The paper extends the Inequality Possibility Frontier (IPF) approach introduced by Milanovic, Lindert and Williamson (2011) in two methodological directions. It allows the social minimum to increase with the average income of a society, and it derives all the IPF statistics for two other inequality measures than the Gini.

At the end of the 1980s, a tri-polar world comprising the US, EU and Japan emerged. However, the economic turbulence of the early 21st century has destabilized this order, and the rise of other Asian powers has implications for the formation of a new economic configuration.

USA har flera gånger intervenerat i andra stater och har idag en pågående operation i Syrien. Kriget i Syrien är mycket komplext vilket har gjort att USA:s interventioner inte blivit granskade på djupet. Vi ämnar därför applicera teorin om rättfärdiga krig för att undersöka huruvida USA har intervenerat rättfärdigt. Genom att analyser USA:s syfte och ageranden, gentemot Syriens regim samt terroris
The classical Stern-Gerlach experiment is analyzed with an emphasis on the spin dynamics. The central question asked is whether there occurs a relaxation of the spin angular momentum during the time the particle passes through the Stern-Gerlach magnet. We examine in particular the transverse relaxation, involving angular momentum exchange between the spin of the particles and the spins of the magn
