Within the international human right law scholarship and philosophy of human rights, there is no clear picture how human rights, old and new, emerge from the ground, from the small idea that a new human right is needed. There is no theory why and how human rights emerge, as well as there is no methodology how the idea could come through the process of development, then emerge as a human right in t
When hearing the word ‘terrorism’ something will come to mind, whether it is images from 9/11, 7/7 or any other attack, pictures from terrorist camps in Syria, or something else related to terrorism.

Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is quickly moving from mere imagination to material reality. As I write, billions of dollars are flowing into this nascent industry from government, philanthropy, and venture capital; this thesis thus attempts to grasp history as it flies. By employing a Marxist theoretical approach, including concepts like the real subsumption of nature and the spatiotemporal fix, I d

Byggandet av en organisation som externt uppfattas som trovärdig och legitim är av stor vikt för att långsiktigt värna om organisationens överlevnad. Detta görs exempelvis genom att kommunicera om organisationens hållbarhetsprestationer och visioner, och utgör grunden för hur organisationen följaktligen uppfattas av sina intressenter. Genom att vd:n väljer att kommunicera om organisationens hållba
The matters of economic growth and climate change are both widely subjected to discussions and policymakers are under immense pressure to make decisions that enhance economic growth and stop climate change. Policies that ensure economic growth have traditionally had a negative impact on climate change and vice versa. It is therefore important to study how various policies can address the connectio

Genom att betrakta den svenska skogsvårdslagen med tillhörande förordningar och föreskrifter ur ett klimatanpassniClimate change has been considered as the great threat of our time.

Publications have recently drawn attention to archaeology’s historically predominant focus on prestige items and the elite, highlighting the need for a greater focus on society’s lower classes. A few studies have discussed how, or even whether poverty can be addressed in historical archaeology. However, the phenomenon has not seen the same attention in Viking Age studies, despite the great deal of
