Sammanfattning Alternativa tvistlösningsmetoder eller Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) är på frammarsch såväl globalt som nationellt. Efter att under en termin vid Köpenhamns universitet kommit i kontakt med medling som tvistlösningsmetod, väcktes ett än större intresse för dessa alternativa sätt att lösa konflikter på. Jag ställde mig även då frågande till vad framgången för ADR kunde komma Summary Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is progressing both globally as well as nationally. After my semester at the University of Copenhagen my interest in ADR in general and in mediation in particular, was awakened and strengthen. I wondered, what impact the increasing use of ADR might have on the Civil Procedure in general and in what regard it might affect the functions of the Civil Proc

The evident place that film has in society makes it a powerful medium that journeys across borders of nationalities, sexualities, and ethnicities. Film represents, and since representation is of importance when acquiring knowledge and a continuous changing medium, it must be scrutinised continuously. In this thesis, contemporary Swedish mainstream cinema (2000-2010) has been examined for its repre

I medierna förekommer ofta beskrivningar av utländska arbetstagare som blir utnyttjade av sina arbetsgivare på ett graverande sätt. Exempel på detta har varit de thailändska bärplockarna i Norrland och den kinesiska kock i Malmö som tvingades arbeta fram till att han kollapsade. Eftersom tvångsarbete är ett dolt fenomen utgör dessa fall förmodigen toppen på ett isberg. Tvångsarbete är inte explicThere are often articles in Swedish newspapers describing situations were foreign workers have been exploited by their employers. Well known examples are the Thai berry pickers in Norrland and the Chinese cook in Malmö that was forced to work until he collapsed. Forced Labor is a hidden phenomenon, therefore there is reason to assume that these cases only show the tip of the iceberg. Forced labor

Principen om självbestämmande har färdats långt från sitt ursprung som ett verktyg för politisk retorik till sin nuvarande ställning som en folkrättslig princip gällande erga omnes. Såväl innehållet som tillämpligheten av självbestämmanderätten förblir dock oklar. Detta gäller särskilt nationella minoriteter, som traditionellt inte har tillerkänts denna rättighet. Denna avhandling undersöker därföThe principle of self-determination has come a long way from its origins as a tool for political rhetoric to its current status as a right of international law valid erga omnes. However, the contents of the right to self-determination, as well as its applicability, remain unclear. This holds true especially concerning national minorities, which have not traditionally been considered recipients of

This thesis seeks insight into a historical moment through an investigation of James Cameron’s 2009 film, Avatar, as an expression of a distinct form of posthumanism relevant to today’s digital network technology.

This thesis provides a formal analysis of Agnès Varda’s documentary The Beaches of Agnès (2008), focusing on how the formal elements in the film such as voice-over, reenactments and the use of mirrors create a sense of self-awareness in the film.

This thesis explores the interplay between the architectural image and its collective meaning in the contemporary society.

While questioning the

De perspektiv av blankningslagstiftningen som kommer att lyftas fram i uppsatsen är inte enbart de nationella utan även de europeiska. Den europeiska harmoniseringen har inte uppnått så stora resultat på det skatterättsliga området, vilket beror på den starka suveräniteten som funnits historiskt när det gäller ländernas egna skattesystem. Fokus kommer i huvudsak att ligga på de skatterättsliga effThe perspectives of short-selling rules that will be highlighted in the paper are not only national but also European. The European harmonization has not achieved such great results in the tax area, which is due to the strong sovereignty that existed historically in terms of countries own tax system. The focus will mainly be on the fiscal impact of the phenomenon of short selling, but also the civ

According to offensive realism states can not trust each other because states can never be sure about other states’ intentions. In this paper I will test this theory by seeking an answer to the question does uncertainty rul
