Co-production between public administrators and citizens has attracted renewed interest in recent years. Co-production is predominantly perceived as something desirable and is claimed to improve service efficiency and outcome and user satisfaction, at the same time as addressing democratic ideals.

District heating and cooling systems offer a cost-effective and secure supply of heating and cooling to connected buildings. They are widely recognised as a key solution to decarbonise the building sector due to their high potential of integrating renewable energy sources. The systems traditionally involved generating heating and cooling centrally with distribution through separate pipes before de
In the last years we have witnessed an increased number of experimental performances that engage with children. Shows made in collaboration and/or performed by children. Children on stage, children as our tour guides through cities, children leading us though darkness. There are many ways to analyze this ‘interest’ including curatorial schemes encouraging participation, funding agendas, institutio
The UK Hydrogen Strategy (August 2021) and subsequent Heat and Buildings Strategy (October 2021) affirm that a strategic decision is set to be taken by 2026 on the prospect of residential decarbonisation via ‘hydrogen homes’.

This paper explores how the rising problematization of flying changes the meanings of holiday air travel in a carbon-constrained world. Using travel magazines and digital media sourc
Critical scholarship on the intersection of development pathways and climate change responses highlights the roles of power, agency, social difference, intersecting inequalities, and social justice in shaping people's resilience in a rapidly transforming world. Yet, how to precisely increase the spaces in which people experiencing marginalisation can address power asymmetries and strengthen their
The lead intervention article argues that the new reality of the planetary organic crisis awaits a normative critical social theory of planetary politics, a means of understanding the sharing of relationships within International Relations and an agenda for action in concert found in the normative power approach. The article and subsequent 20th anniversary special issue provide an opportunity to r
Whilst the most obvious impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the early 2020s was the physical illness and its consequences, the systemic impact was also wide-ranging. In countries where there were sustained periods of ‘lockdown’ or ‘sheltering in place’, public concern was expressed about the educational, emotional, and social impact for children and young people, in both the short and long term. At

För domstolar finns det grundläggande principer som ska prägla domstolsar-betet under hela processen från start till slut. Dessa principer finns i syfte att bland annat upprätthålla rättssäkerheten på en hög nivå, vilket i sin tur är tänkt att garantera de tvistande parterna en rättvis och lika behandling.

However, these principles are not always fully adhered to. For instan

The focus of this thesis is to examine how the civic identity of the second-generation migrants in Italy is constructed through media representations of migration, citizenship, and national belonging. Previous studies focused on migrants’ integration, which was based on their socio-economic situation, mobility, and assimilation process. I argue that these approaches are insufficient to explain how
As humans, we experience many spaces/ borders throughout our life flow. The borders of countries, the houses we live in, the borders of a playground, or the borders between two people. Sometimes we shape the borders, sometimes the borders shape us. However, irrespective of the circumstances, these borders exert discernible influences on the trajectory of our life flow. Each of our border experienc
