Johan Matz has published an article in Intelligence and National Security. This article approaches the intelligence dimension of Sweden’s arms exports by going back to three governmental decisions, taken in 1914, 1935 and 1971 respectively, all of which have been pivotal to both the Swedish government’s involvement in arms exports and the emergence of government institutions handling the intellige

In a newly published article in The British Journal of Politics and International Relations, Catarina Kinnvall and Ted Svensson analyse the appeal of far-right populist politics in the everyday and how this appeal is related to continuity and change in the global order. One of their key arguments is that while far-right populism is able to momentarily overwrite a sense of deep-felt anxiety among i

Vilka läxor bör svensk förvaltning ha lärt sig av Coronapandemin? Bland annat att det finns ett tyst men kreativt entreprenörskap i offentlig sektor, och att den öppna svenska strategin inte innebar öppenhet för alla grupper.

Is it possible to put a value on nature and the vital ecosystem services it provides for us? What are the pros and cons of different valuation models? These are the key questions addressed in a new report by IPBES, the UN’s biodiversity panel, to be published on 11 July. The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) can be described as the equivalent

New data by the research infrastructure ICOS confirms that natural carbon sinks such as the ocean and forests are not stable. Climate change makes these sinks more vulnerable, in some cases even turning them into carbon emitters. This compromises current climate targets and action plans, reserachers say. Fluxes, the European Greenhouse Gas Bulletin, is a new publication by the reserach infrastruct

A new study led by Lund University in Sweden shows that cities negatively affect the diversity of birds. There are significantly fewer bird species in urban forests compared with forests in the countryside – even if the forest areas are of the same quality. The researchers examined 459 natural woodlands located in or near 32 cities in southern Sweden. They counted the occurrence of different bird

Effects of a warmer Arctic are not only negative for the climate, according to a new thesis from the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science at Lund University, Sweden. Modelling showed that moving the tree line upwards could increase carbon storage, as trees sequester more carbon in their biomass than tundra plants. But the results are uncertain. The Arctic – the area north of the Arctic Cir

The machines have started rolling in at Norunda and are cutting down trees, one by one. Norunda is Sweden’s oldest measuring station for greenhouse gases and it is unique. Following several decades of being surrounded by a hundred-year-old forest, it will instead be surrounded by a clear-cut. - We expect a significant increase in greenhouse gas emissions, says professor Natascha Kljun at CEC.

New research at Lund University shows that the biological parents’ genes affect the child's insulin function and capacity to regulate blood sugar levels and blood lipids in different ways. Such knowledge may be used to to develop preventive treatments that reduce the child's risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
