The purpose of this thesis is to examine the United States’ influence on the international community’s ability to prohibit the Rwandan genocide of 1994. Over the course of 100 days government forces and Hutu militia implemented an elimination campaign with the main objective of ethnically cleansing Rwanda of the Tutsi minority, and effectively slaughtered 800,000 civilians.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the values involved, and the values which I believe should be presented in the African Charter. The overall aim is thus to broaden the understanding of the statute by examining if it meets the criteria of the values and argue for the values with similar magnitude which are not mentioned in the Charter but in my opinion should be included and at the same time

This thesis deals with justice in urban planning and development. In 2010 the municipal board in Gothenburg initiated a workgroup to create a vision which had the purpose to serve as a platform for further development in the central part of the city and to deal with the pattern of increasing segregation and polarization. “Vision Älvstaden” includes the development of the former dock area Frihamnen
This thesis compares Auto Regressive Moving Average (ARMA) and Generalized Auto Regressive Conditional Heteroscedacity (GARCH) models for three metal commodities. ARMA models have an unconditionally non-random and constant variance, which typically serves well in effectively representing homoscedastic data. The GARCH models feature variable variance that is non-random when conditioning on the past

How China interacts internationally can affect human rights inside and outside its borders. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to understand China’s interaction with the United Nations Human Rights Council and its member-states. The analysis was constructed on the basis of two processes, socialization and norm shaping. These processes follow the constructivist ontology of agent and stru
Urban planning is not only a matter of architectural trends; it is first and foremost political. This thesis seeks to understand the links between political ideas and visions for the city and the physical structure of the city. The study aims to construct a model to help understand these links, a helpful tool in analysing a city, focusing on the one hand at the physical structure of what I call &q
Objective To study if the Swedish venture capitalists consider business plans in their screening process, and in such case, what aspects they evaluate in order to develop a targeted template for Swedish entrepreneurs. A secondary objective is to describe what other factors Swedish venture capitalists evaluate as a part of their assessment. Methodology The method, which has been used in order to te
On all levels of government, politicians try to find solutions to our environmental problems. Municipalities in countries create action plans according to the Agenda 21, approved in 1992. This agenda encouraged the involvement of citizens from below and many took that to their hearts. Lund municipality in Sweden is one of them. The theory used in this thesis is deliberative democracy. It is a
This thesis explores the state of regional cooperation, particularly in the field of security, among Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden (Norden). The author examines correlation between a set of socially constructed factors and the creation of a common Nordic profile in a regional security organization, the OSCE. Formally, Norden is divided in the EU and the non-EU members, but unofficia
The planning process involves the production of a vast amount of data by different actors. During the evolvement of a detailed development plan the municipality relies on data from geographic information system (GIS), while the developer produces data by building information modeling (BIM). The development of systems for GIS- and BIM-data have been parallel and for different purposes. The municipa
How do governments allocate scarce resources in the face of political survival? Do they allocate according to social equity or welfare criteria, or do political concerns play a role? Over the course of three decades, the literature on distributive politics documented numerous cases where governments distributed goods and services strategically for electoral gains. By building on the theories of di
In this thesis I analyze how the politicians of a small Swedish town experience the role of the city officials in the decision-making. This I do by interviewing several politicans in the City Council. I discuss what classical bureaucratic theories and theories about experts say about the officials’ role in the decision-making. I also include what the law says about the issue. The problems that occ
This thesis is a comparative case study of the Norwegian and Swedish Sami communities' power in the licensing process for wind turbines on their land. The study aims to identify the Norwegian and Swedish Sami communities' power and whether it differs between the two countries. Robert Dahl's theory about power and influence is employed to approach the question. Based on Dahl's three
