Finnish Industry
For centuries, Finnish industry had relied on the country's vast forests.
This can be explained if we take into consideration the fact that about 70 per cent of Finland is forest-covered. Though, the new economical and social circumstances created by globalization lead to a decline of more traditional industries. Therefore, from the 1990s Finnish industry became dominated to a larger extent by electronics and services, focusing to a greater extent on R&D and hi-tech electronics.

The Renewal of Nuclear Power in Finland (Energy, Climate and the Environment), by Matti Kojo, Tapio Litmanen
At the beginning of the new millennium Finnish authorities had to take a serious energy policy. They had to allow the construction of a new nuclear power plant. Finally, in 2002 Finnish Parliament decided to permit further construction of nuclear power after decades of long societal struggle. This book is trying to delineate the major phases of the decision-making process that finally resulted in the construction of the nuclear pland. It is an excellent guide to understanding energy and climate policy in Finland and thus the main ideas behind the renewal of nuclear power in Europe.

The Development of the Finnish Banking Industry: Partnership Perspective, by Ilkka Lahteenmaki
Banks have traditionally played a key role in the financial system by acting as intermediaries between the ultimate savers and borrowers.
Nowadays, the banking sector is globally in a serious crisis. In Finland, the banking sector suffered a serious crisis in the beginning of 1990's.
There are several issues in the Finnish banking crisis and in the development of the industry after the crisis that we can learn and study for the current financial situation. This book is trying to delineate these by describing the development of the banking industry in Finland since 1986.
