Global health – a change of perception. The role of health in the post-2015 development agenda.

Health has been a recurring topic on the development agenda during the recent decades. During the 1980ies and 1990ies there was a great focus on the impact of infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis. In 2001 these three diseases were included in the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) alongside with the health goals of reducing maternal and child mortality until 2015. As

The China Financial Model: China Development Bank, Politics, and China’s Global Financial Power

Political analyses of the reform period China are plentiful, and for each analysis, there seems to be another version of a “China Model” or “Beijing Consensus” for economic and social development. This paper argues that these vague conceptualizations need to be rooted in empirical observations; they need to be products of induction rather than deductive processes that reiterate the preconceptions

Assessing parameter variability in a photosynthesis model within and between plant functional types using global Fluxnet eddy covariance data

The vegetation component in climate models has advanced since the late 1960s from a uniform prescription of surface parameters to plant functional types (PFTs) PFTs are used in global land-surface models to provide parameter values for every model grid cell With a simple photosynthesis model we derive parameters for all site years within the Fluxnet eddy covariance data set We compare the model pa

Environmental Citizenship and Electric Vehicles - A Case Study of Norway and Denmark

This thesis focuses on the sale of electric vehicles (EVs) in Denmark and Norway in an attempt to gain insights into what stimulates and maintains pro-environmental behaviour. Norway stands out as an exceptional case with a significantly better marketshare of EVs than anywhere else in the world. In an attempt to shed more light on what causes these results, the study applies the theoretical framew

The reasoned Samaritan: a study on the Swedish government’s reasons behind the restrictive shift in refugee policy in 2015

This thesis is concerned with understanding the restrictive shift in refugee policy that occurred in Sweden during the fall of 2015. Several European states decided to deny entry to refugees, which led to a vast immigration in Sweden. The high quantity of asylum seekers resulted in Sweden adopting restrictive measures in order to limit the immigration rate and regain order and stability in the cou

The Case of Ebola in West Africa - Swedish Healthcare Workers' Experiences of Navigating Global Health Interventions

In this time of global health interventions, preventing borderless diseases, such as Ebola, is a question of implementing global health policies in different cultural contexts. Although these interventions are mediated by international organs, the healthcare workers on the ground are actually those who implement policies. From this starting point, this thesis investigates the extent to which Swedi

Success at last for a Radical Right-Wing Party in Sweden?: A case study of voter support for the Sweden Democrats in the city of Malmo

This paper consists of a case study of the recent relative success of the populist radical right-wing party, the Sweden Democrats, in the municipality of Malmo in the southern region of Scania in Sweden. Seven explanatory factors behind radical right-wing party success in Western Europe were selected to be analyzed as they applied to this case. The chosen economic explanatory factors were; post-in

A response to an ‘outbreak’: a comparative study of Belarusian and Swedish state discourses on irregular migration

In the light of migration’s popularity as a subject of public and academic interest, this thesis aspires to explore the ways in which contemporary articulation of migration in two politically contrasting settings occurs. Comparative approach not only allows to obtain a more holistic perspective on migration perceived through the prism of regularity but also to identify similarities across the case

A global assessment of the species composition and effectiveness of watermelon pollinators and the management strategies to inform effective pollination service delivery

For most food crops the identity and efficiency of pollinators across key growing regions remains a significant knowledge gap that needs to be addressed before we can develop crop-specific approaches for pollination service delivery. Here, we conducted a systematic literature review and meta-analysis on watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb. Matsum. & Nakai)), a globally important fruit crop, t
