In this paper we discuss social policy in relation to different development contexts, where characteristics and outcomes of social policies in different sectors ( e.g.,housing, care, education, social security) are compared. The paper relates to the discussion on the causes and outcomes of welfare state management in different contexts. However, existing analytical models do not fit the mixtures o
Global land acquisitions, often dubbed 'land grabbing' are increasingly becoming drivers of land change. We use the tools of network science to describe the connectivity of the global acquisition system. We find that 126 countries participate in this form of global land trade. Importers are concentrated in the Global North, the emerging economies of Asia, and the Middle East, while exporters are c
This thesis consists of three essays discussing institutional change and its effects. It distinguishes between economic and political institutions, and highlights the need for broader empirical efforts that consider interactions among different types of institutions. The first essay titled Effect of Trade and Political Institutions on Economic Institutions explores the relationship between trade a
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: På stranden i Haväng på Österlen finns ett område precis norr om Verkeåns mynning där sanden är uppseendeväckande mörk, nästan svart på sina ställen. Söder om mynningen är sanden lika ljus som på vilken vanlig strand som helst. Det som ger denna färgskillnad är att sanden på den norra sidan av åns mynning delvis består av tunga mineral, varav några är mörka. DärAt the beach in Haväng, an area with remarkably dark sand is located just north of the outlet of Verkeån. The sand is almost black in some places. South of the outlet the sand is as light as normal beach sand. What gives this colour difference is that the sand north of Verkeån contains some heavy minerals, some of which are dark. The placer deposit contains among other minerals zircon, apatite, ru
Bolivia holds among the biggest reserves of lithium in the world. Lithium-ion batteries are essential components in electric vehicles, solar panels, and wind turbines, and are therefore crucial for a global transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Meanwhile, the extraction process of lithium can cause large environmental damage. Bolivia has previously failed to industrialize its lithium,
Den här avhandlingen ger en förståelse och överblick av möjligheterna och utmaningarna för en hållbar användning av individuella polybags i detaljhandeln. Detta genomfördes genom en kvalitativ analys som inkluderade litteraturstudier, semi-strukturerade intervjuer och e-mejl korrespondens. Ett material som används vanligtvis för individuella polybags är fossil-baserad LDPE plast och denna förpacknThis thesis provides an understanding and overview of the opportunities and challenges to enable a sustainable use of individual polybags used in the retail-industry. This was done by conducting a qualitative analysis including literature reviews, semi-structured interviews and e-mail correspondence. A common material choice for individual polybags is the fossil-based LDPE plastic and this packagi
Rapid urbanization has placed the sustainable development of some watershed ecosystems in jeopardy. In order to achieve sustainable urban development, it is vital to identify the coupling mechanisms between urbanization and the ecological environment quality. This study establishes indicators to evaluate the Jiulong River Basin’s urbanization and ecological environment systems. These are utilized
Solceller är en eftertraktad teknik för att mildra de globala klimatförändringarna. Samtidigt finns det en växande oro att denna teknik är både skadlig för miljön och orättvist fördelad i världsekonomin. Forskare och miljöaktivister är oeniga i frågan om en global maktrelation är ofrånkomligt kopplad till solcellsteknik. Denna avhandling undersöker i vilken utsträckning de globala sociala och mateSolar photovoltaic (PV) technology is one of the most favored means of mitigating climate change. At the same time, there is a growing concern over how this technology is both environmentally harmful and unevenly distributed in the world economy. Researchers and environmentalists differ on whether a global relation of power is inherent in solar technology. This thesis investigates to what extent t
Rapid deforestation is a major sustainability challenge, partly as the loss of carbon sinks exacerbates global climate change. In Cambodia, more than 13% of the total land area has been contracted out to foreign and domestic agribusinesses in the form of economic land concessions, causing rapid large-scale land use change and deforestation. Additionally, the distant drivers of local and global env
