This volume brings together scholars from intellectual history, social sciences, philosophy and theology to evaluate central questions concerning political violence and aggression. This multidisciplinary collection of essays critically investigates forms and modes of justification of political violence from historical and contemporary perspectives, especially within the context of the development of the idea of Europe and modern European identity. What is meant by political violence and aggression? When and under which conditions is it justified? Who has the right to exercise it and against whom? Answers differ depending on various factors such as pre-established ends, available resources and possibilities of action, historical and socio-economic context, the ideological, political, and religious-theological background of the actors. The volume pays special attention to (a) how the above questions have been addressed and answered political, philosophical and theological thought, and (b) what kind of ideological currents and historical events lay at the background of such considerations.

Avattujen arkistojen löydöt, kertomatta jätetty totuus Pysäyttävä kirja lasten kohtaloista vuoden 1918 sodassa ja vankileireillä; hiljaisten historiaa, joka muuttaa Suomen sisällissodan historiankirjoituksen. Vankileirien lapset on aihe, josta vuoden 1918 sodan tutkimuksessa on pitkään vaiettu. Vasta viime aikoina on tuotu esiin esimerkiksi lähes tuhannen vuosina 1900–1917 syntyneen alaikäisen lapsen kuolema leireillä.Alle 15-vuotiaita uhreja, kadonneita ja vangittuja oli kaikkiaan lähes kaksituhatta. Tuulikki Pekkalainen selvittää teoksessaan näiden lasten kohtalot sodan aikana, kuulusteluissa, leireillä ja valtiorikosoikeudessa. Samalla muodostuu koskettava ajankuva lapsen asemasta 1900-luvun alun Suomessa. Tuulikki Pekkalainen on Turussa asuva valtiotieteen maisteri ja tietokirjailija, jonka viimeisin teos Susinartut ja pikku immet – Sisällissodan tuntemattomat naiset ilmestyi vuonna 2011 ja herätti runsasta keskustelua.
Now in its fourth edition, this textbook has been extensively updated and provides a comprehensive account of first language acquisition.
