  • Dynamics in Education Politics
    Dynamics in Education Politics Dynamics in Education Politics: Understanding and Explaining the Finnish Case intro­ duces a new theoretical framework characterised as Comparative Analytics of Dynamics in Education Politics (CADEP). Albeit the topicality of comparative research is obvious in the current era of global large-scale assessment, with its concomitant media visibility and political effects, comparative education is still suffering from certain methodological deficits and is in need of robust theo­ risation. Focusing on relational dynamics between policy threads, actors and institutions in education politics CADEP seriously considers the phenomena of complexity, contingency and trans-nationality in late-modern societies. In this book CADEP is applied and validated in analysing the “Finnish Edu­ cational Miracle” that has been attracting attention in the educational world ever since they rocketed to fame following the PISA studies during the 2000s. This book will open up opportunities for mutual understanding and learn­ ing rather than just celebrating the exceptional circumstances or sustainable leadership. Areas covered include: • Analytics of dynamics in education politics • Dynamics of policy making and governance • Dynamics of educational family strategies • Dynamics of classroom culture. It is vital for humankind to be able to learn from each other’s successes and failures, and this applies in education too.This book is thus a valuable read for anyone interested in the education system and wanting to shape the learning environment. Hannu Simola, PhD, is Professor in Sociology and Politics of Education, at the Universities of Turku and Helsinki. His research interests are currently focused on socioanalysis of teacherhood, contextual analytics of educational innovations and local educational ethos.

The main purpose of the study was to investigate how highly educated (university-educated) Taiwanese women acquire, transfer and transform their cultural capital through their middle-class habitus to seek a self-acceptable social position in Finnish society. The study’s theoretical frameworks have drawn on Bourdieu’s concept of habitus, capital, field, and practice, and incorporate an intersectionality perspective into the data analysis in the interest of gaining deeper insights into the complexities of the women’s experiences in terms of their multiple positions in different social settings in Finland.

  • Presidential Elections in Finland
    PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN FINLAND 22nd January and 5th February 2012 European Elections monitor Conservative, Sauli Niinistö, the major favourite in the Finnish Presidential Election from Corinne Deloy Translated by Helen Levy On 22nd January next, on the third Sunday in January, as is customary, just over 4.4 million Finnish are being called to ballot to appoint the successor to Tarja Halonen, as President of the Republic. Analysis The outgoing head of State, elected for the first time on 6th February 2000, cannot stand again, 1 month before since the Constitution does not allow the President of the Republic to hold office for more than two the poll consecutive terms. The presidential election is the most popular of votes in Finland. 300,000 people turn out for this election alone. On average turnout is around 80%, which is around 10 points over that normally recorded in the general elections. The Finnish like this election very much since it is much more personal than the general elections, in which they have to opt for a list of people and therefore more for a political party. If no candidate wins the absolute majority on 22nd January, a second round will take place on 5th February. According to Pekka Perttula, the editor in chief of the newspaper Suomenmaa, the presidential elec- tion on 22nd January and 5th February will be a turning point, as it was in January 1982. In that year Mauno Koivisto (Social Democratic Party, SPD) won, and this marked the end of the Centre Party’s predominance over Finnish political life; this was the start of a 30 year cycle of social demo- cratic presidency (Martti Ahtisaari (SPD) succeeded Mauno Koivisto on 6th February 1994 as head of state and Tarja Halonen succeed Martti Ahtisaari on 6th February 2000).
