Henrik Meinander paints a brisk and bold picture of the history of
Finland from integrated part of the Swedish kingdom to autonomous
Grand Duchy within the Russian empire, gradually transformed and
maturing into a conscious nation, independent state and skilful
adapter of modern technology. The main geographical context for his
study is the Baltic region, and the author links his analysis to
structural developments and turning points in European history. The
book blends politics, economy and culture to show how human and
natural resources in Finland have been utilized and the impact its
cultural heritage and technological innovation have had on its
development. In a departure from most conventional approaches,
Meinander gives greater emphasis to recent and contemporary events.
In other words, he puts Finland into a range of historical contexts
in its Baltic and European settings to highlight how both together
have formed Finland into what it is at the beginning of the
twenty-first century.
