Politiken menar att ett ökat arbete för stärkt kvinnlig egenmakt är en förutsättning för att kunna nå de bredare utrikespolitiska målen om fred, säkerhet liksom ekonomisk- och hållbar utveckling.

Denna fallstudie syftar till att utvinna fördjupad kunskap om mellanchefens komplexa och mångtydiga roll som meningsskapare och meningsgivare under en digitaliseringsförändring. Tidigare forskning har nämligen betonat mellanchefens roll som avgörande under en förändringsprocess. Detta eftersom mellancheferna innehar en roll som meningsskapare när de omvandlar övergripande organisationsinformation The purpose of this case study is to gain a deepened knowledge about the middle manager's complex and ambiguous role as sensemakers and sensegivers during a digital change. Former research has emphasized the middle manager’s role as crucial during a process of change. This because the middle managers hold a role as sensemakers when they convert the organizational information to their own units

I denna analys studeras framställningen av genus i filmerna Alice in Wonderland (2010) och Alice Through the Looking Glass (2016). Filmerna är producerade i en kontext då Disney börjat skapa filmer med mer “progressiva”, feministiska drag. Eftersom populärkulturen är en viktig källa till vår verklighetsuppfattning, blir det betydelsefullt att studera just hur genus representeras i dessa två populä
