In the field of development economics corruption is considered a major obstacle to economic development. When opportunities to abuse power for self-interest are widespread, inequalities may become reinforced and democratic and economic development will be undermined. Empirical studies have found a negative relationship between gender and corruption implying that increased female participation lowe

Förändringar inom en organisation är något vi alla kommer att möta någon gång under vår yrkeskarriär. Vid dessa tillfällen finns det ett flertal olika lagar och föreskrifter som äger tillämplighet. De tre vanligaste rättsreglerna är Arbetsmiljölagen, Medbestämmandelagen och föreskriften om systematiskt arbetsmiljöarbete. Det som skiljer regelverken åt är att Arbetsmiljölagen och föreskriften om syChanges within an organization are something we all meet during our professional career. At these occasions, several laws and regulations may apply. The three most common rules and regulations are the Work Environment Act, Co-Determination Act and the Statute book about Systematic work environment management. What divides the legislations, is that the Work Environment Act and the Statute book abou

Sedan 2008 bor över hälften av jordens befolkning i städer, och urbaniseringstrenden visar inga tecken på att vända. Staden har blivit människans habitat. Det är här hon föds, skrattar, älskar, lever och dör. Människan lever av staden, och staden lever av landet som omger den. Hur mycket kan staden växa innan obalansen blir för stor och landet omkring förbrukas? Kan en byggnad i staden bidra till

Bemanningsföretagens växande antal på arbetsmarknaden utmanar avvägningen mellan arbetsledningsrätten och anställningsskyddet. Enligt Landsorganisationen i Sverige är inhyrning av arbetstagare, när det finns företrädesberättigare arbetstagare, ett sätt för arbetsgivaren att kringgå lagen om anställningsskydd. Arbetsgivarsidan trycker i stället på arbetsledningsrätten och menar att lag och praxis f

Idag vet man genom flertalet forskningsrapporter och studier att barn som bevittnar våld i nära relationer kan ta lika stor skada som barn som direkt utsätts för misshandel, och att omfattningen av barns våldsexponering i hemmet är stor. Det har i förarbeten uttryckts att dessa barn kan anses vara föremål för en form av psykisk misshandel. Att låta barn bevittna våld är emellertid inte en kriminalWe know from a majority of research studies that children who witness domestic violence can take as much damage as children directly exposed to assault offenses, and that the extent of children's exposure of violence at home are of great proportions. It has been expressed in Swedish legislation that these children can be subject to psychological abuse. Allowing children to witness violence is

Det huvudsakliga syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilket skydd svensk lagstiftning stadgar mot barn- och tvångsäktenskap samt bakgrunden till detta skydd och hur skyddet förhåller sig till mänskliga rättigheter samt kulturella och religiösa normer kring äktenskap. Synen på äktenskapets syfte och ingående varierar stort mellan olika normsystem och är till stor del beroende av vilket samhälleThe main purpose of this paper is to investigate what protection Swedish legislation provides against child and forced marriages as well as the background to this protection and how it relates to human rights and cultural and religious norms regarding marriage. The view on matrimonial purpose and conclusion varies greatly between different norm systems and is largely dependent on what kind of soc

Eftersom Storbritannien efter mer än 30 år sedan CISG:s ikraftträdande fortfarande inte har anslutit sig till konventionen, frågan uppstår om varför så är fallet. Kan det vara så att det till en viss del kan bero på skillnader angående hur den engelska tillämpliga lagen ifråga och CISG ställer sig till skyldigheten att betala skadestånd? Syftet med uppsatsen är att klargöra de likheter och skillnaSince the U.K. after more than 30 years from the CISG’s enforcement still has not adopted the Convention, the question arises; how come? Could it be that this partially is due to differences in how the English applicable law and the CISG addresses liability for damages? The objective of this paper is to elucidate the similarities and differences in the two laws, regarding the seller’s obligation t
