In the Periphery of the Russian Empire - Democratization in the Grand Duchy of Finland
Juho Korhonen, IHC - NOVA FCSH / IN2PAST
Resumo: As a result of the 1905 revolution, the Grand Duchy of Finland embarked upon the creation of the first state in the world to become democratic in the modern sense of the meaning. Through democratization in a peripheral and non-sovereign state of the Russian Empire, this case provided a conundrum to imperial politics of the era and today challenges mainstream narratives of democracy's origins.
Biografia: Juho Korhonen is a historical sociologist who has published on imperial transformations of the early 20th century, on post-socialist politics, as well as on the politics of history related to those issues. Juho completed his PhD at Brown University with a dissertation titled Empire, Democracy, State, and Nation: Sociological Occlusions of the German and Russian Empires.
