24The publication has undergone a peer review.The open access publication of this volume has received part funding via a Jane and Aatos Erkko Foundation grant. It took seven years to complete this book, and it is hardly possible to thank all the people who have contributed to the process. I made the move from the comparative study of eighteenth-century political cultures to transnational research on early twentieth-century politics in spring 2010 during a research stay in Uppsala at the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Studies whose fellows and Director Björn Wittrock were highly supportive of the idea. e intention was to complete research at the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies in spring 2012, and colleagues there and especially Director Jörn Leonhard were equally supportive of my work, but this study turned out to be much more extensive and demanding than foreseen so that I had to go on writing parallel with my position as a professor of comparative European history at the University of Jyväskylä. e teams of two Academy of Finland projects on parliamentary means of con ict resolution and supra-and transnational foreign policy as well as the research group on the comparative study of political cultures have supported my work and so have several colleagues at the Departments of History and Ethnology, Applied Language Studies and Social Sciences and Philosophy. Unable to name everyone I would like to thank especially research assistants Ville Häkkinen, Emilia Lakka, Lauri Niemistö, Jukka Nissinen and Adrian Steinert as well as my language copy-editor Gerard McAlester. e Department of History and Ethnology, the Academy of Finland Project 'Supra-and Transnational Foreign Policy versus National Parliamentary Government, 1914 and the Faculty of Humanities (led by Minna-Riitta Luukka) funded copy-editing, and Finnland-Institut in Berlin (led by Laura Hirvi) provided a site for proof-reading. I would also like to thank Pertti Ahonen, Stuart Ball, Tapio e reform debates of the revolutionary era 1917-19 in inter-and transnational comparisonse First World War was a transnational tragedy the e ects of which crossed boundaries and led to the questioning of established truths. is unprecedented tragedy, which made peoples su er without the prevailing political systems responding to their views, also provided an unexpected impetus for reforms that extended democratic su rage and increased the parliamentary responsibility of governments.e total war, consequent revolutions in Russia and Germany, su rage reforms, declarations of independence and modi cations of constitutions a ected and were a ected by changing understandings of 'democracy' , the political role of 'the people' and 'parliamentarism' . ese terms and related concepts became objects of constant debate, rede nition and contestation within, and at times between, European political cultures as part of constitutional and political struggles.e dynamics of the discursive processes related to the transformation catalysed by the war is the subject of this book.Unlik...
