2005: 1905 – The Beginning of Radical Change

The allocated funding in 2005 was directed to interdisciplinary research to study the effects of the major social and political changes that took place in 1905.

Kone Foundation offered funding for interdisciplinary research projects in the humanities and social sciences to study the effects of the major social and political changes that took place in 1905. Among other possible themes for the research project were the following: are major socio-political transitions the extraordinary culminations of collective action, or are they the normal state of political development?; the concept and practice of voting; women and politics; political rhetoric; and administrative language and its possible crisis.
