Vi måste prata med varandra om miljön och om vad vi kan Environmental communication is essential for success in the efforts to prevent or adapt to climate change. This is important at all levels but municipalities often seem to fail at this task. Therefore the aim of this study is to find out what good environmental communication means, what factors affects the quality and whether it is the municipalities or the residents that are lacking in commitment

The following thesis is examining compliance with EU-law from a member state perspective. The variation in the compliance level between the member states from 1995 to 2005 is analyzed to prove the fact that the Nordic member countries during the measured time period experienced a low number of infringements. The infringements that did occur were resolved faster and more efficient in the Nordic cou

Abstract Cities are once again becoming the locus of economic, social and political processes. The effect of these processes on the city is two-fold: one one hand they threaten to fragment and dislocate the city and the actors within them, on the other hand they give actors within cities new opportunities to react and mobilize resources towards different strategies of integration. The latter give

Social workers are challenged to meet the client’s needs, while responding to the organization’s resources and the law in the society. This results in a stressful work environment, with overwhelming work pressures. Furthermore, the study aimed to explore how the soc
