Jordan has over the past two decades frequently been noted as a relatively progressive example in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region regarding women’s parliamentary representation. The introduction of gender quotas has increased the proportion of women in parliament, and is commonly perceived in international context as a progress of gender equality work. This paper examines the exte
Denna uppsats behandlar den svenska lagen (2023:560) om granskning av utländska direktinvesteringar (UDI-lagen) och dess definition av begreppet portföljinvestering. Särskilt analyseras lagens anmälningsskyldighet för portföljinvesteringar som motsvarar eller överstiger ett innehav om tio procent och hur denna reglering förhåller sig till den fria rörligheten för kapital enligt arti-kel 63 FEUF. UThis thesis examines the Swedish Act (2023:560) on the Screening of Foreign Direct Investments (the FDI Act) and its definition of the concept of portfolio investments in relation to the corresponding definition of portfolio investments under EU law. The thesis specifically analyzes the scope of the Act’s notification requirement as it applies to portfolio investments corresponding to or exceeding
This thesis examines whether, and in what ways, climate change is framed as a security issue in Swedish party politics. Using a qualitative discourse analysis, the study analyzes forty-eight party documents produced by all Swedish parliamentary parties between 2007 and 2022. The theoretical framework combines securitization theory and framing theory, drawing on Matt McDonald’s four climate securit
Uppsatsen behandlar hur Rysslands president Vladimir Putin legitimerar in-vasionen av Ukraina genom historiska narrativ i kontrast till non-interventionsprincipen. Med utgångspunkt i ett rättshistorisk perspektiv utförs en diskurshistorisk analys tillsammans med historiedidaktisk ansats för att undersöka hur dessa argument förhåller sig till non-interventionsprincipen. Analysen grundar sig på fyraThe thesis examines how the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, seeks to legitimize the invasion of Ukraine through historical narratives and legal arguments. By applying a legal-historical approach combined with discourse-historical analysis, the study investigates how these narratives and arguments relate to the principle of non-intervention in international law. The analysis is
Med en ökad användning av artificiell intelligens i olika samhällssektorer har det svenska rättsväsendet börjat implementera automatiserade lösningar och hjälpmedel i sin verksamhet: en maskningstjänst avsedd för anonymisering av sekretessbelagd information och en översättningstjänst till för att översätta domar. Den nationella rättsordning innehåller dock ingen lagstiftning som är specifikt anpasWith the increasing use of artificial intelligence across various sectors of society, the Swedish judiciary has begun implementing automated solutions and tools in its operations: a redaction service intended for anonymizing confidential information and a translation service used to translate judicial decisions. However, the national legal system does not contain legislation specifically tailored
Följande uppsats analyserar det straffrättsliga ansvaret vid olyckor orsakade av självkörande fordon. Dessa självkörande fordon styrs av avancerade artifi-ciella algoritmer som fattar autonoma beslut, vilket utmanar straffrättens grundläggande krav och principer. Bland annat blir maximet ”nulla poena sine culpa” (inget straff utan skuld) lidande när beslutsprocessen i gärningsögon-blicket saknar tThe following thesis analyzes criminal liability in accidents caused by self-driving vehicles. These autonomous vehicles are governed by advanced artifi-cial algorithms that make autonomous decisions, which challenges the funda-mental requirements and principles of criminal law. Among other things, the maxim "nulla poena sine culpa" (no punishment without guilt) suffers when the decision
Det är vedertaget i svensk rätt att avtal om framtida överlåtelse av fast egen- dom, såsom optionsavtal, är ogiltiga. En option är en rätt, men inte skyldighet, att i framtiden köpa eller sälja viss egendom. Även om det inte framgår explicit i lagtext eller förarbeten föreligger alltså i praktiken ett förbud mot option till fast egendom. Uppsatsens syfte är att granska huruvida det föreligger skälAgreements concerning future real estate transactions, such as option agree- ments, are invalid in the Swedish legal system. An option constitutes a right, but not an obligation, to buy or sell certain property in the future. There is a prohibition against option agreements to real estate, although it does not appear explicitly in the text of a law or the legislative history. The purpose of this t
I svensk straffrätt är alla medborgare föremål för åtal även om individen lider av en allvarlig psykisk störning. Åtalade som lider av en allvarlig psykisk störning kan få rättspsykiatrisk vård som påföljd. Rättspsykiatrisk vård är en tidsobestämd påföljd som inte kan kombineras med ett fängelsestraff. Vården kan förenas med en så kallad särskild utskrivningsprövning om det finns risk för att persIn Swedish penal law all defendants can be prosecuted even if they suffer from a serious mental disorder. These defendants can be sentenced to forensic psychiatric care for an indefinite time. In today’s system there are no possibilities to combine psychiatric care with prison as a penalty. The psychiatric care can be combined with a special discharge review that enables the convicted’s sentence t
This study examines the relationship between civil society engagement and party choice between the Social Democrats and the Sweden Democrats in the 2022 Swedish general election. Drawing on prior research on civil society, political participation and changes in the Swedish party system, the study adopts a mixed-methods design. The quantitative analysis uses data from the 2022 Swedish National SOM
