In connection with the games a great debate occurred around the world: whether the games should be boycotted or not. The reasons for the boycott threat was because of the Chinese attitude towards human rights. By following the debate in the two bigger Swedish newspap

Abkhazia and Chechnya are both examples of de facto-states; that is they both function as independent states but they have no sovereignty as they are stil officialy parts of their parent states Georgia and Russia. They both fought and won wars of independence in the early 90s, but since then their trajectories have taken separate directions. Abkhazia still functions as a de facto-state while Chech
I dagens samhälle står ungdomarna inför flera problem i deras liv. För att handskas med dessa väljer ungdomarna olika sätt. Vid vissa tillfällen kan detta leda till att ungdomarna begår oönskade handlingar ur samhällets synpunkt. Genom att söka sig till gäng och därigenom leta efter svar på de problem som de ställs inför leds många ungdomar in i ett asocialt leverne. För att förhindra våra ungdomaIn today's society young people are faced with several problems in their lives. Young people choose different ways to deal with these. At times this can lead to young people committing undesirable actions from the society's point of view. By seeking to gangs and thus looking for the answers to the problems they faced led many young people into an anti-social lifestyle. In order to prevent
Den här kvalitativa komparativa studien ämnar att utforska och jämföra de facto-staterna Taiwans och Kosovos relation till EU utifrån ett neorealistiskt perspektiv. Både Taiwan och Kosovo saknar fullt erkännande som suveräna stater. Tidigare har forskning gjorts om respektive fall, men inte i en komparativ kontext. Resultatet pekar på fyra oberoende variabler som skiljer fallen åt: internationella
Abstract Det finns skolor som anser att den japanska förhandlingskulturen och den kinesiska förhandlingskulturen är identiska med varandra. De sympatiserar för Raymond Cohens berömda klassificering om högkontextuella förhandlingskulturer. Enligt denna klassificering innebär det att förhandlingskulturerna i fråga inte skiljer sig åt. Men det finns andra skolor som anser att det är fel. De kritiser
The purpose of this essay was to further develop the discussion around the street-level bureaucrats and the dilemmas that they meet in their work environment. The paper will try to accomplish this by putting the spotlight on the professional role, the organizational control of the street-level bureaucrat and the effect of society on the work environment. Something that also will be discussed is th
Traditional economic growth measures have not taken into account the negative externalities of productive activities. In this context, the so-called natural resource curse should be redefined beyond positive, negative, slow or fast growth rates. This article, using the case of Chile as a reference, estimates the effect of mining exports on two fundamental indicators of economic development: the fo
According to the swedish law for care of young peoples act (LVU), the social services can deprive the liberty from young people because of their ”socially degrading behaviour”, which could lead to compulsory care. This is possible up to the age of 20, even without approval. ”Socially degrading behaviour” is defined as a behaviour that is deviating from the social norms. Besides the rules about ”so

Syftet med denna uppsats är att studera vilka förväntningar lokala aktörer har inför Eurovision Song Contest i Malmö. Vidare vill vi få klarhet i vilka svårigheter som uppkommer vid tillfredställandet av förväntningarna. Uppsatsen präglas av en kvalitativ forskningsansats, i form av djupintervjuer med diverse lokala aktörer samt två projektledare från Malmö turism. En deltagande observation har u
Kvinnor tjänar forfarande mindre än vad män gör i Sverige. 2011 var löneskillnaden 85.9%, hela arbetsmarknaden inkluderad. I den här uppsatsen visar jag att löneskillnaderna har sin orsak i den socialt konstruerade genusstrukturen som påverkar samhällets statussammansättningsprocesser och till exempel arbetsfördelningen inom hemmet. Förekomsten av direkt diskriminering, fördelningsdiskriminering o
The social significance of destiny in old Icelandic sagas and eddas from the thirteenth century is examined in this paper. I ask the question how destiny is explained and in what shape it is described, what it means to the characters in the sagas and how they handle the predictions of their future. The role of the gods and the creatures such as nornor and valkyrior is a central part in trying to u
The following comparative case study examines the relation between women's representation and gender equality politics through the intersectional lense. Based on Anne Phillips theory of descriptive and substantive representation the study seeks to investigate if women's representation in the Scandinavian countries, specifically in social democratic parties, will lead to a more intersection
De svenska ränteavdragsbegräsningsreglernas förenlighet med EU-rätten har varit föremål för kritik sedan en lång tid tillbaka. Reglerna är tillämpliga på koncerninterna lån och syftar till att motverka både skatteflykt och att den svenska skattebasen eroderas genom fiktiva och konstlade upplägg. Enligt reglernas förarbeten fanns ingen avsikt att reglerna skulle träffa koncerner hemmahörande i SveThe Swedish interest deduction limitation rules compatibility with EU-law have been criticized for a long time. The rules are applicable to intra-group loans and are aimed to both protect the Swedish Tax base and to prevent tax avoidance through the use of artificial arrangements. According to the preparatory works the purpose of the rules was not to target groups of companies within Sweden. This
