Material deprivation affects mental health recovery assemblages: A micropolitical inquiry into sociomaterial inequalities
This article examines the sociomaterial inequalities encountered by young adults experiencing distress at the micro level with a focus on how various forms of material deprivation become embedded within recovery assemblages. Drawing on the Deleuzian–Guattarian new materialist approach, we define assemblages as human and nonhuman networks that connect material and immaterial elements together. In these assemblages, matter is considered to have ‘ag…
Fostering aspirations among youth outside education and employment – A qualitative study on coaching professionals’ perspectives
Individually tailored support contributes to opportunities for youth. • Coaches promoted youth’s capabilities for voice and aspirations. • Coaches aimed to build youth’s readiness to pursue personal goals. • Focus areas: future, self-perception, life skills, well-being, support networks. Young people who are not engaged in education or employment represent a heterogeneous population facing a range of complex and multifaceted challenges. Intervent…
Doing Community Amid Tension and Vulnerability: Involvement and Control in Older Adults’ Accounts of Their Neighbourhood
Rather than fixed entities, urban communities are in a constant process of making: They are practised in and through everyday relational settings and are therefore necessarily tension‐laden. Drawing from focus group interviews with older adults living in the third‐largest city in Finland, we aim to further the understanding of “doing community” amid tensions and vulnerability. We analyse older people’s accounts of their everyday dealings and doin…

Social Policy in a Climate Emergency Context: Towards an Ecosocial Research Agenda
Social policy developed as a research field and academic discipline to ensure protection from social risks in the era of emerging capitalism and industrialization. While welfare states have successfully increased their citizens' wellbeing, they have also contributed to the ecological crisis, while the shared scientific understanding of exceeded planetary boundaries and worsening climate change scenarios has not (yet) reshaped mainstream social po…
Independent living with mobility restrictions: Older people's perceptions of their out-of-home mobility
We studied older people's perceptions of how they organise their out-of-home mobility and independent living when they face mobility restrictions, based on seven focus groups with older people (N = 28) from a suburb in Finland. This article provides an everyday life view of how the ability to move outside the home evolves through interdependencies between older people and their neighbourhoods, social relations and societal arrangements. Our findi…
The Public, the Private and the Changing Expectations for Everyday Welfare Services: The Case of Finnish Parents Seeking Private Health Care for their Children
This article sheds light on a policy area where the notion of the active citizen has gained prominence as part of the transformation of the welfare state: purchasing private health services and private health insurance for children in Finland. Although the country’s universal health care system offers free primary health care for children, 40 per cent of children now have private insurance. Drawing on interviews with parents who seek private solu…
Individualization of disadvantaged young people’s agency
This article examines how professionals working in youth support services articulate the agency of disadvantaged young people living in a suburban area. Using focus group discussions between professionals in the field of youth services, this article shows that professional articulations of disadvantaged young peoples’ agency are shaped in line with institutional and ideological individualization, which is embedded in the predominant societal prac…
Bypassing Publicity for Getting Things Done: Between Informal and Formal Planning Practices in Finland
This article contributes to the discussion concerning the ways in which network governance and classical-modernist government practices juxtapose and redefine the idea of publicity in planning practices. Through Finnish urban planning cases we ask what kind of publicity is being promoted. We argue that new modes of governing build and employ institutional ambiguity for ‘getting things done’. This provides possibilities to ‘skim the cream’ of the …
Universalism and the Challenge of Diversity
Welfare State, Universalism and Diversity is a thought-provoking book dealing with key ideas, values and principles of social policies and asking what exactly is meant by universal benefits and policies? Is the time of post-war universalism over? Are universalism and diversity contradictory policy and theory framings?

From Innovation to Convention: Legitimate Citizen Participation in Local Governance
In governance structure legitimacy is required not only of the governing system, local authorities or public organisations but also of other participants, including citizens. The legitimacy cannot be judged either by traditions of representative democracy or by innovative theories of deliberative or participatory democracy. The article analyses scientific publications on citizen participation in local governance. It asks how empirical studies on …
Care 'going market: Finnish elderly-care policies in transition
The article evaluates marketization and its effects on elderly-care policies in Finland, where the welfare state has been the most important mechanism in mitigating failures caused by the functioning of market. In addition, since the 1960s the public sector has been regarded as the guarantee for citizens' social rights and the common good. Therefore, marketization, denoting to market logics intervened with social-care practices that construct car…

Expertise, Representation and the Common Good: Grounds for Legitimacy in the Urban Governance Network
This paper discusses the local planning of sustainable development in terms of urban governance. It is particularly interested to examine the grounds for the legitimacy of different actors and the process of legitimation in one urban network. Legitimation is understood here as a discursive process of acceptance in which the actors involved locate themselves and others in the structures of governance. The results indicate that people from the loca…
