Politiikan tutkijoiden sukupolvet

Abstract

Two features characteristic of Finnish political research are division into territories and lack of such a scientific discussion which would draw its contents from theory. The outlook of the research of the discipline is not, however, necessarily gloomy. The tendency of the middle-aged researchers’ generation to redefine their attitude to social practice is opening new scientific possibilities. To be able to secure the continuity of their development, young researchers should scientifically and mentally withdraw from the contemporary division into territories.
