other friends and colleagues have helped me with valuable criti- cism. Matti Alestalo, Edmund Dahlström, Max Engman, Michael Hechter, Antti Karisto, Pauli Kettunen, Matti Klinge, Klaus Mäkelä, Andreas Moritsch, Veijo Notkola, Gert von Pistohlkors, Seppo Pöntinen, Per Schybergson, Hannu Soik- kanen, Henrik Stenius, Irma Sulkunen, Jukka-Pekka Takala, Hannu Uusitalo, and Matti Viikari have read the manuscript or essential parts of it. Their com- ments and suggestions not only corrected many of my errors but also led to a restructuring of the whole work and to repeated efforts at clarifying my argu- ment. Gavin Bingham and, as copyeditor, Anne Canright, with their care and effort, greatly contributed to improving the language and the entire presenta- tion. I also wish to thank Jutta Scherrer for giving me the opportunity to present the preliminary, and in many ways obscure, idea of the character of the revolu- tionary process in Finland in her seminar at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris in 1981. I completed the major part of this study while a research fellow of the Academy of Finland. I am grateful also to the Emil Aaltonen Foundation, the Finnish Cultural Foundation, and the Kone Foundation for their financial sup- port.

    1 INTELLECTUALS AND THE STATE: FINNISH UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENTSIA AND ITS GERMAN IDEALISM TRADITION Jukka Kortti, Adjunct Professor (Docent) University of Helsinki, Department of Political and Economic Studies, Section of Social Science History [email protected] Article (Accepted version) Post-print (ie final draft post-refereeing) Original citation: JUKKA KORTTI (2014). INTELLECTUALS AND THE STATE: THE FINNISH UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENTSIA AND THE GERMAN IDEALIST TRADITION Modern Intellectual History, 11, pp 359-384 doi:10.1017/S1479244314000055 2 Abstract INTELLECTUALS AND THE STATE: FINNISH UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENTSIA AND ITS GERMAN IDEALISM TRADITION The article examines the making of the Finnish intelligentsia and its relation to the state and the nation. The problem is analysed primarily from the perspective of student activism in the twentieth century. The development is viewed in the context of nationalism, (cultural) modernism, and radicalism in the development of the public sphere. The main source consists of the research findings of the student magazine Ylioppilaslehti (Student Magazine), which is not just “any student paper,” but a Finnish institution that has seen most of Finland’s cultural and political elite pass through its editorial staff in the twentieth century. The article demonstrates the importance of German idealism, as theorised by the Finnish statesman and philosopher J.W. Snellman, and its vital role in the activities of the Finnish university intelligentsia well into the 21st century. 3 INTELLECTUALS AND THE STATE: FINNISH UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENTSIA AND ITS GERMAN IDEALISM TRADITION INTRODUCTION In 2013, there has been quite a fuss around Finnish philosopher Pekka Himanen in the Finnish public sphere. Himanen is internationally known as the researcher of the information age – together with Spanish sociologist Manuel Castells, for instance.

  • Cleavages in Contemporary Finland
    Jussi Westinen Cleavages in Contemporary Finland A Study on Party-Voter Ties What kind of a cleavage structure is there in Finland? How are party choice, social structural positions and values and attitudes of the voters entangled with Jussi Westinen each other? The author examines these questions in | 2015 in Contemporary | Cleavages Finland Westinen Jussi this study by analyzing data from the 2003, 2007 and 2011 Finnish National Election Studies. The results Cleavages in Contemporary Finland indicate that the overall effect of social structural positions on values and attitudes is rather weak. A Study on Party-Voter Ties Despite this, a few rather strong connections be- tween these two cleavage elements were identified and they were also linked to voters’ choice of a party. The study implies that old cleavages, those based on native language, type of residential area and occupa- tional class, still exist. The political parties involved in these cleavages are largely the old ones. The volatile parliamentary election in 2011 not only destabi- lized the party system but also renewed the Finnish cleavage structure. The conflict that is based on both occupational class and education and that is reflected in the sociocultural and EU dimensions has the most potential to evolve as a cleavage. By assessing the contemporary cleavages in Finland, the study highlights the similarities and dissimilari- ties in the conflict structure between Finland and other West European countries. The cleavages based on native language and the type of residential area accentuate the specialty of the Finnish case while the potentially emerging cleavages accentuate the more common sources of contlict.

    chapter 2 Dominant Groups and State-Making 1 The Early Nineteenth Century Purely external factors determined the creation of Finland as a distinct polit- ical entity. As Edward C. Thaden dryly puts it, ‘Finnish autonomy, and even the existence of a Finnish nation, can be considered an incidental byproduct of wars between Sweden and Russia during the eighteenth and at the beginning of the nineteenth centuries’.1 Prior to 1809 the mainly Finnish-speaking territories east of the Gulf of Both- nia and north of the Gulf of Finland were an integral part of Sweden. As on the other side of the Gulf of Bothnia, the language of the elites was Swedish. The sea did not separate but rather united the eastern provinces with the hub of the state, and these were more oriented to Stockholm than to each other (see Chapter 4). The south-western region of what later became the Finnish state belonged more or less to the core of the Swedish kingdom, whereas the other regions remained at the periphery. The concept of Finland existed, but it was more a geographical term than a political one. Initially it referred to the south- western region, which had been strongly linked to the core of the state from the thirteenth century onward. Only later was it extended to cover the Finnish- speaking peripheries, which in the course of the subsequent centuries came under the firm control of the Swedish monarchs.2 At the end of the eighteenth century about 15 percent of the total population consisted of Swedish-speakers, most of whom were engaged in farming and fishing on the coastal regions.

