Multi-layered Historicity of the Present

This book celebrates Professor Pauli Kettunen on his sixtieth birthday. In Pauli Kettunen’s scholarship as well as in this collection, history meets social sciences in a manner that render distinctions between the two unnecessary. This book challenges simplistic views to history as ‘a background’ or ‘development’, opening up sophisticated perspectives to many up-to-date debates on, for instance, nationalism and globalization or the Nordic welfare models.
