Interpretations of the Finnish Civil War of 1918
The war between the Reds and the Whites in Finland has been given different names, suggesting different ways of interpreting, and understanding it.But given the multiple dimensions involved, this conflict cannot be confined to a single term.What's more, it was not obvious, even to contemporaries, that it would break out because of the specific socio-political situation in Finland at the time.Nevertheless, it was fierce and had tragic human conseq…

Nordic Paths to Modernity
Within the growing attention to the diverse forms and trajectories of modern societies, the Nordic countries are now widely seen as a distinctive and instructive case. While discussions have centred on the 'Nordic model' of the welfare state and its record of adaptation to the changing global environment of the late twentieth century, this volume's focus goes beyond these themes. The guiding principle here is that a long-term historical-sociologi…
Understanding Russianness
The Construction of the Voter in Finland, C. 1860-1907
Redescriptions: Political Thought, Conceptual History and Feminist Theory is an international refereed open access journal, which publishes contributions on the transdisciplinary study of concepts. In classical rhetoric, ‘redescription’ refers to a rhetorical move that alters the use of a concept in one respect or another. The journal draws attention to conceptual moves within political theory, conceptual history and feminist thought, and highlig…
Erik Allardt
Typical of Erik Allardt's quality as a scholar and an intellectual is a willingness and a capacity to take into consideration opposite positions in the same analysis and to act at the interface of the national and international levels. This quality appears most clearly in his theory of the preconditions of solidarity, in which both 'rational' and 'irrational' reactions to the adversities of modernization are explained by the same set of variables…
Associations and Contention in France and Finland
The role of voluntary associations in the repertoire of joint action in France and Finland captures in a concrete way the character of the political culture in the two countries. The role of associations is viewed, first, in a historical state–society perspective. In Finland, they appear to be the main vehicle for making claims and taking joint action, whereas in France they have long been harassed or barely tolerated by the state. Second, seen a…
What is Western and What is Eastern in Finland
The character of Finnish political culture stems from the country's specific position as a polity which emerged in the interface between Sweden and Russia. Western, or Scandinavian, by institutions and structures and Eastern by dependence on a multinational empire in the late 19th and the early 20th centuries, this minority region in the Russian empire underwent a bloody civil war in 1918, in the wake of two revolutions in Russia in 1917. The res…

Networks, Identity, and (In)action
In analyses of the political quiescence in Russia today the emphasis is predominantly on the lack or deficit of something - above all, the weakness of civil society. In order to avoid this one-sided and arguably biased Western way to view the Russians' strategies of cooperation and challenge, a look is taken, in a comparative perspective, at people's daily practices. The data consist of the information on the personal networks of secondary school…

Nineteenth Century Nationalism in Finland
To assess the nature of Finnish nationalism, Finland should be compared with other minor nationalities within the great multinational empires of the nineteenth century. In this perspective it seems of utmost importance that Finnish nationalism developed in the interface between the Swedish and Russian centers, one economically and culturally dominant, the other politically dominant, but economically backward. Starting from this background, it is …
European peasant parties
This massive collection of articles deals with a very interesting subject. Interest in European peasant politics has grown recently, especially concerning East-European developments during the inter-war period. This interest has coincided with extensive research into the political mobilisation of the peasantries in the third world and is partly linked to it. Comparative analyses however, have remained rare. The present volume therefore aims at re…
Peasants, States, and the Capitalist World System
Immanuel Wallerstein tells in the opening volume of his projected work on the development of the capitalist world system, that during its formative period in the sixteenth century some areas in Europe and elsewhere became (not: remained) 'traditional' because (not: despite the fact that) certain neighbouring areas 'modernized'.1 -What does this mean? Clearly the idea is analogous to Andre Gunder Frank's and others' thesis about development as the…
Regional variations in political mobilisation
On the Political Mobilization of the Agrarian Population in Finland
The hypotheses and suggestions laid out in the preceding pages have as their premiss the view that the political mobilization of the agrarian population in Finland could and should be studied by analyzing regional variations in the changeover from peasant to farmer. What were the major shifts in the institutional context within which men had to make their choices? What were the emerging alternative institutions, and could the peasant make a viabl…
