Genom en traditionell juridisk metod är syftet med denna uppsats att undersöka utvecklingen av det internationella investeringsskyddssystemet. I synnerhet kommer läran om skyddet för berättigade förväntningar och balansen mellan rättigheter och skyldigheter för å ena sidan investeraren och å andra sidan värdstaten att undersökas. Internationell investeringsrätt har sitt ursprung i europeiska rättsThrough a traditional judicial method the purpose of this paper is to examine the development of the international investment protection regime and the balancing of rights and obligations of on the one hand the investor, and on the other hand the host state. International investment law has derived from European legal systems and it has mostly benefited investors of capital-exporting nations to be

When studying a child’s ability to form an attachment to a parent it has become clear that the caregiving style shown by the person giving it plays a crutial role.

European measures and agreements regarding language policy within Europe and its member states have benefited many language communities, but many linguistic issues within the European Union remain unresolved. The European language policy involves many political, cultural and economic challenges for the Union. It is therefore important to not only point out the significance of a European language

Läkemedelsindustrin är beroende av patent. Rätten till patent möjliggör de nödvändiga investeringar i forskning och utveckling som krävs för att utveckla nya läkemedel och få ut dessa på marknaden. Detta gynnar både konsumenter och samhället i stort. De största läkemedelsföretagen investerar i forskning och utveckling, och är därmed de primära innehavarna av läkemedelspatent. Samtidigt som de störThe pharmaceutical industry is dependent on the granting of patents. Patents make it possible for pharmaceutical companies to invest in the necessary R&D to bring new drugs to the market. This benefits consumers and the health care sector at large. The biggest pharmaceutical companies invest in R&D, and as a result are the major holders of pharmaceutical patents. While the big pharmaceutic

The German transition to renewable energies has so far been an example of a successful energy transition of a major economy. Even though this transition is criticized for being only a half-hearted solution, it is an important example of the attempt of a major economy to transit towards renewable energies and is therefore worth studying in its own rights. Thus, my aim in this thesis is the identifi

Enantioselective synthesis is an important research topic with applications in drug development. Asymmetrical catalysis is one of the available ways of producing enantioenriched products. C2-Symmetric dibenzo[a,e]cyclooctenes or dbCOTs are a family of versatile chiral ligands for transition metals. They display great efficiency and enantioselectivity in 1,2- and 1,4- additions reactions. In this

What happened to the Swedish anti-nuclear movement after the referendum on nuclear power in 1980? Scholars describe a period of ecological modernisation, affecting discourse and structures within environmental organisations and politics, entailing a professionalisation of NGOs.

Nyligen avgjordes ett mål i Arbetsdomstolen som handlade om en barnmorska som inte fått anställning på grund av att hon på religiösa grunder vägrar delta i utförandet av aborter. Hon menar att Sverige, genom att inte tillmötesgå hennes krav och anställa henne trots hennes vägran bryter mot religionsfriheten i artikel 9 och förbudet mot diskriminering i artikel 14 i den Europeiska konventionen om sRecently a case was settled in the Swedish Labour Court. A midwife had lost out on an employment because of her religiously grounded refusal to participate in abortions. Her opinion is that Sweden, by not accomodating her demands so they could hire her despite of her refusal, has breached the right to religious freedom in article 9 and the prohibition of discrimination in article 14 of the Europea

För människan är en grundläggande miljökvalitet en nödvändig förutsättning för liv och livskvalitet. Eftersom vi vill leva är miljökvalitet eftersträvansvärt. För människan är även förutsebarhet en viktig förutsättning då den gör det möjligt att planera sin tillvaro och känna trygghet. För att få förutsebarhet är juridik ett viktigt medel. Det kan dock finnas ett spänningsförhållande mellan juridiFor humankind, an elementary level of quality in the environment is a necessary precondition for life and life quality. Therefore, it is also desirable since we want to live. For humankind, foreseeability is also an important precondition since it makes it possible to plan one’s life and feel secure. In order to get foreseeability, law is an important means. However, there can be a tension between

In recent years the focus on indigenous peoples’ self-determination has been increasing. However, the debate on how to achieve this is rather divided. This study examines whether Slowey’s (2008) theoretical assumption, that market-inclusion leads to increased self-determination, holds in a different context. In the study, the theory is applied to indigenous peoples’ market-inclusion through intell

The expansion of large-scale wind energy projects in the name of climate change mitigation has led to numerous social conflicts in Oaxaca. The Mexican government has put forward environmental policies that envision 35% of the national electricity to be generated by renewable sources in 2024. The urgency to achieve these climate change goals has been used to favor corporate projects that have been

The conflict between humans and elephants (HEC) in Sri Lanka is severe. Due to habitat fragmentation and resource reduction elephants increasingly roam in areas with human settlements. These human-elephant interactions often lead to losses on both sides, which should be prevented. The Department of Wildlife Conservation (DWC) holds all decision-making powers which enables them to implement solutio