This thesis explores the role of political leadership and ideology in shaping foreign policy, using Brazil under Jair Bolsonaro and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva as a comparative case. While Brazil’s structural position in the international system remained relatively stable, the country’s foreign policy orientation shifted significantly between the two administrations. Employing a comparative ideation
The Swedish energy transition presupposes a large-scale expansion of renewable electricity generation, in which wind power constitutes a central component. At the same time, the expansion of wind power exhibits significant local variation. This thesis analyses how physical conditions interact with municipal institutions and long-term policy processes in shaping local wind power policy, with a focu
Both Sweden and Belgium have introduced a liberalised school system, with private schools financed by the public sector. Since this is a relatively uncommon arrangement, our study investigates if public opinions of these systems are now similar in each country. The Belgian system was introduced to guarantee religious freedom in the provision of education, while its Swedish equivalent was promised
EU och dess medlemsstater samarbetar i allt högre utsträckning med tredjeländer för att kontrollera migrationen till Europa. Migrationspolitiska åtgärder genomförs utanför Europas territorium i syfte att begränsa migrationsströmmarna till Europa, något som ofta benämns som externalisering (eng: externalisation). Strategiska samarbeten sluts med ursprungs- och transitländer, där EU och medlemsstateThe EU and its Member States increasingly rely on migration cooperation with non-EU countries to manage migration flows to Europe. This involves implementing immigration policies beyond EU borders, a practice often referred to as externalisation. As part of this practice, the EU and its Member States conclude strategic partnerships with countries of origin and transit and provide financial and ope
In response to the environmental crisis and growing consumer awareness, increasing attention has been directed towards sustainable production models centred on circularity, resource efficiency, and reduced environmental impact. Against this background, practices such as upcycling, which aim to extend product lifespans and reduce waste, have gained increased attention. The European Union has artic
The thesis examines how United Nations child marriage prevention strategies are translated from global policy frameworks into local practice in post-2011 Syria. While global frameworks developed by UNFPA and UNICEF assume the existence of stable legal systems, functioning institutions and predictable social environments, the Syrian conflict has produced conditions that fundamentally alter how prev
I denna uppsats undersöks hur EU-arbetsrättens olika arbetstagarbegrepp definieras, vilken räckvidd de har samt hur dessa begrepp kan komma att utvecklas i framtiden. Arbetstagarbegreppen i både primärrätten och sekundärrätten undersöks. Undersökningen genomförs med den rättsdogmatiska metoden och den EU-rättsliga metoden. Artikel 45 FEUF var den första bestämmelsen med ett arbetstagarbegrepp i This thesis examines how the various concepts of ‘worker’ in EU labour law are defined, what their scopes are, and how these concepts may change in the future. The concepts of ‘worker’ in both primary and secondary law are examined. The examination is carried out using the legal dogmatic method and the EU legal method. Article 45 TFEU was the first regulation in the EU to contain a concept of ‘wo
Outbound foreign direct investments by developing economies has become an important subject in international business. However, much of the research has attempted to model firms entering foreign markets from emerging economies using the same models developed for advanced economies, which limits what can be inferred. This gap suggests that other approaches are needed. One such approach is analyzing
Syftet med uppsatsen är att bedöma användningen av EncroChat bevisning inför svensk rätt utifrån den naturrättsliga filosofen Andrew Dworkins teori om statlig integritet. Enligt Dworkin är det viktigt att stater konsekvent till-lämpar moraliska och rättsliga principer i deras rättssystem, då detta ger sta-ten en intern integritet som stärker tilliten mellan den enskilde och det all-männa. UppsatseThe purpose of the paper is to assess the use of EncroChat evidence before Swedish law based on the natural law philosopher Andrew Dworkin’s theo-ry of state integrity. According to Dworkin, it is important that states con-sistently apply moral and legal in their legal systems, as this gives the states an internal integrity that strengthens trust between the individual and the public. The paper ex
Mervärdesskatten är ett av de mest harmoniserade områdena inom EU-rätten. En central del av mervärdesskattesystemet är rätten till avdrag för ingående mervärdesskatt. Många företag bedriver blandad verksamhet som innebär att en del verksamheten är mervärdesskattepliktig, medan en annan del inte är det. Fastighetsägare och bostadsrättsföreningar kan bedriva frivilligt beskattad uthyrning av lokalerValue Added Tax (VAT) is one of the most harmonized areas of EU law. A central element of the VAT system is the right to deduct input VAT. Mixed economic businesses include both VAT liable and VAT exempt activities. Landlords can have voluntary taxation of rental properties alongside permanent residences which are exempt from VAT. In such businesses, costs are often shared between the different ac
Denna uppsats analyserar om den svenska regleringen av valfrihetssystem inom äldreomsorgen är förenlig med proportionalitetsprincipen i förvaltnings-rätten. Syftet är att bedöma balansen mellan äldres rätt till valmöjligheter och statens skyldighet att säkerställa en likvärdig standard för brukare och om-sorgspersonal. Analysen visar att valfrihetssystemet introducerar betydande rättsliga spän-ninThis thesis examines whether the Swedish regulation of choice systems in elderly care is compatible with the proportionality principle in administrative law. The purpose is to assess the balance between elderly persons' right to freedom of choice and the state's obligation to ensure equal standards. The analysis demonstrates that the choice system introduces significant legal tensions betw
