This development has been intertwined with public discourses on ‘integration’ of those Europeans who once migrated to th

I sin teori om prekariatet ger Guy Standing sin syn på den rådande arbetsmarknaden där fler och fler människor lever under osäkra arbetsförhållanden. Enligt honom är det konsekvenserna av en politik som har sett rörlighet på marknaden som svaret på ekonomiska problem. Vid problem har politikerna försvagat de kollektiva organisationerna och försämrat anställningstrygghet med mera för arbetstagarna.In his theory of the precariat Guy Standing gives his view on the current labour market where more and more people has precarious working situations.

For the dairy industry, double emulsions could be used to produce a product with a lower fat content which maintain the same properties as regular whipping cream. The purpose of this project was to obtain a stable Water-in-Oil (W/O) emulsion with butter oil with a small mea

De nationella domstolarna intar en central roll i den Europeiska unionens judiciella system men är inte helt fria att på egen hand bedöma unionsrättsliga frågor. I denna uppsats undersöks hur utrymmet för nationella domstolar till självständiga unionsrättsliga bedömningar begränsas av den skyldighet att begära förhandsavgörande som kan följa av artikel 267 i Fördraget om Europeiska unionens funktiNational courts occupy a central role in the judicial system of the European Union, but they are not completely free to apply Union law independently. This paper examines the extent to which the national courts are limited by an obligation to request a preliminary ruling under Article 267 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, when it comes to assessing questions of EU law indepen

The European Court of Justice has repeatedly held that it is contrary to EU-law to charge withholding tax on cross-border dividend payments when comparable, domestic transactions are not taxed at the corresponding burden. Therefore, the question of withholding taxes compatibility with EU-law has been the topic of extensive legal literature over many years. However it seems that this is a non-stopp

International human rights law and international humanitarian law are traditionally two distinct branches of law, one dealing with the protection of individuals, the other with the conduct of parties to an armed conflict. There is today a recognition that international human rights law is applicable in situations of armed conflict, in parallel with international humanitarian law. The aim of this M

Sedan det europeiska projektets tidiga dagar har de underliggande ekonomiska motiven för integrationen konfronterats med allmänna intressen såsom oro för miljön. Denna spänning har varit påtaglig, i synnerhet förhållandet mellan nationella åtgärder som syftar till att skydda miljön och allmänna bestämmelser som reglerar EU:s inre marknad. Med tiden har miljöskydd och hållbar utveckling blivit inteSince the early days of the European project the economic rationale of integration has been confronted by public interests such as concerns for the environment. This tension has been tangible particularly in the relationship between national measures aimed at protecting the environment and the general rules governing the internal market. Over time environmental protection and sustainability have b

The aim of this master’s thesis is to examine the registrar’s role within the organization, their relation to the archival profession and their professional status.

Historically, agriculture has played a significant role in enhancing the economic base of rural areas in most developing countries. However, the rural nonfarm economy, previously neglected by policy makers, is currently receiving more attention as it is thought to be a potential alternative to agriculture in lifting the rural poor out of poverty. This case study is centred on the resettled commun

Vid ett klyvningsförfarande är tanken att all ingående mark ska värderas i någon omfattning för att sedan fördelas mellan delägarna enligt deras respektive andel. Det har observerats exempel på värderingar som inte alltid gjorts enligt lag med en graderingsvärdering, det vill säga en värdering med mark i obebyggt skick och skog av normal karaktär, utan att denna istället gjorts efter en likvidvärdDuring a property partition the idea is that all land should be appraised to some extent, so that it can later be distributed among the co-owners according to their respective share. In a few examples of appraisals used by the National Land Survey there has been signs of irregularities in the application of grading appraisals. In some of these cases land has been appraised including buildings and

Sammanfattning Instansordningsprincipen är en förvaltningsrättslig princip som huvudsakligen medför att parterna i ett förvaltningsmål är förhindrade att tillföra nytt processmaterial i högre instanser. Principen är, emellertid, inte uttryckligen lagstadgad i Förvaltningsprocesslagen (1971:291), FPL. Istället är det upp till förvaltningsdomstolarna att tolka de uttalande som finns i förarbetena tiSummary The principle of the court hierachy is a principle within administrative law whose intention is to prevent the parties to add new case material in the higher instances.

The United Nations Security Council is the only body that can make a decision to conduct a humanitarian intervention, still we have witnessed genocide in both Rwanda and recently Syria.

Water resources management has been reconfigured over time and space; as power over decision-making processes has increasingly been vested from the state and distributed among networks of private and non-governmental actors. Geographical scholarships of environmental governance seek to critically analyse this transformation in order to grasp how decisions are made, and the consequences that entail
