Studien undersöker om den svenska antirasistiska rörelsen upprätthåller rasistiska värderingar och har inspirerats av den brittiska forskaren Ali Rattansi.

The Kyoto protocol was the first tangible approach to prevent increasing amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. In order to attain this objective, the parties of the protocol decided to put restrictions on anthropogenic emissions caused by production in developed countries. This territorially defined production-based method of measuring might have been a misguided path though. Researchers

This is done through a cr

This thesis aims to reproduce the study Esping-Andersen conducted in the seminal work “The Three Worlds of Welfare Capitalism” (1990) in a 21st century context. The study conducted in “Three Worlds” discovered that welfare states tended to cluster around three welfare-state regimes: social democratic, conservative and liberal. The purpose is to see whether the studied countries have changed during

When speaking in terms of institutional fragmentation in global environmental governance one might rather immediately notice that a certain degree of said fragmentation probably is a perennial characteristic in this context and, arguably, preferable. However, the degree varies rather widely in time, space and issue areas. Fisheries being an example of a relatively high degree of fragmentation, sin

Könsfördelningen i aktiebolagsstyrelser både i Sverige och inom EU är ojämn, även om klyftorna har minskat under de senaste åren.
