Care organisations role as intermediaries between the authorities and the marginalised in crisis management
Social service providers work to alleviate social disadvantages, which may particularly loom during crises. These organisations have a close understanding of the needs of their clients. However, this knowledge is rarely taken into account in tailoring crisis measures, which may lead to increased vulnerability and create additional suffering. In this paper, we take a novel look at the role of care organisations as intermediaries between their clie…
Money Laundering and Corruption in International Business
Nordic countries are viewed as having low levels of corruption. However, Nordic businesses can be exploited in corruption or money laundering schemes. The KORPEN project (Korruption i samband med näringsverksamhet i Norden) was funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers, coordinated by the Ministry of Justice, Finland and implemented by the Police University College. The project concludes that anti-corruption and anti-money laundering (AML) effort…
The engagement of informal volunteers in disaster management in Europe
Informal volunteering is increasingly important in disaster management, but authorities remain cautious about collaborating with informal volunteers. Relatively little is known about the extent to which informal volunteers are integrated into European disaster management systems. We try to remedy this gap by examining Germany, Italy, Belgium, Hungary, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Estonia, focusing on (1) the policies and institutional arrangement…
Approaches to ‘vulnerability’ in eight European disaster management systems
While social vulnerability in the face of disasters has received increasing academic attention, relatively little is known about the extent to which that knowledge is reflected in practice by institutions involved in disaster management. This study charts the practitioners’ approaches to disaster vulnerability in eight European countries: Belgium; Estonia; Finland; Germany; Hungary; Italy; Norway; and Sweden. It draws on a comparative document an…
Handling false information in emergency management
During emergencies, exposure to false information can increase individual vulnerability. More research is needed on how emergency management institutions understand the effects of false information and what are the various approaches to handling it. Our document analysis and 95 expert interviews in eight European countries – Germany, Italy, Belgium, Sweden, Hungary, Norway, Finland, and Estonia – show that approaches vary considerably: some have …
The Association between Discrimination and Psychological and Social Well-being
Background Discrimination is known to negatively affect the psychological well-being of migrants. Less is known on the association between discrimination and social well-being. Aim We examined the association between experienced discrimination and psychological (mental health, quality of life) and social well-being (loneliness, feelings of safety, trust towards society) in Russian, Somali and Kurdish migrants in Finland. Methods We used data from…
Safe School Day According to the Young
We explore how young students perceive a safe school day, what makes them feel insecure, and which factors in daily school life increase their sense of safety. Our data comprise school essays by 7th to 9th graders from one comprehensive school in Tampere, Finland. The study is a qualitative case study with a narrative approach. Applying both data-driven and theory-driven content analysis, we have classified our findings into three main categories…
Border Research in Practice and Theory
Definitely not yet the End of Nations
The main thesis of this article is that nations still form an essential socio-spatial unit in the worldviews and mind maps of contemporary youth. Borderlands - as loci of various(cultural, economic, etc.) forms of exchange - make an interesting context of study in this respect; this is where the forms of nationalist practices can be encountered in the most concrete occasions. In focus in this article are the youth of the Finnish-Swedish and Finni…
New crossings at different borders
Finland is surrounded by a 2,413‐mile (3,892‐kilometer) land border and 775 miles (1,250 kilometers) of territorial waters. A basic distinction can be made between: (1) the western and northern (Finnish‐Swedish and Finnish‐Norwegian) borders, and (2) its eastern (Finnish‐Russian) border. The southern sea border with Estonia is currently an intermediate case, but it is developing rapidly to be an internal European Union (EU) border. The Finnish‐Sw…
Norden is Dead — Long Live the Eastwards Faced Euro-North
Norden may be forgotten, but northern spatial politics is `alive and kicking'. The human aspiration to define, represent and master space has not ended in the northern hemisphere. Claims made about `the end of the geography', given the decreasing importance of spatial distance or location, are misleading. Geography still matters, albeit the modes of geographical reasoning are radically changing. An analysis of spatial politics practised by multip…
