TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored how women victims of post-separation stalking perceive the positions ascribed to them in the help-seeking process by social workers and other professionals.
Abstract: The study explores how women victims of post-separation stalking perceive the positions ascribed to them in the help-seeking process by social workers and other professionals. Applying positioning theory, the research identifies ‘critical’ positionings, namely, those hindering the women in seeking help. The ultimate aim of the inquiry is to inform professional practices by identifying how professionals position victims of stalking and the risks of misinterpretation this process entails. The data comprise narratives of 15 Finnish female victims of stalking, who were interviewed either individually or together with a professional (social worker, shelter worker or therapist) who had worked with them. A total of five such professionals participated in conducting the interviews. The analysis of the women’s perceptions posits four critical positionings: Professionals viewed them as (1) alienating parents, (2) unprotective mothers, (3) overcautious women and/or (4) implausible victims. These determinations are s...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze what has been achieved in the Arctic cooperation process -now functioning as the Arctic Council - as regards protected areas in the region and discuss the possible ways forward.
Abstract: This article analyzes what has been achieved in the Arctic cooperation process - now functioning as the Arctic Council - as regards protected areas in the region. Specifically, the research examines how the work in two of the working groups of the Arctic Council has evolved - the Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF) and the Protection of the Arctic Marine Environment (PAME). Of particular interest here is CAFF’s Circumpolar Protected Area Network (CPAN), which is designed to coordinate the protected area policies of the Arctic states in their Arctic regions. The main goal of the article is to examine what kinds of functions CPAN is meant to achieve and to discuss whether the project has met its goals. An additional focus is the most recent development in the Arctic Council in the field of marine protected areas (MPAs), which were adopted as one priority action for another working group of the Council, the Protection of the Arctic Marine Environment. All of the developments discussed are evaluated by first identifying the trajectories of protected area activities in the Arctic Council and then discussing the possible ways forward. One salient consideration here is whether normative platforms other than the Arctic Council are better equipped to promote the work on protected areas in the Arctic and what type of policy focus for protected areas could be assumed in the Council.
