I takt med att världen globaliseras allt mer uppstår också nya typer av utma-ningar. Skatteplanering och skatteflykt orsakar idag stor skada på länders skattebas. För att motverka detta har OECD sedan 2013 arbetat med ett pro-jekt som kallas för BEPS (Base Erosion and Profit Shifting). BEPS består av 15 åtgärder för att motverka erodering av skattebasen och vinstallokering. Projektet har beskrivitAs the world becomes increasingly globalized, new types of challenges arise. Tax planning and tax evasion continue to cause significant harm to the tax bases of countries. To combat this, the OECD has been working on a project called BEPS (Base Erosion and Profit Shifting) since 2013. BEPS consists of 15 actions aimed at countering the erosion of the tax base and profit shifting. The project has b

This study aims to highlight the ideological aspect of the incumbent crisis of the European center-right. It does so by analyzing election manifestos from national elections between 2012 to 2022. The study parties are Christlich Demokratische Union Deutschlands (CDU) of Germany and Les Républicains of France. The study makes use of theories regarding party competition. The applied method is an ide

This thesis investigates Sweden’s foreign policy roles concerning aid and weapon exports from 2015 to 2023, using Yemen as a central example to illustrate a Swedish paradox. Despite significant Swedish weapon sales to conflict-afflicted nations, Sweden maintains substantial aid contributions to these same countries. Employing a scientific methodology, this study conducts a case study utilizing qua

Building on the assumption that foreign policy is a changeable and inconstant process, this study presents a descriptive analysis of the change and development of Sweden’s and Denmark’s foreign policy discourse regarding the USA, China, Russia and Turkey between 2018 and 2023. The method used in the study consists of a discourse analysis, which enables a systematic description of the change in for

This thesis examines how the concept of liberty has changed in the three liberal parties represented in the Swedish parliament. The starting point of the thesis is the former right-wing government Alliance for Sweden, and its election manifesto from the year 2006. The manifesto of 2006 is then compared with the manifestos of the former liberal Alliance-parties from the election of 2022. The partie

Dansk Folkeparti gjorde ett succeval 2015 när de blev Danmarks näst största parti med 21,1 % av rösterna. 2022 gjorde de sitt sämsta valresultat någonsin med 2,6 %. Syftet med denna studie var att förstå varför ett av Europas största ytterhögerpartier tappat sitt väljarstöd över denna relativt korta period. Detta är synnerligen intressant eftersom att forskning idag främst intresserar sig för ytte

This research investigates the research question "How has the discourse surrounding female political leadership developed in Sweden between 1998-2018?". By applying a critical discourse analysis onto a set of 64 articles about seven political leaders from the years 1998 and 2018, this study aims to investigate developments and differences in the discourse longitudinally. Using a theoreti

Till följd av covid-19-pandemin har frågan om regeringen bör få utökade normgivningsbefogenheter under fredstida kriser diskuterats flitigt. Den 27 november 2023 föreslog en parlamentariskt sammansatt kommitté i betänkandet SOU 2023:75 att regeringen bör få utökade normgivningsbefogenheter under allvarliga fredstida kriser. I huvudsak föreslår kommittén både att regeringen ska få lov att bemyndigaIn the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic the issue of whether the Government’s regulatory power should be increased in times of peacetime crises has been widely debated. On November 27, 2023, an all-party Committee proposed in the report SOU 2023:75 that the Government should be given increased regulatory powers during serious peacetime crises. In essence, the Committee proposes both that the Rik

The 21st century has witnessed a revival of authoritarian and populist leaders, a new wave that has fundamentally changed the political landscape, earning it the title: The Age of the Strongman. This evolving style of leadership has been driven by “angry white men”, notably strengthening masculinity as a symbol of political authority. However, in recent years, the strongman archetype has met a ris

En grundläggande utgångspunkt i den svenska straffrätten är att straffansvaret är individuellt; en person kan enbart straffas för vad den själv gjort, inte för vad någon annan gjort. Brottsliga gärningar begås emellertid ofta av flera personer gemensamt. I sådana fall kan samtliga personer dömas i medgärningsmannaskap för att ”tillsammans och i samförstånd” begått brottet. Domstolarnas tillämpningA fundamental principle in Swedish criminal law is that the criminal liability is individual; a person can only be held accountable for their own actions, not for the actions of others. However, criminal acts are often committed jointly by several individuals. In such cases, the individuals can be convicted in co-perpetratorship for having committed the crime "together and in mutual understan

