The advent of the epoch known as the Anthropocene has been treated as a paradigm shift throughout the natural as well as parts of the social sciences. This shift entails mankind’s becoming of a geological force alongside others. Political theory and International Relations in particular have, however, been slow to pick this up. This thesis is an attempt to fill this gap. In this thesis I examine t

Asymmetric effects may be present due to uncertainty and loss aversion, the downward-stickiness of prices, or financial market imperfections. The empirical analysis is conducted through a panel data re
Cooperation over shared water resources is often emphasised as something desirable. At the same time research show how a collaborative discourse can hide harmful effects of cooperation.

Self-delimiting peoples är grupper av människor som inte har någon relation med den stat vars territorium de befinner sig på. Genom att redogöra för en sådan grupps historik samt nuvarande förutsättn

Graham Greenes roman The Quiet American analyseras, till stor del med utgångspunkt i uppsatsförfattarens förförståelser av Greenes författarskap och 'Greeneland'. Genom Hans-Georg Gadamers hermeneutiska teorier så som de presenteras i Wahrheit und Methode och det textbegrepp Roland Barthes presenterar i "The Death of the Author" söker uppsatsförfattaren att medvetandegöra sina fö
I goda som svåra tider är den ekonomiska situationen ett ofta förekommande diskussionsämne i den politiska världen. Uppsatsen handlar om hur regeringars väljarstöd påverkas av makroekonomiska faktorer som arbetslöshet, inflation och BNP tillväxt. Teorin baseras på ”the responsibility hypothesis” som innebär att väljarna håller den sittande regeringen ansvarig för den ekonomiska utvecklingen. För a
