Att thaimassagesalonger och dess verksamma aktörer uppfattas vara associerade till sexindustrin utgör en påtaglig stereotypisk föreställning som lyfts fram i olika studier. Media har, enligt tidigare forskning, påvisats vara en central och bidragande aktör till denna stereotypiska föreställning och berättigandet av sexhandeln. Därmed syftar studien till att undersöka hur thaimassagesalonger och de

As the interest in greenwashing as a strategy for marketing increases, monitoring institutions in Sweden have not failed to acknowledge the tendency of unwarranted and exaggerated statements that has left the impression of products or services without any legitimate support. Even as institutions have voiced their active engagement in tackling this problem, critique has been raised arguing that gre
The EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) is a cornerstone of the union’s strategy to mitigate climate change and innovation is integral to emissions reduction, as well as an aim of the policy. To study if the EU ETS is associated with increased innovation, the Swedish Pulp and Paper Industry (PPI) poses an interesting case. Not only is Sweden itself a leading innovator, but its PPI have rapidly reduc

Since the 1930s, a dance permit regulation has been in effect in Sweden. The dance permit is required for public dance events in Sweden, and police may take photographic evidence of patrons moving in sync with the music in a dance-like fashion if they believe that ‘illegal’ dancing has transpired in an establishment that may not have filed for a dance permit. If such is the case, then this evidenc
