The Changing Balance of Political Power in Finland

The Changing Balance of Political Power in Finland

Lauri Karvonen, Heikki Paloheimo, Tapio Raunio Editors

The political landscape in Finland has changed dramatically during the past three and a half decades. Like every­where in the democratic West these changes have pertained to the economic and social underpinnings of the political process as well as to the concrete substance of govern­ment policy. Unlike most comparable countries, however, the transformation of Finnish politics has also been a matter of institutional change. In fact, as this book argues at length, the basic regime type of the Finnish political system has changed. Despite the magnitude of change, there has been little comprehensive analysis of power relations in modern Finnish politics. The present volume attempts to fill part of that void.
