This thesis explores contradictions, inadequacies, and competing formulations within Giovanni Arrighi’s theory of systemic cycles of accumulation (SCAs) as a Kuhnian scientific paradigm. This has been carried out through a comparative study on how the theory has been applied by scholars on the issue of the prospective hegemonic rise of China in the contemporary setting. The study finds that there
Det är en obehaglig realitet att i Sverige döms oskyldiga personer för brott de inte har begått. Statistiskt sett händer det sannolikt mycket sällan men över en tillräcklig lång tidsrymd är det oundvikligt. Detta trots den lagstadgade oskyldighetspresumtionen som ger den som är misstänkt för ett brott rättigheten att betraktas som oskyldig till dess att motsatsen har bevisats. Högsta domstolen hIt is an uncomfortable reality that in Sweden innocent individuals are sentenced for crimes they have not committed. Statistically, it happens most likely very seldom but, given a sufficient length of time, it is unavoidable. The Swedish Supreme Court has in NJA 1980 p. 725 expressed the evidentiary requirements for convictions in criminal cases. The guilt of the accused must be beyond reasonable

Why is it that Finland hasn't produced crime shows and films at the same level as their noridic neighbours? How come it is first now that a finnish crime series is reaching worldwide distribution thanks to Netflix? I take a closer look at Karppi and talks with Rike Jokela, the creator of the show about the term Nordic Noir and why Finland hasn't been producing Noir productions earlier.

Vidare är målet att undersöka vilka idéer om det svenska medborgarskapet som betänkandets konceptualisering av integration bygger på och ger upphov till. Genom att belysa och undersöka detta ämnar uppsatsen begripliThis master thesis in gender studies analyses how integration and Swedish citizenship are conceptualised in the official governmental report A Common Concern (SOU 2020:46), written by the Commission on Equality.

Hemlig övervakning är något som myndigheter uppskattar i sitt arbete mot brottslighet, men den kan även vara problematisk då den hamnar i konflikt med det grundläggande fri- och rättigheter som omfattar skyddet av den enskildes integritet. Bakgrunden i uppsatsen redogör för den personliga integriteten med koppling till lagar om tvångsmedel och därefter presenteras maktteorin utifrån Foucaults makt
