Biography




Research

I am currently writing my doctoral thesis on the justifications of Finnish political actors, export companies and Christian missionary societies' regarding relations with Southern African states in the latter part of the 1980s. The primary aim of this research is to examine why the relations towards Africa were promoted and what were the reasons for doing so. Additionally, the research examines how national and international changes influenced on these premises.
