Books from the Finnish Political Science Association (1983-2014)

The Finnish Political Science Association has published a book series in English from 1983 until 2014. Through book exchange programmes and simple sharing of work in conferences by the Finnish scholars it made available Finnish scholarship. The series was established by Ilkka Heiskanen, professor in Political Science in Helsinki. In 2018, the Association decided to renew it under the title Pro et Contra. Books from the Finnish Political Science Association. The following books were published in the English-language book series Books from the Finnish Political Science Association, and digitized in the 2010s with funding from Finnish Association for Scholarly Publishing, we seek to republish them online in OA format in the 2020s.
