When administrations of customs procedures are heterogeneous, lack mutual cooperation and suffer from unnecessary complexity, they become non-tariff barriers to trade. The WCO International Convention on the Simplification and Harmonization of Customs procedures (Revised Kyoto Convention) serve as a blueprint for modern and efficient customs procedures, supplementary to the WTO negotiations on

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is of great interest to me for many reasons; particularly, I want to stress the Palestinian Christian’s position in the current situation. The Palestinian Christians belong to several denominations, of which I have chosen to focus on two minority churches: the Lutheran and the Anglican. My intention is to find if, and how, the situation affects the liturgy of these

This thesis discusses the potentials of application of the EU Trade Barriers Regulation (TBR) to EU-Russia trade relations. In light of the forthcoming and long-awaited Russia's WTO accession (expected to be completed in mid-2012), the theoretical analysis suggests that the TBR would become functional and useful for EU companies in tackling obstacles to trade on the Russian market. Also, this

Rätten till en rättvis rättegång enligt artikel 6 i den Europeiska konventionen om skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna (Europakonventionen) omfattar rätten att biträdas av en försvarare.

Climate change and limited natural resources are growing concerns that create both global and local challenges to societies and organizations. The Western World´s transportation system is dependent on oil, a limited natural resource that has a detrimental impact on the environment. To curb harmful impacts and maintain economic growth, alternative energy methods need to be incorporated into the tra

Israel Holmströms (1661-1708) vislyrik och "lätta" diktning analyseras mot bakgrund av den världsliga visdiktningen under barocken i Sverige med utblickar främst till tysk visdiktning. Mot bakgrund av den världsliga visans genrer studeras Holmströms visdiktning där även de språkliga drag som kännetecknar hans visor undersöks. Analysen fokuserar på vad som förenar och skiljer Holmströms d

This study investigates the implementation of the EU cohesion policy in a Swedish context. The EU cohesion policy aims to, through the Structural funds, diminish the economic and social differences between less-favoured and affluent regions in the EU. However, there has been a paradigm shift in Swedish politics; from income equalization and redistribution to the poorest regions, towards a greater

The Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) describes an inverted U-shaped relationship between per capita income and environmental degradation. In this paper this relationship will be analysed by using per capita GDP as proxy for per capita income, and per capita carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide as representatives for environmental degradation. Using cross-country time series data for ten global coun

Redan så tidigt som 1957 diskuterades frågan om fri rörlighet och hur man inom dåvarande EG kunde underlätta rörligheten för de fyra friheterna: personer, varor, kapital och tjänster. Till dags dato har EU rönt framgångar för tre av dessa fyra friheter, för tjänster är det dock fortsatt besvärligt. En process att undanröja de hinder som stod i vägen för tjänsters fria rörlighet inleddes av stats- As early as 1957 the issue of freedom of movement was discussed and how the EU could facilitate the movement of the four freedoms: people, good, capital and services. To date the EU has been successful for three of the four freedoms, however for services the situation remains difficult. A process to eliminate the obstacles that stood in the way of free movement of services was launched by heads of

During the second half of the 20th century, more possibilities of singing Psalms in the common Sunday service arose in Church of Sweden. The aim of this study is to see in what different ways the Psalms are usually sung and where they appear in the different worship books. I am interested in how this has changed over time, from the 1940s until today. A special focus is also on church musicians and

With over 60 years passed since Hannah Arendt wrote her influential The Origins of Totalitarianism, scholars and commentators on statelessness still refer to its chapter The Perplexities of the Rights of Man as a cornerstone in the relation between statelessness and human rights. After assessing the primary views presented by Arendt and contemporary writers on statelessness, this study uses a meth

Roma people have since their first stay in Sweden endured discrimination and violations due other people’s intolerance of their values, way of living and culture. Some of the most common concepts used to describe the Roma people are as a threat or a problem, as incompetent or incapable and as un-Swedish. These concepts were found in both studies of the Roma people and official governmental investi

Background: The current mass proliferation of information and communication technology (“ICT”) has created the ability to communicate with customers and manage energy production in unprecedented ways. With the arrival of “smart” energy meters and wireless communication, a new level of customer interaction is possible. In this scenario, a “smart grid” is created in which multiple energy meters are

This paper focuses on the distinction between the private and the public in relation to violence and sexual crimes against women in relationships and intimate relationships.

Concepts such as "family matter" and "family violence" has expressed that a certain
