Studien tar avstamp i det komplexa och invecklade förhållandet mellan sociala rörelser och medier. Medan medierna är en del av det etablerade samhället är de sociala rörelserna politiska aktörer som önskar utrymme i medierna för att deklarera politiska strategier och på så vis nå fram till mottagarna och senare bilda opinion.

I den här uppsatsen gör vi en jämförelse av tre teoretiska perspektiv som förklarar orsaker till etniska konflikter. De tre teorierna är primordialism, konstruktivism och instrumentialism.

The starting point of this study is to reach at better and more e
This paper takes its starting point with the enormous public attention that blogs got in 2008 regarding the “FRA” debate. In the media there is a consensus that the blogs influenced the parliamentary debate concerning the new law proposal.

Denna uppsats undersöker hur individen framställs i ett körutbildningsmaterial med tolkningsföreträde, publicerat av Sveriges Trafikskolors Riksförbund.
