Finland's April elections a test for local power structure

Finland holds municipal elections in April. At the same time, there are council elections in 21 so-called wellbeing services counties. After the healthcare reform, they will be responsible for social and healthcare services. But interest in running as a candidate and in voting seems to be falling.

Challenging globalisation’s winners: The OECD wants to bridge the divides

The OECD’s Stefano Scarpetta calls the new narrative a paradigm shift.

Social scientists must guide us out of the crisis

Sustainability - a strategy for the future

Can society be sustainable if working life isn't? By valuing working life in terms of sustainability, we add a new perspective of forward thinking and inclusiveness which concerns people. Sustainability puts work in a context which challenges traditional solutions and players, and it mobilises fresh thinking. This is one conclusion from a report written by professor Bjørg Aase Sørensen and Christin Thea Wathne at the Norwegian Work Research Institute.

Influential shadow people colour the political agenda

Today’s Swedish government minister is on average surrounded by eight to ten so-called policy professionals.
