Abstract or Introduction
Finland is unlike the fellow-Scandinavian neighbours, its people don't descend from the Germanic people but rather speak a language related to Estonia and some languages of Siberia. The country was a province and then a grand duchy in the time of hundreds of years under Swedish rule. After that in 1809 Russia takes over control for a further century before independence on 6 December 1917. The constitution was created in 1906. The finish government amended the constitution several times, last in 2011. Throughout the Cold War Finland's depended on the strong influence of the Soviet Union on its foreign and defence policy, a status dubbed "Finlandisation". But it successfully defended its independence through cooperation with Germany. The collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 90s allowed Finland to apply for membership of the EU. In culture, Finland has made particular mark in the fields of architecture and music.
Dieses Paper wurde verfasst, um den geschichtlichen, politischen und internationalen Hintergrund von Finnland zusammenzufassen, um im Anschluss innerhalb des Projekts als Vertreter Finnlands innerhalb der von den Studierenden modellarisch nachgestellten Europäischen Kommission zum Thema Asylpolitik zu diskutieren und abzustimmen. Das Ziel des Projekt war es, dass die Studierenden einen Einblick in das Policy Making der Europäischen Union bekommen und es sozusagen in einem Selbstversuch direkt miterleben. (Jeder Studierende hat ein Land der EU vertreten und hat im Kurs in dieser Rolle agiert)
