Sverige präglas idag av en stark urbaniseringstrend, där inflyttning främst sker till våra tre storstadsregioner. Ett problem som försvårar urbaniseringen är att utbudet av bostäder inte möter den stora efterfrågan som uppstått. Byggbar mark i centrala lägen betraktas dessutom ofta som fullt ianspråktagen. På så vis har en diskussion om möjligheter att effektivisera markanvändningen uppstått. DettToday, Sweden is characterized by a strong urbanisation trend, where occupation mainly takes place in our three metropolitan regions, Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö. A problem that complicates the urbanisation is the fact that supply does not meet the demand of housing, which has arisen in these areas. In addition, buildable land in central areas is often considered to be fully claimed. Thus, a d

The main purpose of this study is to examine if the relationship between a target and an acquiring company´s abnormal return prior the transaction can affect the outcome in the future.

After 9/11, the US had a military presence in Afghanistan for 20 years between 2001 and 2021. However, in 2021 this military presence was terminated amid surging unrest in Afghanistan and the Taliban reclaiming power. This means that the US political administrations have had to explain to Americans why the military presence was necessary and then why it was not necessary anymore. Therefore, this t
This paper investigates the recruitment of foreign fighters to the Kurdish armed forces YPG and YPJ, who combat the jihadist Islamic State in Western Kurdistan. The research question addresses the mystery of how people with no ties to the conflict area can be motivated to risk their lives in a distant conflict abroad, when they could just choose not to. David Malet´s theory of the framing of the c
