内容説明
Where Finland and Japan intersect, new possibilities for well-being emerge.
This book is the outcome of an interdisciplinary collaboration born from an international research network linking Japanese scholars―whose work was deeply shaped by a major disaster―and Finnish researchers engaged in child and family welfare and gender equality.
While Finland strives to uphold its welfare traditions amid the tides of neoliberalism, Japan continues to confront the challenges of post Great East Japan Earthquake recovery and persistent gender inequities. Centering on the empowerment of children, youth, and women, contributors weave together theoretical discussions from social welfare, early childhood education, family support, and gender equality with community-based practices and case studies.
By bridging the experiences of two societies with distinct historical and cultural contexts, the book brings into focus diverse approaches to sustainable community-building and cultural transformation. In a time when the environments surrounding children and women are undergoing rapid change, it asks: What do we mean by well-being, and how can we build a society that enables people’s capabilities to flourish? Drawing on academic rigor and practical insight, this forward-looking volume offers a new vantage point for thinking across cultures, localities, and institutions about the intertwined challenges at the nexus of welfare, education, and community.
フィンランドと日本――二つの社会が交差するところに生まれる新たなウェルビーイングの可能性を探る。
本書は、大規模災害の経験を経た日本の研究者と、子ども・家族福祉やジェンダー平等に取り組むフィンランドの研究者が結成した国際的な研究ネットワークから生まれた、学際的コラボレーションの成果である。福祉の伝統を維持しながら新自由主義の波に揺れるフィンランド、そして東日本大震災後の復興とジェンダー課題に向き合う日本。両国の研究者たちが、子ども・若者・女性のエンパワーメントを中心テーマに据え、社会福祉、幼児教育、家庭支援、ジェンダー平等といった多分野の理論的議論を地域の実践やケーススタディと結びつけて展開。
子どもや女性を取り巻く環境が大きく揺れ動く現在、持続可能なコミュニティ形成や社会の文化的変容に向けた多様なアプローチで、「ウェルビーイングとは何か」「どのようにして人々の力を引き出す社会をつくるのか」という問いに対し、学術的な深さと実践的な洞察を備えた、未来志向の提案を提示。福祉・教育・コミュニティの交差点にある課題を、文化・地域・制度を越えて考えるための新しい視座を提供する一冊。
