Since mid-2000s, a great emphasis of the global development agenda is directed toward women and their participation in society, especially as wageworkers and political actors.

One of the toughest challenges for the international community is to justify military interventions in sovereign states. Echoing in terms of post-colonialism, underlying interest and power domination, military interventions must be argued for and legitimized in order to gain support from both public and institutional opinion. This is even more essential in our modern era with its rapid and unimped

Aktieägaravtal är mycket vanligt förekommande i svenska privata aktiebolag. Avtalsformen är sprungen ur det praktiska rättslivet och saknar legaldefinition. Avtalen ger aktieägare möjlighet att värna om ägarintressen som avviker från ABLs värdemonistiska syn på aktiebolag som kapitalassociationer med rent vinstmaximeringssyfte. Det utbredda användandet av aktieägaravtal blottlägger den diskrepans Shareholder agreements are commonly used in Swedish limited companies. This is a type of contract that has evolved without any involvement from the legislator, and therefore lacks a legal definition. The contracts allow for the protection of shareholders' interests when they deviate from the monistic notion of the Swedish Companies Act, which states that limited companies are pure capitalist f

In a globalised world dominated by market-led growth, a rolled back state and a powerful business sector, production networks have become increasingly complex. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) evolved as a mainly business-driven response to civil society actors’ call for more ethical business practices that care for people and environment. As such, the business sector has successfully come be
The purpose of this paper is to shed light on the relation between resilience as a discourse and governmentality. Drawing on theory by Foucault, a comparison and application of liberal governmentality will be made with contemporary resilience policy. The DFID, a global leader in resilience-building, will serve as a case to show in what ways power-relations are embedded within the organisation’s di

Denna uppsats analyserar det komplexa rättsläget i situationer när principen om effektivt rättsskydd, som är en allmän princip inom EU-rätten, påverkar medlemsstaternas nationella processautonomi.
