National identity, multiculturalism and invisible norms are three conceptions focused on in this essay. They are discussed and analysed with the purpose of deepening deepen the understanding of their meaning. Further on they become instruments in a study of the Liberal Party's proposal for new politics of integration. My ambition is to distinguish signs of a Swedish national identity in this p

The idea of empowering women as a strategy for poverty alleviation, has become increasingly popular with institutions, such as the UN and the World Bank, as well as with NGO:s. Today there is not one definition of what empowerment should mean and the concept is used in many different contexts and is the stated goal of various development strategies. Therefore it is interesting to take a closer

After the tsunami disaster in December 2004 many arguments were heared that one oft the major reasons behind the poor Swedish effort connected to the evacuation and health care of the Swedish citizens in Thailand right after the incident is the Swedish model with independent government authorities. By comparing the constitution, the political decision making tradition by the ministers and the hand

The official rhetoric of American Presidents is viewed by many non-Americans as somewhat ridiculous and unduly pompous and self-righteous. Vanessa Beasley, on the other hand, has argued that the constant references to the superiority of the American nation in the rhetoric of its presidents have been required in order to keep the extremely diversified nation together. Starting from a constructivi

Since the breakdown of the Soviet Union, more than fifteen revolutionary years have passed. Estonia and Latvia have undergone a change from communist states to members of the European Union. As in so many other post-communist states corruption has been a problem. However, Estonia has since the independence had a lower degree of corruption than the neighbour country Latvia. The main purpose of

I have chosen to compare and analyse anti-Semitism on two Islamist and two neo-Nazi websites. The websites belong to Radio Islam, The Muslim Brotherhood, The National Socialist Movement and The National Socialist Front. I have used the theories of William Brustein and Walter Laqueur, which claim that the perception of the Jew and Judaism has remained more or less the same for two thousands years.

This article discusses desirable political representation within the framework of representative democracy. In the desirable representation it is the responsibility of the politician to balance authoritative decision making with responsiveness towards the voters. The article intends to make visible the ethical complexity within representative democracy. Ethically the commission to represent is fur

Begreppet jihad har fått en stor uppmärksamhet in massmedia den senaste tiden. Det är ett mångdimensionellt, men också ett ofta missförstått, begrepp. Den här studien syftar till att belysa detta begrepp genom att jämföra det med den västerländska teorin om det rättfärdiga kriget, en teori som upplevt något av en renässans the senaste decennierna. Min hypotes är att det finns vissa grundlägga

This thesis analyses the tax treatment of foreign investment funds in the Netherlands. Investment funds subject to a special tax scheme are entitled to the reimbursement of withholding tax on the dividends they receive.

In a working world faced with technological innovation, rampant viruses, environmental and climate change, and a volatile global political situation, agricultural workers face the continuing dual human rights dilemma of occupational health and safety and access to a healthy environment. More than a third of the world's working population is engaged in agriculture, which plays a vital role in d

For the sense of well-being and human health, a pleasant indoor environment is essential. Today, people spend about 90 % of their time indoors, meaning that they can be significantly affected by the buildings in which they spend most of their time. Older people are bound to spend more time indoors and also as they belong to the most sensitive age group, their indoor environments as elderly homes m

This thesis deals with an approach in how to structure global governance, proposed by an Australian political scientist John S. Dryzek, called ‘Discursive democracy’.

The thesis offer an evaluation of the approach through a process where the approach

The European Commission has acknowledged the lack of cross-border utilization of losses. Companies operating internationally want to have a possibility to offset losses against taxable profits at the same time or as soon as possible after the losses incurred. If no such possibility is at hand, a cash-flow disadvantage arises and also, it leads to segmentation of the internal market. The asymmetrie

Video on Demand (VoD) is a service that delivers video seamlessly to the consumer on demand. This thesis examines the consumers’ opinion on the different VoD services that exists on the Swedish market.

The aim of this study is to contribute to the existing literature on co-creation in investigating consumers’ motives for participation on the one hand and possible effects of this participation on brand knowledge on the other. It thus provides a link between co-creation, motivation, and branding literature. A constructionist ontological stance and interpretive epistemology led us to the research p
