My Hair on a Hat Shelf Satu Hassi My Hair on a Hat Shelf SATU HASSI My Hair on a Hat Shelf TO THE READER This book is based on my diaries between August 2000 and May 2002, when I was working as the Minister for Environment and De- velopment Co-operation in the Finnish coalition Government.

Something had been found in my breast that the doctor want- ed to examine more closely. I didn’t know what to think. Fiddling with my spoon, I suddenly realized that I was happy to be alive. I decided to be thankful for every day of my life from now on. I had gone for my mammogram like for a hair cut. I had plenty of better things to do, but this was probably my duty as a citizen. A couple of weeks ago, my gynaecologist had referred me, as she had done many times before. I had never got round to going be- fore, there always seemed to be more important things to do. Now I thought: i do have a secretary, why worry about when to fit it in,i ’ll ask Kristina to make the appointment. It was this morning. At the Forum medical centre, they shook their heads when they heard that I had had the only mammogram of my life 13 years ago. Then, the reason for my visit was a pain in my breast, the cause of which turned out to be an inflamed muscle. Taking the X-rays hurt, just like last time. Then I was led into a room where they were to examine the breast using ultrasound. A jolly doctor, who recalled having looked at my Achilles tendons pre- viously, came into the room and said that there was nothing unto- ward showing on the X-rays. He said that I could collect the pictures at the cash desk and that I should keep them and bring them along next time. The nurse rubbed gel on my breasts and the doctor glided the ultrasound sensor over them. I was looking at the ceiling, miles away. Then I turned my eyes to the screen. The doctor was circling round and round a single spot like a shark around its prey. I thought i could feel a lump under the sensor, too, that felt somehow different. 11 It was as if it didn’t belong to the breast, as if its sensory nerve struc- unpleasant of the annual events in politics. ture was different from the rest of the breast. The doctor moved the It doesn’t feel so much like a government negotiation, but a series sensor around it in silence. I broke the silence by asking if there was of dialogues between the Minister of Finance and other ministers, something there.

In the monitor’s fuzzy picture, I could also blamed every other minister.

  • Green Parties and Elections to the European Parliament, 1979–2019 Green Par Elections
    Chapter 1 Green Parties and Elections, 1979–2019 Green parties and elections to the European Parliament, 1979–2019 Wolfgang Rüdig Introduction The history of green parties in Europe is closely intertwined with the history of elections to the European Parliament. When the first direct elections to the European Parliament took place in June 1979, the development of green parties in Europe was still in its infancy. Only in Belgium and the UK had green parties been formed that took part in these elections; but ecological lists, which were the pre- decessors of green parties, competed in other countries. Despite not winning representation, the German Greens were particularly influ- enced by the 1979 European elections. Five years later, most partic- ipating countries had seen the formation of national green parties, and the first Green MEPs from Belgium and Germany were elected. Green parties have been represented continuously in the European Parliament since 1984. Subsequent years saw Greens from many other countries joining their Belgian and German colleagues in the Euro- pean Parliament. European elections continued to be important for party formation in new EU member countries. In the 1980s it was the South European countries (Greece, Portugal and Spain), following 4 GREENS FOR A BETTER EUROPE their successful transition to democracies, that became members. Green parties did not have a strong role in their national party systems, and European elections became an important focus for party develop- ment. In the 1990s it was the turn of Austria, Finland and Sweden to join; green parties were already well established in all three nations and provided ongoing support for Greens in the European Parliament.

  • Waiting for the Nuclear Renaissance: Exploring the Nexus of Expansion and Disposal in Europe
    Risk, Hazards & Crisis in Public Policy www.psocommons.org/rhcpp Vol. 1: Iss. 4, Article 3 (2010) Waiting for the Nuclear Renaissance: Exploring the Nexus of Expansion and Disposal in Europe Robert Darst, University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth Jane I. Dawson, Connecticut College Abstract This article focuses on the growing prospects for a nuclear power renaissance in Europe. While accepting the conventional wisdom that the incipient renaissance is being driven by climate change and energy security concerns, we argue that it would not be possible without the pioneering work of Sweden and Finland in providing a technological and sociopolitical solution to the industry’s longstanding “Achilles’ heel”: the safe, permanent, and locally acceptable disposal of high-level radioactive waste. In this article, we track the long decline and sudden resurgence of nuclear power in Europe, examining the correlation between the fortunes of the industry and the emergence of the Swedish model for addressing the nuclear waste problem. Through an in-depth exploration of the evolution of the siting model initiated in Sweden and adopted and successfully implemented in Finland, we emphasize the importance of transparency, trust, volunteerism, and “nuclear oases”: locations already host to substantial nuclear facilities. Climate change and concerns about energy independence and security have all opened the door for a revival of nuclear power in Europe and elsewhere, but we argue that without the solution to the nuclear waste quandary pioneered by Sweden and Finland, the industry would still be waiting for the nuclear renaissance.

Petition 873/2002 by Niemelä and Sario Oy, on behalf of the Finnish Association for Nature Conservation. To investigate the impact of the development of the Vuosaari Cargo Port, and related projects, on the Mustavuori/Östersundom area, specially protected under the Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC & the Birds Directive 79/409/EEC.

