Vikten av att ha kontroll över sina personuppgifter blir, i takt med att behandlingen av dessa ökar, större.

There is a trans-European transport network policy on the supranational level that aims to connect Europe with efficient, sustainable, safe and economically viable cross-national transport infrastructure. Because of this, one could expect EU funding to focus on rail infrastructure, as it has proven to be a low polluting, cost effective and an efficient mode of cross-national transport. However, as
Human rights values are often mentioned politically in the interaction between the Americas and Europe, but their scholarly examination remains rare. This paper aims to contribute to the study of Latin America and Europe today by re-examining the engagement of the European Union and Mexico, extending beyond trade to encompass human rights concerns. While the Mexico-European Union relationship cont
In recent years, disinformation has received a lot of attention, including within the European Union (EU). This paper aims to examine the EU's view on disinformation.

Utifrån det och faktumet att Sverige hade en vänsterpolitisk regering var vår hypotes således att Sverigedemokraterna borde fått ökat väljarstöd under det första året av covid-19. Denna hypotes stämde däremot inte in i den svenska kontexten, då regeringspartierna generellt ökade i stöd medan Sverigedemokraterna minskade
The Arab Spring broke out in the MENA-region in 2011 in the guise of a series of mass protests demanding political and regime change. The rebellion was triggered by a long period of autocratic rule which for the region’s citizens had meant social injustice, economic complications, oppression and lack of political and human rights. The purpose of this study is to examine the democratization process
Scholars on Europeanization generally agree that local level governments are somewhat Europeanized since they are affected by EU legislation. The debate between scholars rather revolves around how local level governments are Europeanized.

One of the more intensely discussed theories is the “police-conspiracy theory”. In this thesis I investigate how this theory became a kind of public knowledge in the years after the assassination. Using a theoretical framework base
Energy communities are on the rise in the EU. Viewed as a potential driver to a socio-technical transition towards renewable energy, they are given substantial room for growth within EU policy. In some EU member states, they are flourishing, while in others they barely exist. This thesis analyses how the density of energy communities affects the shares of renewable energy in a state’s energy mix.
The political climate in the Arctic is changing in tandem with the world’s climate. As the ice thaws and leaves a previously frozen sea open, it likewise opens up for new opportunities as estimated abundances of resources become reachable for the first time. The diminishing ice also opens up new water ways for shipping routes and tourism, providing new economic opportunities. This has piqued the i
