The idea of the institute was to provide state authorities with actionable knowledge on the interconnections between the everyday health behavior of Finns and the major national diseases affecting a population's capabilities to enhance national development in a geopolitically sensitive environment (Kivelä 2017).…”

This paper first discusses some of the basic spatial features of the COVID-19 crisis in Finland. Second, it considers the role of the state and state power in response to the pandemic and explores some of the geopolitical aspects of COVID-19 in the Finnish context. Finally, it argues that the politics of the COVID-19 pandemic highlights the role of health care as a crucial constituent of state power. The COVID-19 crisis has not only made state power more clearly visible, but has also revealed some of the ways in which the "extra-economic" occupies a central position in maintaining both economic and societal order.

As this work shows, the simple act of imagining the territory of the state as a coherent whole requires forms of knowledge that constitute it as a delimited 'unit' or block of space.…”
