In addition, we formulate a decision based risk attri

The 2010s have raised questions about the influence of small central banks in an integrated economy. This thesis investigates the efficacy of the Swedish Riksbank and the effect of economic integration since the adoption of a floating exchange rate in 1993.

Tidigare forskning om populism menar att populistiska partier ökar under kris. 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.

At the international climate negotiations at COP27, parties reached the historic agreement to establish a fund to provide assistance to countries in responding to costs associated with climate change, the loss and damage fund. The decision is a result of many years of struggle for the recognition of loss and damage under the UNFCCC which have long been opposed by post-industrial countries. This th

Situationen rörande undervattenskablar och ledningar är mer aktuella än någonsin. Med bakgrund i den allt snabbare digitaliseringen i världen, har denna typ av infrastruktur blivit allt viktigare givet dess användning för kommunikationstjänster och energitillgångar. Detta har gjort sådan infrastruktur en sårbar måltavla för hybridkrigföring. Under de senaste tre åren har sådana situationer utspelaThe situation regarding submarine cables and pipelines is more relevant than ever. As the world’s digitalisation keeps increasing, submarine infrastructure acquires more and more importance due to its vitality for communication services and energy reliability, thus becoming a vulnerable target for hybrid warfare. Such acts of deliberate sabotage have surged, with seven incidents being reported in
