The Resource Curse is a theory which suggests that countries with an abundance of natural resources are prone to experience slower growth than resource scarce countries. Research has suggested that good governance can prevent this negative correlation from emerging. This case study examines which aspects of good governance that have been important in avoiding the Resource Curse in the case of Bots
Al Qaeda and the Islamic State are two of the most dangerous terrorist organizations in the world, whose terror campaigns have changed the nature of global jihadi terrorism in fundamental ways. The purpose of this thesis is to study the strategy of the Islamic State in relation to the strategy of Al Qaeda, with Martha Crenshaw’s Instrumental and Organizational Perspectives.

Entrepreneurial motivations are still a relatively undiscovered research field (Carsrud & Brännback, 2010). More specifically there seems to be a gap in the literature about the motivation of older entrepreneurs (Weber & Schaper, 2004). Weber and Schaper (2004) mentioned that this segment will have a growing impact upon national economic performance, policy frameworks, academia and the bus
Införandet av den nya dataskyddsreformen innebär en rad nya, stärkta rättigheter för gemene man. Stärkta rättigheter kan leda till ökad kontroll, om man är medveten om att dessa finns. Vikten av att ha kontroll över sina personuppgifter blir, i takt med att behandlingen av dessa ökar, större. I takt med att företags behandling ökar blir personuppgifter allt mer värdefulla och kallas numera för fra
Market concept such as sustainability, CSR and sustainable food have influenced the way in which actors on the marketplace behave. Furthermore, previous research have shown that while some market concepts and logics succeed in becoming established among market actors other do not. This in turn has significant consequences on how the market is structured and the behavior of different actors within
Rätten till arbete, som utgör en av de mest centrala mänskliga rättigheterna och även ses som en grundläggande förutsättning för samhällsintegrering, är införlivad i en rad olika MR-instrument. Lika tillgång till arbetsmarknaden är en mycket viktig aspekt av denna rättighet, som även utmanar den underliggande norm om universalitet som präglar det internationella ramverket för mänskliga rättigheterThe right to work, as one of the most crosscutting and enabling socio-economic rights, as well as a basic requirement for social integration, is enshrined in a wide range of international human rights instruments. Equal access to the labour market is one important aspect of this right that challenges the underlying universality norm of the human rights regime by imposing on states the obligation t

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Det Rinkiska bältet är den nordliga delen av en bergskedjebildning som kallas Nagssugtoqidisk-Rinkiska orogenesen (NRO), på centrala och norra Västgrönland. NRO är en gammal, djupt eroderad, 1000 km bred bergskedja som bildades vid kontinent-kontinent kollision för 1,85-1,87 Ga sedan och som korreleras med det angränsande nordöstra Kanada. Det Rinkiska bältet beThe Palaeoproterozoic Rinkian fold belt forms the northern segment of the Nagssugtoqidian-Rinkian orogenic (NRO) system of central and northern West Greenland. The NRO is an ancient, deeply-eroded, 1000 km wide orogen formed during a continent-continent collision c. 1.85-1.87 Ga ago correlated to the adjacent north-eastern Canada. The Rinkian fold belt consists of Archaean basement and the unconfo
De fördelar som ses med ett tvåkammarsystem kategoriseras utifrån följande fem generella, övergripande argument: granskning, stabilitet, kompletterande perspektiv, skydd för minoriteter och storlek. Storbritanniens utformande av tvåkammarsystemet är unikt i den mening att dess överhus utgörs av medlemmar som inte blivit demokratiskt valda och som i vissa fall även har ärvt sina positioner. Utifr
During the last decade, several influential organizations have emphasized the importance of green investments. Furthermore, many advocators have claimed that green investments would be beneficial both for the labor market but also for the economy. These statements are both misleading and hazardous since they provide a biased picture of the reality. There is no doubt that our societies need to turn
Min forskningsfråga är i vilken utsträckning rätten till abort är skyddad i Europarådets system, med fokus på rättspraxis från den Europeiska domstolen för de mänskliga rättigheterna. Teorier och förklaringsmodeller som används för att analysera policybeslut, lagstiftning och rättsfall gällande abort i Europarådet presenteras först. I korthet menar dessa teorier att det finns en strukturell diskrMy research question is to what extent the right to abortion is protected in the Council of Europe system, with a focus on the case law of the European Court of Human Rights. First, theories and models of explanation are presented that are used to analyse the policies, legislation and cases on the issue abortion the Council of Europe. In short, these theories state that there is a structural disc
In this thesis the democratic legitimacy of transnational governance arrangements is examined normatively. The ambition is to take on a pragmatic viewpoint and the democracy perspective outlined with this in mind provides us with three aspects that should be considered in order to obtain democratic legitimacy. On the normative side of democratic legitimacy we have the principle of self-determinati
Denna uppsats presenterar Paul Ricoeurs teori om berättande och temporalitet så som den framställs i hans verk Temps et récit . Den presenterar också den förändring inom narratologin som brukar kallas the narrative turn. Som ett exempel på denna narrativa vändning tar jag upp Monika Fludernik och hennes ‘Natural’ Narratology. Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka vilken plats Paul Ricoeurs teorier om
The witness is universally considered to be one the most instruments to ascertain the truth in criminal proceedings or as Bentham says “Witnesses are the eyes and the ears of justice.” Under the International Criminal Court (ICC)’s legal framework, witnesses who testify before the Court, persons at risk and their interaction with the Court because of testimony at the ICC are entitled to the protec
The Florentine Consulte e Pratiche is the oldest recorded series of speech-by-speech policy discussion by political elites in European history, over one hundred and fifty years in length. This article is the first of an extended two-article sequence on political discussion in the Consulte e Pratiche, during the 1376–1378 period of the War of Eight Saints, which led up to the famous Ciompi Revolt.
Thomas Mathiesen’s theories, his activism and his scholarship are needed, important and useful for contemporary researchers concerned with social change and social justice. At this moment in time, when strong social movements and abolitionism are back on the agenda, Mathiesen’s theories can not only be revitalised, but moved forward in the everlasting unfinished fashion. Mathiesen’s work might be
