Nature-based Solutions (NBS) are one of the approaches to the regeneration of urban areas. These solutions are copied from, inspired by, or supported by nature. The solutions, ideally, result in multiple benefits to the society and environment. The examples of NBS measures for stormwater management are, including but not limited to, natural swale, retention ponds, and green roofs. Such measures ha
Fredsavtalet mellan Colombias regering och Farc-gerillan som skrevs under 2016 bemöttes med lovord då det bland annat sågs som det första jämställda fredsavtalet i världen. I denna uppsats analyseras fredsavtalet med en feministisk kritisk diskursanalys och hoppas kunna bidra till debatten kring jämställdhet i Colombias fredsprocess. Uppsatsen utgår från en feministisk teoretisk grund med termer s
User-generated social media content has been increasingly used in mainstream news.

Beskattning av den digitala ekonomin har varit en av de mest centrala delarna i den internationella skattekontexten under det senaste decenniet. Digitaliseringen har gett upphov till nya affärsmodeller som har lett till ett ökat tryck på det internationella skattesystemet som inrättades på 1920-talet. Eftersom dagens internationella skatteregler inte har anpassats till den digitala affärsmiljön, fThe taxation of the digital economy has been the leading topic in the area of international taxation in the last decade. The ongoing digitalisation has introduced new business models which have led to increased pressure on the international tax system, which was established in the 1920s. As today’s international tax rules have not kept pace with the unique conditions linked to digital business mod
Rysk-amerikanska Emma Goldman och kinesiska He-Yin Zhen kom från två olika delar av världen och var aktiva inom olika kunskapstraditioner och kulturer. Ändå var de båda anarkister som kämpade för kvinnlig frigörelse, och båda var de kritiska till de samtida rörelserna som stred för kvinnors politiska rättigheter. Det finns få studier som jämför tidig amerikansk feminism med tidig kinesisk feminismRussian-American Emma Goldman and Chinese He-Yin Zhen came from different parts of the world, and thus weren’t active within the same knowledge systems and cultures. However, they were both anarchists fighting for the liberation of women, and both were strongly criticising the contemporary women’s suffrage movements. Few comparisons have been made between early Chinese feminism and early American
This thesis explores the way how far-right populist movements manifest themselves through social media. It approaches the problem by taking a political psychology perspective of ontological security which informs the behavioural need of an individual and groups to search for stable identity narratives to create a secure feeling of biographical continuity. The theoretical assumptions further incorp
The current state of our environment is alarming. Increasing natural disasters worldwide and rising pollution levels made a conventional economic growth model illogical to abide by. Alternative growth models are of actuality, with the Green Economy being the most popular. Defined by UNEP (2011) as a “low carbon, resource efficient and socially inclusive” economy (p.9), it raises interest among the
When acidification of soils and lakes got acknowledged in the 1960’s, it soon became one of the biggest environmental issues in northern Europe. Long-range transport of sulphur and nitrogen emissions caused acid rain to fall thousands of kilometers away from its source. South-western Sweden was one of the areas most affected by acidification. One of the lakes affected is Lake Gårdsjön, situated ab
Since ascending the French presidency in 2017, Emmanuel Macron has been faced with numerous foreign policy challenges. Two of his most puzzling challenges have been the relationships with Russia and the United States. Accordingly, the aim of this paper was to study the ways in which Macron rhetorically has navigated France vis-à-vis Russia 2017-2025 and the United States under Donald Trump, in lig
This thesis explores whether the EU’s newly launched Citizens’ Engagement Platform (CEP) can enhance young people’s intention to participate in representative democracy and whether it reinforces or challenges the EU’s liberal demoi-cratic model. Workshops with Swedish upper secondary school students, developed and analyzed using Ajzen’s Theory of Planned Behavior, served as the empirical basis. Fi

Regime change is considered essential for sustainability transitions. An important source of regime change is pressure from alternative innovations developed in niches and the actors involved. Governments often play an important role in such niche-regime interactions and affect whether, and how, this results in regime change. However, an overview of the various roles governments can play with resp