Rätten till utbildning är en grundläggande mänsklig rättighet vilken skyddas av internationell rätt. Rättigheten skyddas av flera instrument. Artikel 13 och 14 i ICESCR anses dock utgöra dess kodifiering. Majoriteten av skyldigheterna i ICESCR ska implementeras progressivt enligt artikel 2(1) i konventionen. Detta gäller även för rätten till utbildning. CESCR har dock utpekat vissa skyldigheter soThe right to education is a fundamental human right protected by international law. While included in several instruments, Article 13 and 14 of the ICESCR is viewed as the codification of the right. Most of the obligations of the ICESCR should be implemented progressively as stipulated in Article 2(1). This includes most obligations relating to education. However, the CESCR has stated that some pa

Riktade nyemissioner är vanligt förekommande på den svenska aktiemark-naden. De används bland annat som ett alternativ för bolag att snabbt och kostnadseffektivt ta in kapital och att tillföra bolagen externa investerare. Be-fintliga aktieägare har dock enligt huvudregeln företrädesrätt att teckna nyemit-terade aktier i bolaget, och en riktad nyemission innebär en avvikelse från denna huvudregel. Directed share issues are common in the Swedish stock market. They are used, among other things, as an alternative for companies to raise capital quickly and cost-effectively and to attract external investors. However, exist-ing shareholders generally have preferential rights to subscribe to newly is-sued shares in the company, and a targeted share issue deviates from this gen-eral rule. Therefore

Mellan 1934 och 1975 steriliserades över 60 000 personer och en övervä-gande majoritet av dem var kvinnor. Den lagstiftning som låg till grund för ingreppen hade som syfte att förhindra ”mindervärdiga individer” från att bli föräldrar. I flera fall skedde steriliseringen utan ett frivilligt samtycke från pa-tienten. Uppsatsen syftar till att skapa en förståelse för varför och hur en så-dan lag kunBetween 1934 and 1975 over 60 000 individuals were sterilized in Sweden and a predominant majority of the patients were female. The legislation which allowed these procedures intended to prevent “inferior individuals” from hav-ing children. In many cases, the operations took place without voluntary con-sent from the patients. The purpose of the thesis is to understand why this law was passed by th

Using a discourse theory and postcolonial approach, this thesis examines how nature is constructed in the EU and India’s Nationally Determined Contributions to the Paris Agreement. Looking at how nature, a fundamental concept in global environmental politics, is articulated, this thesis adds to our understanding of climate politics in the context of colonialism and the North-South divide. Deconstr

This paper examines the influence of feminist foreign policy (FFP) on official development assistance (ODA) targeting gender equality and women’s empowerment in Canada, France, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Spain, and Sweden. A growing number of governments worldwide have adopted FFP in contextually relevant ways, but previous research treats FFP and ODA as two separate concepts. This pape

This thesis investigates the economic engagements of China and the European Union in the East African Community, focusing specifically on Kenya and Uganda. The study aims to compare how China’s and the EU’s investments in infrastructure projects influence the region and whether these actions can be perceived as attempts to establish dependency relationships. Using a mixed-method approach, combinin

I Europeiska unionen kan namn på produkter med ett specifikt geografiskt ursprung skyddas. Idén om att vissa produkter har särskild kvalitet, särskilda egenskaper eller särskilt rykte som ett resultat av deras geografiska ursprung har ett starkt fäste i Europa. Genom EU:s reglering av geografiska beteckningar kan skydd beviljas för produkter som härstammar från ett visst geografiskt område och somIn the European Union, product names with a specific geographical origin can be protected. The idea that certain products have a specific quality, characteristics or reputation because of their geographical origin is well established in Europe. The EU regulation of geographical indications allows protection to be granted to products originating in a specific geographical area and which, as a resul

This essay aims to evaluate the visions of the culture policy of the Swedish municipality of Norrköping during 2023. In Norrköping the municipal council has decided that costs for various parts of publicly funded culture are too high. Therefore they consider privatizing these institutions or making them perform commercial works to a larger extent. The study uses a normative method, where a norm ha

År 2018 trädde den nya förvaltningslagen i kraft. Den nya lagen var en revision av 1987 års lag och i samband med lagändringen tillkom en ny be-stämmelse, dröjsmålstalan. Dröjsmålstalan är avsedd att få ett ärende hos en förvaltningsmyndighet avgjort inom fyra veckor när sex månader har passerat från ansökan av den enskilde. Den nya bestämmelsen tillkom bland annat för att Sverige hade ett åtagandIn 2018, the new Swedish Administrative Procedural Act came into force. The new act was a revision of the previous Administrative Procedural Act from 1987. With the 2018’s Administrative Procedural Act came a new provision, the delay action, which made it possible for an individual to de-mand a verdict before an administrative authority within four weeks when six months have passed from the indivi
