Vatten och dess påverkan på den internationella arenan tar i denna studie plats genom att undersöka vattenregimers spillover-effekt till demokrati.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine how Sweden Democrats depicts the woman and analyzes if they use the woman to legitimize their policies. I do this by reconstructing the dominant narrative while striving to analyze how they legitimize the image of her and if they use her to legitimize their policies. The material that I use is the Sweden Democrats 'Principles Program (2011), the Swedish

Since independence, Georgia’s political trajectory of democratic development has become all the more aimed towards integration with the EU and further disassociation from the Soviet past and Russia. By the engagements facilitated through the EU’s Eastern Partnership and the Association Agreement, the narrative of Georgian national identity as fundamentally European is seen as an all-encompassing c

This essay examines why municipalities choose to work with daily occupations for adult asylum seekers, when the responsibility lies upon another institution, Länsstyrelsen. The aim is to find out for what reasons they work with daily occupations for asylum seekers. In approaching this research Lennart Lundquist’s implementation theory was used. According to the theory the civil servants must have

This thesis seeks to increase the scholarly understanding of coalitions in working-groups in the Council of Ministers. In contrast to most of the literature on coalitions in the Council, this thesis is not concerned with which coalitions that will be formed. Instead, the focus is on intra-coalition cooperation, a topic that remains largely unexplored. More specifically, this thesis begins by inves

Kärlekskoden och Gift vid första ögonkastet är två samtida tv-produktioner som har gemensamt i att de porträtterar kärlek och relationer i en vetenskaplig kontext. Programmen undersöker möjligheten att matcha ihop par med vetenskapens hjälp. Den här uppsatsen undersöker förhållandet mellan rationalitet och känsla i de två tv-produktionerna. Med hjälp av en kvalitativ innehållsanalys studeras hur K

In this thesis, the relationship between bureaucratic structures and efficiency is evaluated through a case study of the Swedish Police Authority. The collected material consists of semi-structured interviews with police officers from four different stations located in Region Syd. A theoretical framework that posits that there exist two types of bureaucratic structures, enabling and coercive, and

A small yet substantial share of Swedish municipalities have chosen to engage in development aid projects. While examining the incentives behind local authorities’ engagement in non-compulsory projects, this study contributes to the broader research on public policy and organizational theory, as it investigates how reforms are initiated, adopted and spread. The research process consists of three

Aeromobility and sustainability are current political issues which given available technology today are incompatible. This study aims to through a discourse analysis critically examine how Karlstad Airport as an example of this is constructed as a political matter. Drawing on Maarten Hajers social-interactive discourse analysis, which is operationalised using Carol Bacchis analytical framework the

Morphology, structure and chemistry have been investigated for 17 different commercial graphenegrades,all labeled as different kinds of graphene powder. For objectivity reasons, all powders have been given names as Graphene A-Q instead of their real product names. Out of the 17 tested powders, only Graphene A and B showed consistent results of being graphene-like. All powders have been characteriz

Even though neutrality historically has been discussed in the parliament for at least some occasions it does seem as if the actual discussion about NATO membership just after the cold war has emerged in its extent since then. To explore more about in which manners Swedish parties have discussed the issue in the parliament, in foreign policy debates to be more detailed, four Swedish parties are inv

The conclusion in this study illustrates an understanding of the democracy in Colombia, a country that name itself as a functional democracy, when the reality through empirical results tells us something else. The purpose in this study is to problematize the phenomenon of democracy in Colombia. Colombia is situated in Latin America and is a country followed by war, conflict and uncertainty since 5

Citizenship is subject of much debate in democratic societies. This can be explained by the fact that the school systems contribute to the reproduction of the political system through the education of good, democratic citizens. Sweden has gone through major ideological change in the past 30 years, the social democratic welfare state has been influenced by neo-liberal ideas regarding government. Th

For quite some time multiple variables measuring academic performance in Swedish elementary schools have shown that boys’ achievements have dropped in relation to girls’. Most previous scholars who have studied this phenomenon have had an actor-focused approach. Therefore there is a lack of studies that have analysed how and if structures could contribute with explanations as well as understanding

In the autumn of 2015, border and identity controls were introduced at the Swedish border in order to control, and to some extent, also reduce the refugee flows to Sweden. This could be seen as a contrast to the Swedish identity characterized by solidarity and generosity in the national, as well as the international context. This paper aims to investigate the political discourse regarding the intr

Ersättning enligt entreprenadavtal utgår i huvudsak som fast ersättning eller enligt löpande räkning. Enligt svensk rätt är entreprenadavtal inte lagreglerade utan istället tillämpas standardavtal. Standardavtalet AB 04 reglerar ersättning enligt löpande räkning genom självkostnadsprincipen som anges i AB 04 kap. 6 § 9-10. Enligt självkostnadsprincipen utgår ersättning enligt en av AB 04 kap. 6 §Construction Contracts are not regulated by Swedish law. Instead, the construction industry uses standard agreements. Construction Contracts usually state that compensation shall be paid as a fixed award or performed on an open account basis. The Swedish standard agreement AB 04 regulates compensation performed on an open account basis in AB 04 chapter 6 paragraphs 9-10. AB 04 chapter 6 paragraph

Ukraine experienced two great events of change in 2013-2014: the Euromaidan revolution and the Russian annexation of Crimea. Throughout this time, the European Union sought a deeper association with Ukraine built on the fundamental European principles of democracy, rule of law, social justice and human rights. The purpose of this thesis is twofold. Firstly, it will examine the continuity and chang

Denna uppsats undersöker hur väl papperslösa barns rätt till utbildning uppfylls i praktiken med utgångspunkt i Malmö stad och om medborgarskapet har någon inverkan för dess uppfyllande. För att få svar på dessa frågor har fyra olika grundskolor inom Malmö stad samt Anders Rubin, kommunalråd med beredningsansvar för skola och utbildning blivit intervjuade.

I den här undersökningen har en kritisk diskursanalys gjorts på svenska medias nyhetsartiklar kring hedersmord. Utifrån ett intersektionellt feministiskt perspektiv har jag använt mig av Teun A. van Dijks kritiska diskursanalys med fokus på framställningen av manliga och kvinnliga hedersmordsoffer. Genom en avgränsning på primärmaterial från 2002–2017 har jag granskat den mediala diskursens använd

För 27 år sedan skedde ett mord vars efterdyningar märks av och är ett ständigt diskussionsämne än idag. Den mediala reaktionen när en 89-årig man mördades i sitt egna hem med sin egen stekpanna lät inte vänta på sig när de enda två som befunnit sig på platsen vid tiden för mordet frikändes. Begreppet Lindomeproblematiken myntades och är idag synonymt med situationer där de tilltalade skyller på v27 years ago, a murder took place in a small Swedish town. The aftermath of the murder is still today a constant topic of discussion. The public was outraged when an 89-year-old man was murdered in his own home with his own frying pan and the only two who were at the scene of the crime were released and the charges were dropped. The term “Lindomeproblematiken” was coined and is still today synonym
