Carbon offsetting has been one of the main international attempts to mitigate climate change. It is however a contested practice that has been heavily criticized in multiple ways. Seeing as Sweden offsets parts of its emissions to reach its national emission reduction targets, I am interested in studying the discourses on carbon offsetting and how the practice has been framed in Swedish politics.

Beviskravet riktas mot den part som bär bevisbördan i målet. Syftet med framställningen är att utreda vilket beviskrav som gäller för att tvångsomhändertagande ska få ske enligt 2 § LVU och huruvida det bevi
Syftet med denna uppsats är att problematisera Pensionsmyndighetens externa kommunikation, mer specifikt informationskampanjen Riskgruppen, och analysera på vilka sätt den kan förstås som producerad i en nyliberalistisk diskurs. Inom ramen för detta syfte problematiseras vad en nyliberalistisk diskurs kan sägas kännetecknas av och vilken “konceptuell logik”, d.v.s. de värderingar och förgivettagna
I betänkandet ”Ökat skydd mot hedersrelaterad brottslighet” (SOU 2018:69), som för närvarande ligger under beredning hos regeringskansliet, finns ett lagförslag om att barn som riskerar att föras ut ur landet för att ingå äktenskap eller könstympas ska kunna meddelas ett utreseförbud.

Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att utreda på vilket sätt en kvinnas otrohet kan innebära strafflindring för en man som utövat våld mot kvinnan och om det finns anledning att kritisera den nuvarande möjligheten att med framgång åberopa otrohet som en förmildrande omständighet. Den kritiska analysen har delvis gjorts utifrån ett genusperspektiv. För det första kan det konstateras att en kvinnlig parThe purpose of this thesis has been to investigate in what ways infidelity by a woman can work as a mitigating factor for a man who has committed violence against the woman and if there are reasons to criticize this existing possibility to claim infidelity as a mitigating circumstance. A gender perspective has been applied when conducting parts of the critical analysis. It can be established that
Religiös omskärelse på pojkar är ett ingrepp som är förekommande över världens alla hörn, liksom i Sverige. Omskärelsen sker oftast när pojken är ung och därav är det i de flesta fall vårdnadshavaren som beslutar att omskärelsen ska ske. Omskärelse är att betrakta som ett utryck för vårdnadshavarens religionsfrihet och dennes rätt att föra över sin tro på sitt barn. Denna rätt innebär dock en inskReligious circumcision of males is a procedure that is widely occurring all over the world, including Sweden.

In their 2019 election campaign for the European Parliament (EP) the Swedish radical left party Vänsterpartiet decided to drop their demand that Sweden should leave the European Union (EU). One of the reasons given for this change was a criticism of Brexit. Another reason was that Vänsterpartiet’s supporters had become more supportive of the EU. The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to examine if
Temporära diplomatiska beskickningar mellan stater regleras internationellt genom ”The Convention on Special Mission”. Genom konventionen regleras också vilken typ av immunitet som gäller för ad hoc-diplomater. Temporära beskickningar har oftast ett specifikt syfte och verkar på uppdrag av en stat under en begränsad tidsperiod. Sverige har för närvarande inte anslutit sig till konventionen och harDiplomatic delegations sent by a state to conduct specific tasks are internationally referred to as special missions. This type of diplomacy is regulated through the Convention on Special Missions which also states the terms of immunity for the so-called ad hoc diplomats.

Therefore, the aim of this study is to exami

The following thesis is an attempt to critically analyse the legitimation claims of Private Transnational Governance (PTGs) initiatives targeting child labour in the Indian carpet belt. Drawing upon the concept of performativity, the research will seek to problematize the tendency to perceive legitimacy in the myopic sense of quantifiable ‘inputs’ and ‘outputs’. To address this issue, the study wi