The thesis shows that ethnic activists, experts and offi cials were instrumental in the establishment of multiculturalism in Sweden, as they also were in two other early adopters of multiculturalism, Canada and Australia. The breakthrough of multiculturalism, such as it was within the limits of the social democratic welfare-state, was facilitated by who the advocates were, for whom they made their claims, the way the idea of multiculturalism was conceptualised and legitimised as well as the migratory context. 9 789521 231339 ISBN 978-952-12-3133-9 Mats Wikstrom B5 Kansi s16 Inver260 9 December 2014 2:21 PM THE MULTICULTURAL MOMENT © Mats Wickström 2015 Cover picture by Mats Wickström & Frey Wickström Author’s address: History Dept. of Åbo Akademi

Pekka Sulkunen 11201014 Oppdragsgiver Norges Forskningsråd Sammendrag Rapporten dokumenter at dereguleringen av den norske og finske økonomien først og fremst handlet om politikk og politiske prosesser, og i liten grad begrunnet i økonomisk teori. Heller ikke neoliberal filosofi slik vi kjenner den fra USA og Storbritannia spilte noen stor rolle i de to landene. Isteden handlet det om forestillingen om, og fremveksten av, en ny type velferdsstat med behov for en moralsk legitimering av autonomi. Summary The report documents that the deregulation of the Norwegian and Finnish economy primarily was about politics and political processes, and to a much lesser extent about justifications rooted in economic theory. Nor neoliberal philosophy as we know it from the US and Britain played a major role in the two countries. Instead, it was about the notion, and the emergence of, a new kind of welfare state in need of a moral legitimization of autonomy.

  • The Socialist Soviet Republic of Scandinavia
    Ajalooline Ajakiri, 2015, 3 (153), 287–326 The Socialist Soviet Republic of Scandinavia Ainur Elmgren ABSTRACT Nationalist and regionalist geopolitical concepts were appropriated in the ser- vice of Communist world revolution by Finnish activists in Sweden, Finland, and Soviet Karelia. The influence of Social Democratic statesman and scholar of geopolitics, Väinö Voionmaa, can be traced in the negotiations that led to the foundation of an autonomous Karelian Labour Commune in 1921. Exiled Finnish revolutionaries persuaded the Bolsheviks that Karelia could become a stepping-stone towards revolution in Finland and Scandinavia. A greater So- cialist Soviet Republic of Scandinavia, united by cultural, geographical and eco- nomical factors, would monopolize the timber market and exercise economic power over Western Europe. The idea of a Scandinavian revolution was aban- doned along with the idea of world revolution in the mid-1920s. The last men- tions of a Soviet Scandinavia can be found in anti-Soviet propaganda long after the demise of its promoters in the Great Terror. Keywords: geopolitics, revolution, regionalism, nationalism, Scandinavia, So- viet Union, Karelian Labour Commune The pursuit of a “Greater Finland” is a well-known chapter in the history of Finnish nationalism. The Greater Finland project uniting the “tribal brothers” of Finland and Karelia, sometimes also the national irredenta of the border regions in Northern Sweden and Norway, the Kola Penin- sula and the Finno-Ugric minorities of Russia, was practically monopo- lized by right-wing intellectual movements after Finland’s independence in 1917 and the subsequent civil war.1 However, it had inspired politicians and scholars identifying as Socialist before, and it would continue to do so.

    Unequal poverty and equal industrialization: Finnish wealth, 1750–1900 Erik Bengtsson., Anna Missiaia, Ilkka Nummela and Mats Olsson For presentation at the First WID.world Conference, Paris, 14-15 December 2017 Preliminary! All comments welcome 9 918 words, 10 tables, 3 figures Abstract This paper presents for the first time estimates of wealth and its distribution for Finland from 1750 to 1900. Finland is a highly interesting case for historical inequality studies, as a poor and backward European country which embarked on industrialization only in the late nineteenth century. This gives us the opportunity to re-consider common theories and arguments about the relationships between economic growth and inequality. Using wealth data from probate inventories, we show that Finland was very unequal between 1750 and 1850, with the top decile owning about 85 per cent of total wealth. This means that Finland was more unequal than much more advanced economies such as Britain, France and the US, which goes against the common assumption of poorer economies being more equal. It was also more unequal than its most immediate term of comparison, Sweden. Moreover, when industrialization took off in Finland and contra the commonplace assumption of industrialization increasing inequality (see the Kuznets Curve and its later developments), inequality started a downward trajectory where the share of the top decile decreased from 87 per cent in 1850 to 77 per cent in 1900, 71 per cent in 1910 and 64 per cent in 1920. We show that the high inequality from 1750 to 1850 is driven from the bottom, by a large share of the population owning nothing or close to nothing of value, while economic development after 1850 is pro-equality since the ownership of forests, since long in the hands of the peasantry, provided new export opportunities as pulp and paper became very valuable.
