    A narrative battle: debating Finland's EU policy during the economic crisis
    in National Identities , vol. 19, n. 1, special issue "Dividing United Europe Stereotypes, prejudices and the European (economic) crisis" ,  2017 ,  11-31
    The economic crisis in Europe has resulted in an unprecedented narrative battle in the traditionally consensus-driven Finland. National stereotypes and prejudices have been employed to situate Finland on the shifting political and moral map of Europe with the North–South division taking an important role in the narrative battle. Using a narrative approach to policy debates and following Erik Ringmar's work, this article analyses how Finland's European role has been narratively constructed with romantic, tragic, and satirical interpretations featuring in the debate.