PR\528730EN.doc PE 343.922 EN EN Introduction The construction of the Vuosaari Port and hinterland has been discussed by the Helsinki authorities and planned by them for over twenty-five years. Long before their membership of the European Union, the Finnish Government and Helsinki Municipal Council agreed that an alternative cargo port was required in order to relieve pressure on the three existing ports of Helsinki and their urban environment. The economy of the Helsinki region has always been linked to the functioning of the port facilities and competitive development of the Turku port, further to the west, imposed sharper economic considerations on the decision-making process in Helsinki. Construction work finally began at the beginning of 2003 and it is the intention of the Helsinki authorities to complete the Vuosaari harbour and the related Vuoli traffic connections by 2008.

By: Francois LeBlanc, Head, Field Projects There were more than 350 participants to the twenty-fifth session of Finlandia Hall, Helsinki. UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee. I had not participated to these Designed by Finnish architect Aalto Alvar meetings for some time and it was a great pleasure for me to re-connect with some old acquaintances. The meetings have become quite a complex forum. The working papers given to us at registration were more than 3.5 inches thick. I will not attempt to summarize what happened during the meetings because this will be done by the WHC secretariat and will be available shortly on the web at http://www.unesco.org/whc. I will simply highlight some of the Finlandia Hall. Location of the World Heritage activities that may be of interest to us and list the title of the documents Committee meetings given to us. Just the list is two pages long! Should you be interested in consulting some of the documents, please contact Annette. What may also be of interest is that when such meetings are held in countries that I don’t know very well, I usually try to update my knowledge of the country’s history before I leave.

  • Factsheet: the Finnish Eduskunta
    Directorate-General for the Presidency Directorate for Relations with National Parliaments Factsheet: The Finnish Eduskunta 1. At a glance Finland is a republic and a parliamentary democracy. The Finnish Parliament (Eduskunta) is a unicameral body. Its 200 deputies are elected by direct, proportional and secret universal suffrage for a mandate of four years. The Parliament enacts legislation, decides on the state budget, ratifies international treaties and oversees the Government. The Eduskunta meets in three major formations: the plenary session makes final decisions, the committees prepare the files and the parliamentary groups define the political orientations. The Eduskunta has quite extensive powers to formulate Finnish EU policy. Parliament’s position on EU affairs is generally expressed by the Grand Committee, which serves as Parliament’s EU committee. Finnish Constitution provides that the Eduskunta is involved whenever an EU dossier touches on the Eduskunta’s legislative or budgetary power and may also assume responsibility for other dossiers if either the Government or the Grand Committee (or the Foreign Affairs Committee for CFSP issues) so decides. The Grand Committee’s position is normative for the Government. A Finnish coalition government under Prime Minister Mr Antti Rinne (Social Democratic Party/ S&D) came into office on 06 June 2019. It is a 5-party coalition formed by the the Social Democratic Party (S&D), the Centre Party (Renew Europe), the Greens (Greens/EFA), the Left Alliance (GUE/NGL), and the Swedish People’s Party (Renew Europe). In early December 2019, Mr. Rinne resigned from his post as Prime Minister and replaced by the then Minister for Transports, Ms.

The delegation has the honour of presenting its Report The official delegation, led by Speaker Milliken, was composed of the following members: The Honourable Peter Milliken, M.P., Speaker of the House of Commons The Honourable Lawrence MacAulay, P.C., M.P.; Mr. Michel Guimond, M.P.; Mr. Ron Cannan, M.P.; Mr. Bruce Hyer, M.P.; Ms. Colette Déry, Communications Officer, Office of the Speaker; Ms. Julie Pelletier, Secretary to the delegation. Context Canada and Finland have much in common as Nordic, bilingual, democratic countries with modern, innovative economies. The two countries share many values and are alike in areas such as their similar visions of international relations, the protection of human rights, international peacekeeping, crisis management, sustainable development of the North, aboriginal affairs and regulation of information technology. The two countries also both draw on each other’s experience on a wide range of issues. For example, the Canadian model based of multiculturalism has been studied with great interest in Finland. There is considerable mutual assistance between the two countries on issues affecting the Arctic. Their cooperation on the Arctic Council is essential to circumpolar cooperation and both countries promote sustainable human development in that region on the Council. Their objectives also converge with respect to the University of the Arctic.

    Deep Time Iterations: Familiarity, Horizons, and Pattern Among Finland’s Nuclear Waste Safety Experts A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Vincent Francis Ialenti Cornell University Department of Anthropology December 2017 © Vincent Francis Ialenti ii Deep Time Iterations: Familiarity, Horizons, and Pattern Among Finland’s Nuclear Waste Safety Experts Vincent Francis Ialenti, PhD Cornell University 2017 This ethnography reconsiders nuclear waste risk’s deep time horizons’ often-sensationalized aesthetics of horror, sublimity, and awe. It does so by tracking how Finland’s nuclear energy and waste experts made visions of distant future Finlands appear more intelligible through mundane corporate, regulatory, financial, and technoscientific practices. Each chapter unpacks how informants iterated and reiterated traces of the very familiar to establish shared grounds of continuity for moving forward in time. Chapter 1 explores how Finland’s energy sector’s “mankala” cooperative corporate form was iterated and reiterated to give shape to political and financial time horizons.
