Huntington formulerade i början på 90-talet sin teori kring framtidens konflikter. Dessa skulle ha sitt ursprung i kulturella skillnader uttryckt genom olika civilisationer. Denna studien kommer fokusera på Turkiets försök till EU-medlemskap, som än så länge inte blivit verklighet. Utifrån Huntingtons teorier gällande kulturkrockar kommer vi finna belägg för att kulturella skillnader leder till sp

En arbetsplats kan av olika skäl råka ut för en tillfällig nedgång i behovet av arbetskraft. Ett sätt att bemöta detta har traditionellt varit att tillgripa permitteringar. Permittering kan förekomma vid både tillsvidare- och visstidsanställda, men historiskt sett har det oftast rört sig om timanställda. Permitteringar förekommer i princip enbart på arbetarområdet. Med begreppet permittering menasA workplace can due to various reasons, experience a temporary decline in the demand for labor. One way to address this has traditionally been resorting to layoffs. Layoffs may occur in both permanent and fixed-term employments, but historically it has often been a matter of hourly employees. The term layoff means that an employer has the opportunity to temporary layoff employees, or due to some o

Denna studie undersöker om Garbage Can theory, soptunnemodellen, kan användas för att analysera beslutsprocesser som sker vid Migrationsverkets asylhandläggning. Vi har använt en hypotetisk-deduktiv metod för att undersöka detta med hjälp av observerbara implikationer som vi har tittat närmare på inom myndigheten. Studien har lett oss till den slutsatsen att det finns tendenser till att en soptunn

Denna studie studerar Försvarsmakten och Lunds universitet som två unika fall av svensk förvaltning ur ett implementeringsperspektiv rörande jämställdhet. Vi studerar jämställdhetsimplementering utifrån handläggandet av förvaltningarnas policys och utifrån nyckelpersoners berättelser. I denna uppsats studerar vi två strukturellt liknande organisationer men med vitt skilda verksamhetsområden och hu

I södra Kanada finns ett område med mängder av unikt välbevarade fossil från silurperioden (444-416 miljoner år sedan). I berglager från det så kallade Eramosaområdet har nu omkring 425 miljoner år gamla fossila rester efter havsborstmaskar hittats. Eftersom dessa djur består av mjuka vävnader som snabbt bryts ner efter döden så är det framför allt deras käkar, eller scolecodonter, som bevaras somThe Silurian Eramosa Lagerstätte in Ontario, Canada, is represented by three distinguished biotas (1 to 3) with exceptionally well preserved fossils. In this study, the jawed polychaete fauna is described and discussed for the first time, on the basis of scolecodonts and jaw apparatuses, recovered from Biota 1 and 3. One new paulinitid species, Kettnerites sp. a, is described from a wealthy collec

Teorin om resursförbannelsen gör gällande att stater som uppvisar ett beroende av inkomster som naturresurser genererar i lägre grad har demokratiska styrelseskick. I denna studie prövar vi teorins giltighet i två regioner, Sydostasien och Mellanöstern-Nordafrika, genom att manuellt och över tid studera diagram och statistik över nämnda samband. Ytterligare använder vi oss av fyra kontrollvariable

In this paper I examine the location of manufacturing industries across Swedish regions, between 1900 and 1960, using a novel dataset on manufacturing employment disaggregated into eight industries and 24 (NUTS-III) regions. By means of OLS estimations of a model where the regional share of employment in an industry is determined by interactions between region and industry characteristics I show t

The aim of this bachelor thesis is to examine which ideas that have been influential in the Swedish debate on regionalization and to analyze the change in the usage of these ideas. This study is a descriptive idea analysis based on the official state reports on regionalization that have been published between 1968 and 2012. The main focus is therefore on the official viewpoint in the discussion on

This thesis aims to explain the rise of CSR and the increasing private sector strategies within foreign aid in Sweden. The theoretical approach is grounded in three hypotheses that could explain the rise of this I) that the global idea on a changed role for business has fostered the development II) that it is due to a conservative more pro-business government in power or III) that it is a developm

In the wake of the 2005 World Summit ratification of the responsibility to protect doctrine, the cases of Darfur and Syria have revealed the decisionary discretion of the collective international responsibility to protect inscribed within the doctrine. Through an engagement with the decisionist theory of Carl Schmitt and the work of Giorgio Agamben, this essay seeks to return the question of the d

The purpose of this thesis is to explore the region in its role as a regional security provider through a within-case study of West Africa. The point of departure is on one hand that contemporary threats to international peace and security are increasingly regional, arising within states rather than from a global or out-of-region origin, and on the other hand that the regions among the world has b

This study will explain the effect populist parties have on the convergence of the traditional parties in a country. By focusing on Denmark and France, both countries with a very successful rightist populist party but with a different electoral system, the study will explain how the convergence was affected before and after a populist party got popular. The analysis is made from reviews of the pol

Uganda, along with a number of other African states, is a state struggling with the task of bringing together a vast range of ethnic minority groups into one nation-state decided by geographical borders drawn by colonial masters Britain during imperialism. The effects of these colonial decisions and policies are widely known to having plagued the native population during the course of history. Thi

Erosion of coastal areas is experienced in many countries around the world. The natural beach dynamics is caused by hydrodynamic processes, variations in sediment transport rates and frequency of storm events but anthropogenic influences may also contribute to an increased erosion/accretion of the shoreline. Maputo city, located in the southeastern part of Mozambique, have during the last decays e

The Base of the Pyramid (BoP) refers to 4 - 4,5 billion people in the world, who are living on less than a few dollars per day. This majority of the world's population has a little resources and is usually considered as a group with no purchasing power and therefore is currently unserved and underserved by current products and services. However, more than any others, the low-income consumers a

This essay contains a study of the Swedish aid discourse. By use of the theory about historicism by Dipesh Chakrabarty I aim to find what representations are found within the discourse, and what subject positions exists about the countries who receive aid, and the countries, in this case Sweden, who give aid. Through discourse analysis and my theoretical framework containing of post-colonial theor

Abstract Uppsatsen Fienden Inifrån granskar medierapporteringen kring Anders Breivik – gärningsmannen bakom terrordåden i Oslo den 22 juli 2011 med syftet att nå djupare insikt i hur media konstruerar fienden när denne kommer inifrån det egna samhället, samt vilka konsekvenser denna konstruktion får. Genom att undersöka 16 artiklar publicerade i Dagens Nyheter analyseras mediekonstruktionen av fi

Starting out from the neo-pluralistic theory and advocacy coalition framework, this study has an ambition to identify which theory may explain the sustainable development in the City of Växjö. The first mentioned theory stipulates that business groups affect the policy by for instance lobbying politicians. The latter one focuses on the fact that actors create coalitions in order to impose their id

Since the end of the world wars and the post cold-war era during the 2Oth century, Mary Kaldor argues that a new phenomenon, New Wars, can be seen across the planet. New Wars differ from Old Wars in it’s structure, where the actors participating in the New Wars are more complex to define. The actors in the New Wars are no longer only state actors, but a mix of international and national, public an

Vid nyetablering av bostadsområden byggs ofta långsmala hus tätt intill varandra. Placering av fönster är då i princip samlad till gavlarna och öppna planlösningar används för att få in ljuset i huset. Vid dimensionering för horisontell vindlast måste två fall undersökas för en byggnad. Det första fallet beaktar statisk jämvikt för systemet, dvs. stjälpning, och det andra fallet beaktar inre b
