The Finnish Experience: On the construction of a sovereign state and its welfare system
During the academic year 2009/2010 the Stockholm School of Economics in Riga in cooperation with the Embassy of Finland and the Embassy of Sweden intend to offer a series of lectures on various aspects of the ”Nordic Model” and its eventual relevance for the Baltic countries.
The first lecture in this series focuses on: The lecture discusses how Finland has developed as a state, society and culture between the 1910s and the turn of the millennium. How were the international threats handled? How have values and the national identity been formed in a sometimes rapidly changing world, and how this has dictated the construction of the Finnish society?
The lecture will be given by Professor Henrik Meinander, University of Helsinki.
The lecture will take place on Tuesday, November 10, 16.00 – 18.00 at the Stockholm School of Economics in Riga, Strelnieku iela 4a. Please register for the lecture at: http://www.sseriga.edu.lv/node/681
