The Politics of Prostitution
The most effective way to deal with prostitution has always been hotly debated by governments and women s movements alike. Feminists want it abolished or regulated as sex work; governments have to safeguard public health and order. This book shows how women s movements in Western Europe, North America and Australia have affected politics on prostitution and trafficking of women since the 1970s, asking what made them successful in some countries but a failure in others. It also assesses whether government institutions to advance the status of women - so-called women s policy agencies - have played a key role in achieving policy outcomes favourable to movement demands. Written by an international team of experts and based on original sources, all chapters follow the same framework to ensure comparability. The final chapter offers an overall comparison identifying what makes women s movements successful and women s agencies effective, presenting the case for state feminism .
Finland and National Liberation in Southern Africa
Finland's special characteristics as a Nordic, non-aligned welfare state gave it the resources and motivation to support liberation movements - in spite of restrictions arising from trade interests and a reluctance to jeopardise the country's neutral image. The study shows that, although it is not an easy task, in a democracy ordinary, dedicated people can, over time, influence political decision making at its most closed and guarded area, foreign politics.
The Gender Imperative
The book asserts that human security derives from the experience and expectation of human well-being which depends on four essential conditions: a life sustaining environment, the meeting of essential physical needs, respect for the identity and dignity of persons and groups, protection from avoidable harm and expectations of remedy from them. The book demonstrates their integral relationship to human security. Patriarchy being the germinal paradigm from which most major human institutions such as the state, the economy, organised religions and social relations have evolved, the book argues that fundamental inequalities must be challenged for the sake of equality and security. The fundamenta...

LAUTTASAARESTA SOTEMAAILMAAN
Tämä elämäkerta poikkeaa normaalista. Se sisältää neljä toisiinsa kerroksellisesti liittyvää osaa. Osa 1 Ollin oppivuodet keskittyy arviointeihini perimän ja ympäristön vaikutuksiin sekä ajatusmaailman ja tunteideni vaikutuksiin polkuuni. Osassa 2 teen syöksysukelluksen sotemaailmaan ja osassa 3 irrottautumisen soten virkamiesmaailmasta. Osa 4 kokoaa opit ja ajatukset. Samalla teen menneisyyden ja nykyisyyden kokemusten perusteella arvioita sotemaailman tulevaisuudesta. Olen pitkän virkauran läpikäynyt tutkija, kehittäjä ja bloggari. Eläköitymisen jälkeen olen ollut kahden digitaalisia palveluita, tuotteita ja konsultointia harjoittavien yrityksen vanhempana asiantuntijana. Tietokirjailijan roolissa olen tehnyt ennen elämäkertaa kolme kirjaa: "Soteuudistus - pirullinen ongelma" (2016), "Tietojohtaminen ja tapaus Sote" (2017), "Hyvinvointi- ja terveyshyöty" (2021). Vuodesta 2012 olen pitänyt blogia nimeltä Ollin tuumailut osoitteessa http://ollintuumailut.blogspot.fi.
Suurlähettiläänä kuohuvassa Keski-Euroopassa
Mielenkiintoinen kurkistus suomalaiseen diplomaattielämään antaa värikkään kuvan monista vaihtuvista tilanteista, joihin diplomaatti työssään joutuu. Vilen kohtaa kaikenlaisia ihmisiä Joe Bidenista perijättäriin ja kertoo esimerkiksi, mitä tapahtui, kun Sauli Niinistö halusi rullaluistella Krakovassa, Matti Vanhanen järjesti tikkakisat Unkarin pääministerille ja Tarja Halosen kone laskeutui etuajassa Budapestin kentälle. Työ suurlähettiläänä antaa Jari Vilenille erityislaatuisen aseman tapahtumien tarkasteluun esim. Unkarissa Orbanin noustessa valtaan ja sitten nykyPuolassa. Kirjassa hän pyrkii ymmärtämään miksi ihmiset kääntyvät autoritaaristen johtajien kannattajiksi.
Global Politics of Health
International responses to the outbreak of SARS, the spread of HIV/AIDS, and the promotion of health as a human right all demonstrate how global politics have a profound effect on the way we think about and respond to major health challenges. Despite a growing interest in the relationship between health and international relations there has yet to be a systematic study of the links between them. Global Politics of Health aims to fill this gap - ultimately showing how world politics can be good, or bad, for your health. This book calls for a more nuanced understanding of the nature of the current global health crisis and the political dilemmas faced by those responsible for the development and implementation of responses to it. By charting these debates and showing how they shape the way actors think about key issues relating to health, such as people movement, infectious disease, the business of health, and the consequences of war, this volume provides an innovative and comprehensive introduction to health and international relations for students of global politics, health studies and related disciplines.
