Four researchers participate in the project: Sia Spiliopoulou \u00c5kermark (docent and leader of the project), Pirjo Kleemola-Juntunen (jur. dr., post-doc), Timo Koivurova (research professor, director at the Northern Institute for Environmental and Minority Law and acting director of the Arctic Center), researcher Saila Heinikoski (PhD candidate, international relations), as well as research assistant Filip Holiencin (international law). <\/p>\n<p>The research will study the demilitarization from the vantage point of international law. The main questions are how the demilitarisation and neutralisation regime of the \u00c5land Islands is affected by the development of modern technology and by the proliferating and varying modes of military-civilian cooperation in the Baltic Sea. The project will also make comparisons between the \u00c5land Islands and other demilitarised regions, for example Svalbard.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 There is a great need for updated research on demilitarisation. I am very pleased that we have been granted support from a Finnish foundation, in high competition with other projects, and in cooperation with one of Finland\u2019s most prominent institutions, the Northern Institute for Environmental and Minority Law in Rovaniemi. KONE supports \u201cbold projects\u201d, and their decision is yet another confirmation that our research is of high quality and internationally relevant, says \u00c5IPI director Sia Spiliopoulou \u00c5kermark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-18623\" style=\"margin: 5px; float: left;\" src=\"https:\/\/peace.ax\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Kones_hemsida.jpg\" alt=\"Kones hemsida\" height=\"190\" width=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/peace.ax\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Kones_hemsida.jpg 1015w, https:\/\/peace.ax\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Kones_hemsida-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/peace.ax\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Kones_hemsida-768x487.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>The director of The \u00c5land Isands Peace Institute (\u00c5IPI), Associate Professor Sia Spiliopoulou \u00c5kermark, has been granted a research stipend from the private Finnish foundation <a href=\"http:\/\/www.koneensaatio.fi\/en\/bold-initiatives\/tuetut\/2014-2\/project-grants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KONE<\/a> for the project \u201cDemilitarisation in an increasingly militarized world.
