The project “Demilitarisation in an increasingly militarised world. International perspectives from a multilevel regulatory framework – the case of the Åland Islands” was conducted in 2015-2018 with support from the Kone foundation.
The project was a cooperation between the Åland Islands Peace Institute and the University of Lapland and its Arctic Centre in Rovaniemi, Finland. Four researchers were involved in this project led by Sia Spiliopoulou Åkermark, PhD in international law and director of the Peace Institute. The other researchers in the project were Pirjo Kleemola-Juntunen, JD, Timo Koivurova, research professor and director of the Arctic Centre in Rovaniemi, doctoral candidate and junior researcher Saila Heinikoski, together with Yannick Poullie and Filip Holiençin as research assistants.
At the end of the project an international symposium was held on October 2018 in Mariehamn and the book “Demilitarisation and International Law in Context – The Åland Islands” was published by Routledge publishers.
The book is available for purchase here.
