For the definition of the very concept of power, we chose to approach the question through the
impact of exercising power on the interests of different social groups. In other words, we try to
specify how different social groups have been affected by societal decision-making within different
economic governance systems during the past decades. As a matter of summary, we try to specify
the characteristic features of different periods in recent Finnish history from this point of view to
shed light on the question “where power lies” in the Finnish society.
