Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda om det vid ansökan om asyl, då sexuell läggning åberopas som skyddsskäl, ställs ett för högt beviskrav på den asylsökande samt om Migrationsverkets och migrationsdomstolarnas tillämpning av reglerna är enhetlig, och om så inte är fallet, vilka skillnader som finns i tillämpningen. Jag har granskat tretton beslut och domar från Migrationsverket samt landets migratThe purpose of this essay is to examine whether the evidence requirements are to high for the asylum seeker in cases when sexual orientation is invoked as the reason for need of protection. Also, whether the application of the legislation by the first and second instances in Sweden is uniform, and if not, what differences there are. To attain the purpose, I have examined thirteen decisions of the

Tidigare studier har visat att många sjuksköterskor upplevde att steget från sjuksköterskestudent till sjuksköterska var stort. Syftet med studien var att belysa hur nyutexaminerade sjuksköterskor erfor sin första tid som sjuksköterska. Metoden som användes var kvalitativ innehållsanalys där nio nyutexaminerade sjuksköterskor intervjuades. Tre huvudkategorier framkom efter analys av intervjuerna:

The purpose of this paper is to explain why Egypt’s transition from authoritarianism has so-far failed, while Tunisia’s is still moving forward. By using relevant theories within the field of democratization and transitology, this study examines three crucial differences in the two cases, which explain the difference in their respective outcomes. These three underlying differences are in the two c

Abstract The purpose whit my thesis is to explain the Russian intervention and annexation of Crimea. My analyses will be in three parts: The international system, the state and the individual. My research question is: How can Russia’s action in Crimea be explained set to the three levels of analyses: The international system the state and the individual? My theories in the analyzes concluding th

This survey studies patterns of states which choose to make use of armed interventions for humanitarian reasons in relation to states that elect not to intervene. This is done by a statistical analysis of five interventions: Iraq 91, Somalia 92, Rwanda 94, East Timor 99 and Libya 11. The analysis is based on theories which intend to explain why states use violence as a po-litical mean. The study f

In this thesis I try to find out how multipolarity in space effects global security. My research question is as follows: What effects has the increasing amount of actors in space had on global security after the end of the cold war? Theories which I use to examine the effects are Kenneth Waltz perspective on the balance of power and Robert Jervis hypothesis on misperception. My hypothesis is that

The thesis is a discourse analyis on the view on left wing extremism. The premiss of the study is to investigate why we speak more about autonomous political groups to the left in terms of extremism than we did before. A Gramscian perspective uncovers the liberal hegemony in the discourse. The hegemony is discovered by using Foucaults view on how the power in a discourse is determined by what is e

I föreliggande studie undersöks nya former av icke demokratiska regimer med syftet att utveckla en ny modell. Fenomenet studeras kvalitativt och inkluderar Bolivia, Nicaragua och Venezuela. Tillsammans ska dessa med sina bakomliggande skillnader men gemensamma utfall stärka den nya modellen. Fallen redogörs för genom en beskrivande analys disponerad via hur icke demokratiska regimer konsoliderar sThe theme of this thesis is to investigate new forms of non-democratic regimes with the purpose to develop a new model. The phenomenon is investigated using a qualitative method that includes Bolivia, Nicaragua and Venezuela. Due to these countries’ different backgrounds but similar outcome, they will strengthen the new model. The cases are analysed through a descriptive analysis that is disposed

Energy crisis and energy disruptions have contributed to the current securitization and politicization of energy within the European Union (EU). Today the energy policy is a part of the EU external relations, at the same time as the EU is regarded as an actor with the power to spread values and norms in the international arena. The EU Eastern Partnership, and the Association Agreements initiated i

Organized crime and terrorism has become more transnational during the last decades. This has broadened and deepened our conception of security and who we think are supposed to provide this. As a result, international cooperation between law enforcement agencies and intelligence services has increased. Intelligence sharing has become more usual but it still has its flaws and it has been difficult

Having notoriously escaped the operation table to be cut open for a full intestine check-up, the anatomy of the acclaimed ‘troops for influence’- assumption finally faces a full body search. Although appearing to be somewhat of a tacitly accepted ‘truth’ both in the academic and political world, there is confusion as to how we might actually understand the assumption of ‘troops for influence’ and

One of the greatest achievements of the European Union (EU) is the abolition of internal borders and the establishment of the right to free movement. Consequently, the EU has made an effort managing its common external borders by establishing several internal mechanisms, instruments and bodies as well as various forms of cooperation with the associated Schengen countries and external third actors.

Since the financial crisis in 2008-2009 China has shown a new assertiveness internationally, contradicting Deng Xiaoping’s earlier strategies of China to lay low internationally and develop economically. This new assertiveness is an often-discussed subject and is often connected to the Chinese rise and a presumed pursuit of regional hegemony in South East Asia, rejected by Chinese officials. This

The 2009 Lisbon Treaty introduced the Early Warning Mechanism into the EU decision-making process. Under this mechanism, National Parliaments monitor the compliance of EU legislative proposals with the principle of subsidiarity by issuing yellow cards in cases of violation. It is argued that in doing so, they meet a collective action problem in form of an assurance problem, hence will only ineffec

Since the end of the Cold War, several stateless diasporas residing in Western countries have been involved in separatist conflicts in their homelands. The aim of this thesis is to explore whether these diasporas tend to utilize a universalistic creed of liberalism for particularistic purposes. To fulfill this purpose, I will test the applicability of Maria Koinova’s theory on how diasporas tend t

This thesis surrounds the emerging of the neoliberal hegemony in Sweden, and how to describe that emergence with the help of an analysis of ideas along with different types of analytic tools such as ideal types and the concept of hegemony. The research question to be answered is that how one can describe the emerging of the neoliberal hegemony in Sweden, which then naturally also makes this thesis

In 2014, a man was accused of raping a woman but was acquitted despite the fact that the woman said “no” and “stop”. He claimed to have thought that it was part of dominant sex games and by that, assumed she liked it. That the man was acquitted, even though the court ruling concluded that the woman had been forced to sexual intercourse, can be a result of a process of victim blaming; a process whe

The migration policy of the EU has often been described with the metaphor fortress Europe: militarized external borders to avoid safety threats, disguising the purpose to exclude poor and uneducated migrants. But what happen if the unwanted migrants the borders are supposed to prevent from reaching European territory are already European citizens? Recent years, poor EU-migrants begging for money i

Den europeiska unionen tampas med låg folklig legitimitet, och hävdar många politiska bedömare, ett demokratiskt underskott. I det förhandenvarande arbetet, som är av normativ karaktär, tar sig författaren an detta ämne utifrån ett deltagardemokratiskt perspektiv, vilket han polemiserar mot ett elitdemokratiskt. Dessa demokratimodellers relationer till republikanismen och liberalismen redogörs där

Since 2009 the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization have conducted counter-piracy operations in the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean to tackle Somalia based piracy. As the two organizations are arguably the most important security providers for Europe they have also moved towards managing the similar tasks in military and crisis management operations. As Brussels officials an
