Energy transformation in parliamentary debates: Shifting from technologies to climate strategy in Finland
Politics plays a key role when states steer themselves towards becoming low-carbon societies, as parliaments hold the power to guide nations’ activities. This article engages in a longitudinal analysis of parliamentary debates on energy, and identifies how topics emerge, evolve in parallel, and diminish. We used transcripts of plenary debates in Finnish parliament to model topics in energy from 2008 to 2020. We show that debates shift from one fo…
Energy agendas: A longitudinal analysis of Finnish parliamentary debates
Energy agendas in national parliaments are crucial when countries seek to develop their energy futures while adhering to international obligations. This article examines how energy agendas emerge and evolve in parliamentary debates using data from Finland over a period of 12 years. By relying on topic modelling, we can show how the key energy agendas relate to an overall energy solution, promoting domestic energy production and seeking carbon‐neu…
Ten years after: Is the party-centered theory of campaign professionalization still valid
This study tests the explanatory strength of the party-centered theory of electoral campaign professionalism. The theory was previously subject to testing in various types of elections during the first decade of the new millennium, covering Germany, Austria, Sweden, and Finland. Nevertheless, empirical research in this field has been on hold for almost a decade, obstructing the development of the theory during a time when politics and political c…

Government Formation Amidst Increased Party System Complexity
Too Much Reality? An Ethnographer Looks at Westminster
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…
Inventing Politics: A New Political Anthropology of the Hawaiian Kingdom
How did early nineteenth-century foreigners understand Hawaiian chiefly politics? What kinds of cultural resources did Hawaiians themselves have to make sense of their own structures of domination and those of the West? What was the outcome in political terms of the encounter between Hawaiians and foreigners? To answer these questions, this volume takes readers on an ethnographic journey through Hawaii's early contact period. It begins by explori…
The professionals speak: Practitioners’ perspectives on professional election campaigning
Faced with some fundamental changes in the socio-cultural, political and media environment, political parties in post-industrialized democracies have started to initiate substantial transformations of both their organizational structures and communicative practices. Those innovations, described as professionalization, become most obvious during election campaigns. In recent times, the number of empirical studies measuring the degree of political …
Two Levels of Campaigning: An Empirical Test of the Party-Centred Theory of Professionalisation
In this article, we address the problem of measuring the professionalism of political campaigns in national parliamentary and European Parliamentary elections by means of a comparative analysis. We use party-level campaign data from two fairly similar EU member states, Germany and Finland, and eight elections between 2004 and 2011. The data are used to build an index of campaign professionalism which significantly improves previous measures by gi…
Sourcing the News: Comparing Source Use and Media Framing of the 2009 European Parliamentary Elections
The relationship between journalists and their sources has been described as an interdependent relationship where each part needs the other. For political actors, this relationship is particularly important during election campaigns, when their need to reach voters through the media is even more urgent than usual. This is particularly true with respect to European Parliamentary election campaigns, as these are often less salient and as people's n…
Modes of Professional Campaigning: A Four-Country Comparison in the European Parliamentary Elections, 2009
In recent years, political parties have reacted to far-reaching transformations in their media and sociocultural environments. These changes and adaptations, often assembled under the catchword “professionalization,” become most apparent during electoral campaigns. However, the campaign professionalism of political parties has not yet been systematically “measured,” having been examined mostly in single case studies. Against this background, we p…
Inside Rationality: The Division of Labour in a Parliamentary Party Group
This article analyses the legislative division of labour as a resource for legislators' attempts to present themselves as rational actors. Here rationality is conceptualised as legislators appear to understand it and particular attention is paid to how they collectively negotiate its boundaries. The study uses ethnographic data from the Finnish parliament, Eduskunta, focussing on activities in one parliamentary party group, the Centre Party of Fi…
