| Popis: | The article examines the process and consequences of the integration of the Aland Islands into the European Community. The author considers the special position of the Aland Islands in the Finnish and international law as well as the ever-growing demand to respond to the process of globalisation and Europeanisation. Its legal position and adopted model of autonomy is unique as it is an example of an arrangement through which a territorial conflict between two states, namely Sweden and Finland, was settled in a peaceful way. Additionally, its status is connected with the idea of demilitarisation and neutralisation of the archipelago. In the article much attention is paid to the stages of the integration process as well as the adoption of the Aland Protocol. The author describes the peculiarities of the negotiation objectives, the role of Finland in the accession of the autonomy and the structure and the main content of the Aland Protocol. The autonomy strengthen its position in the international area but also gained additional guarantees for its demilitaralised and neutralised status. However the inhabitants of the Aland Islands would still expect the Finnish to allow them to have their own representative in the European Parliament. |
