The aim of this study is to compare and analyze different conflicts in order to

This thesis’ focus is upon accountability in a compacting governance context – the VSOPP-collaboration between the nonprofit organization Stadsmissionen and the public authority Region Skåne.

I min uppsats har jag studerat hur förtroendet för åklagaren har påverkat åklagarrollen och åklagarprofessionen. Jag har i uppsatsen utgått ifrån ett utvecklingsperspektiv där jag dels har tittat på rättsutvecklingen i form av hur åklagaren har fått allt större befogenheter och behörighet och dels har tittat på hur åklagarprofessionen påverkats i form av legitimitet, auktoritet och autonomi. Vid mIn my essay, I have studied how confidence in the prosecutor has influenced the prosecutor’s role and the prosecutorial profession. In the essay, I´ve used a development perspective, where I looked at both the legislative development, where the Prosecutor has received increasing mandate and privileges, and at the development of the prosecutorial profession in terms of legitimacy, authority and aut

Oerhörda mängder varor kommer till EU:s gränskontroller varje dag. Kontrollerna bör hanteras snabbt och effektivt för att attrahera handel med vår union – och samtidigt hålla goda standarder vad gäller kontrollen av säkerheten och lagligheten av de produkter som förs in i EU. Problem kan uppstå då misstankar väcks om att varor under transit - trots angivelse om slutlig destination utanför EU – komAn incredible amount of goods arrive at the EU border controls everyday.

As foreign investments are conducted to a larger extent on the African continent and governments as well as corporations from the Western world are profiting from the countries’ resources, cases of exploitation of vulnerable groups are likewise being observed. These cases indicate how parties with great, economic power occasionally use their superior position when negotiating with, for example, ru

This is done in turn done by looking at the resistance among the environmental movement as well as grassroots organizations that arose around the proposal to build a pipeline called Keystone XL made by the Canadian oil company TransCanada in 2008.

Under de senaste åren har lagstiftningen avseende allvarliga våldsbrott kommit att ändrats. Den 1 juli 2014 kom bestämmelsen i 3 kap. 1 § Brottsbalken (BrB) att skärpas på nytt och syftade till att fängelse på livstid i betydligt större utsträckning skulle utdömas. Lagtekniskt innebar ändringen att det i straffskalan för mord lades till att straffet för mord bör bestraffas med livstids fängelse ”oThe provision in the Swedish Penal Code Chapter 3 section 1, which regulates the penalty for murder, has been altered several times during the recent years.

Under international law, a government of a state is entitled to the sovereign right to invite another state to intervene militarily on its territory. This type of consensual use of military force is an exception to the rules on prohibition of use of force among states, and unlawfulness is precluded through such governmental consent. The extent to which a government is entitled to invite has been d

Den gränsöverskridande handeln spelar en central roll för EU-samarbetet, men offentliga upphandlingar är fortfarande en i huvudsak nationell angelägenhet. I en alltmer globaliserad värld kommer dock gränsöverskridande upphandlingar att spela en allt större roll. Likaledes kan gränsöverskridande samarbeten mellan upphandlande myndigheter komma att öka, för att kunna dra nytta av den inre marknadensCross-border trade is of special significance to the European cooperation, but public procurement is still mainly a national concern. Cross-border joint public procurement will play an even larger part in a more global world. Such collaboration between contracting authorities may also increase, in order to derive maximum benefit from the potential of the internal market in terms of economies of sc

Due to the refugee crisis that evolved in 2015, the Swedish Government introduced a new refugee policy in order to decrease the number of asylum seekers arriving in Sweden. This new refugee policy resulted, among other things, in a temporary law that limits the possibilities to receive a residence permit in Sweden. The temporary law has received a great amount of criticism from several consultatio

Att ingå långvariga avtal är förenat med vissa svårigheter, speciellt eftersom det är problematiskt att på förhand förutse framtida omständigheter som kan komma att påverka ett avtal. Som utgångspunkt gäller pacta sunt servanda och möjligheten att förändra ett redan ingånget avtal har varit starkt begränsat i princip alla rättsordningar. I svensk avtalsrätt är det främst 36 § AvtL som kan användasTo enter long-term contracts is subject to certain issues, especially because it may be difficult to prospectively foresee future circumstances, that may affect the contract. The main legal principle that applies is pacta sunt servanda but the possibility to modify a contract has always been very limited in almost all legal systems. In Swedish contract law, it’s mainly the general clause 36 § AvtL

Since the 1970’s there has been several attempts within the UN at drafting a binding instrument on business and human rights. Up until today, none of the attempts at adopting binding standards have succeeded, with the only successful initiative being the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights – a voluntary set of guiding principles meant to further the respect for human rig
