Legal issues related to water supply systems are closely connected to democracy, fundamental rights, and public decision-making.
Should the right to water be included in the Finnish Constitution? And how might this affect issues such as water availability and pricing? These questions are explored in a research project at the University of Lapland, featured in a newly released video.
In the video, Associate Professor of European and Constitutional Law Tomi Tuominen discusses the societal relevance of the research and presents his own work, which examines democracy at the intersection of law and politics.
The research forms part of the legal subproject of the WaterFall project at the University of Lapland. The subproject is led by Professor of Public Economic Law Kirsi-Maria Magga. Other members of the research team include Postdoctoral Researcher Tapio Koivula and University Researcher Beata Mäihäniemi.
The video was produced by the University of Lapland Communications Services, with Ville Rinne and Sari Väyrynen.
