Abstract
This article analyzes the normative tensions underlying the development of constitutional review in one of the Nordic countries, Finland. Aside from showing that a weak-form theory is applicable to the current mode of Finnish constitutionalism, it also submits that idiosyncrasies of the Finnish model of constitutional review can significantly contribute to the topical discussion about pluralist forms of constitutional review.
