Den internationella arenan domineras av stater. Staters existens är befäst i sedvanerätten genom Montevideokonventionen. Det har dock i ivern att hålla sig fast vid denna uppstått en uppfattning om att de kriterierna som krävs för att något kan anses vara en stat, också blir gällande e contrario i hänsyn till när stater ska anses upphöra att existera. En av de fyra kriterierna är kriteriet om terrThe global arena is dominated by states. The existence of a state is regulated in the Montevideo Convention on the Rights of States. There does however seem, that in the desire to follow this convention, a definitive opinion that states losing one of the criteria set up by the convention, also means losing their stateship, as a Montevideo Convention e contrario, if you will. One of these four crit
This thesis examines gender equality policies of the European Union in external affairs. The aim is to discover how the meaning and “problem” of gender (in)equality is constructed, represented, and problematized in the gender policies for external action. The study also ascertains what logics underpin the problem representations, whose voices are silenced, and what subject positions are created. E
Enligt svensk processrätt råder som huvudregel fri bevisvärdering och fri bevisföring. Fri bevisföring innebär att det som utgångspunkt inte får finnas någon begränsning av vilken sorts bevisning som presenteras i en rättegång. Detta hänger samman med den fria bevisvärderingen som innebär att det inte finns några regler gällande hur en viss typ av bevisning får värderas. Vidare har enligt artikel According to Swedish procedural law, the process of production of evidence and the evaluation of evidence should be free. That the production of evidence is free means that, as a general rule, there must be no restriction on the type of evidence presented in trial. This is connected with the free evaluation of evidence, which means that there must be no rules regarding how a certain type of eviden

In this essay atypical noun- noun combination, which could be possible compounds are investigated. The research questions for this essay include if these combinations are compounds or phrases, what these noun-noun combinations look like a
The UK was considered to be one of Sweden’s best friends and allies in the European Union. When the UK decided to leave in 2016, Sweden was forced to reconsider their strategy for maximising its influence in the union.

Ecuador has experienced a drastic political transformation since the return to neoliberalism under the reign of president Lenin Moreno. Political contentions between the government, environmentalists, and indigenous peoples have led to increased social resistance, protesting the use of extractivism and other neoliberal policies to increase economic growth and relieve national debt. In 2019, the Wa
Around the world the rise of populist and anti-globalization forces can be seen. In Sweden this movement is prevalent as well, as the populist party the Sweden Democrats is experiencing a substantial increase in support. The reason for this is a widely debated subject amongst scholars. One potential explanation for the rise of populism could be the increased imports from China in recent years. Pre
Teachers in Sweden are instructed not just to teach their subject but also fundamental values. However, educators are given no guidelines as to how to do this. It therefore becomes relevant to research how language teachers can use literary works in school to ensure that students acquire knowledge about themes found in the curriculum, thus combining an important part from the subject’s contents wi

The island has set an ambitious vision, ‘Bornholm showing the way – without waste 2032’, aiming for 100 % waste recycling and reuse by 2032. To reach the vision, it is essential to include waste prevention, particularly dematerialisation before goods are procured o
Ekonomiska verktyg för bevisning, exempelvis SSNIP-testet, kan utgöra problem inom konkurrensrätten då ekonomer har mindre förståelse för juridik och jurister har mindre förståelse för ekonomi. Konkurrensrätt är ett ämne som starkt präglas av ekonomisk bevisning på grund av ämnets ekonomiska natur. Det är därav av värde att beskriva och analysera förutsättningarna och gränserna för när SSNIP-testeEconomic evidence tools, such as the SSNIP-test, can pose practical problems in competition law since economists have little understanding of the law and lawyers have little understanding of economics. Competition law is characterized by economic evidence because of the economic nature of the subject. Therefore, it is of value to describe and analyse the conditions and limits for when the SSNIP-te
Tightly knit to the debate about a democratic deficit to the European Union (EU) is that of a communication deficit, meaning that the legitimacy a political entity gain through the communicative processes that ensure insight into politics is flawed. Ideas on how to overcome the communication deficit often revolve around transnationalizing communication between Member States or improving the commun
