Having a strong autonomy is about being able to fully govern yourself. In the case of the Åland Islands and its autonomy, this is not the case. Although Åland received its autonomy over a hundred years ago, little progress has been made towards “being as fully sovereign as possible without being independent” which was agreed upon by Finland, Sweden and the League of Nations in 1921. This study aims to identify and analyse the strategies Åland have used in recent years in its attempt to protect and strengthen its autonomy. I have done this by interviewing political actors from all corners of the political landscape on Åland, from prime ministers to political party leaders and others, to hear how they personally have been involved – or what they know on the subject.
