Participation in urban development processes is increasingly demanded by citizens. In fighting for the ‘Right to the City’ urban social movements are acting as representatives of citizens and are incorporated within a complex network of power relations between several stakeholders involved.

This thesis is a historical study concerned with the impact of North Sea oil on British politics during the 1970's and 80's. Vast quantities of oil sedimented beneath the waves within the UK continental shelf – hundreds of miles of the north-east coast of Scotland – attracted oil barons and transnational majors to the hostile waters of the North Sea in the early 1970's. It was Margaret
This thesis was done in collaboration with, and on behalf of, One Nordic AB. The purpose was to examine the system One Demand, a system used for sampling measurement data, to begin the development of a new version of the system. The new system is comprised of two parts, a central unit and a graphical user interface. The first step was to find a single board computer, on which the computer program
It is difficult to prepare for events with large-scale consequences and low probability. Simulation exercises (SimEx) provide the opportunity to improve preparedness through strengthening capabilities before an actual emergency. Conducting a SimEx could be very expensive and therefore the SimEx should be thoroughly evaluated. Action plans (AP) determine the relevant recommendations to be implement
ABB Machines in Västerås, Sweden develop, sell, and manufacture generators and large electric motors worldwide. During the past years new competitors have emerged from a lower output range and some customers have reduced their demands in order to reduce the generator costs. In order to meet these changes in the market ABB Machines has developed a new pre-engineered standardized generator that allo
This thesis attempts to explain why the military is still a powerful political institution/force in Pakistan. Its purpose was to test a hypothesis that the colonial authority structure along with partition (1947) oriented structural dynamics provides an important structural construct to explain politics and the military in post-colonial state of Pakistan.

This thesis investigates the political-economic context that underlies the Korean Emissions Trading Scheme (KETS). The idea of trading carbon as a commodity in the carbon market has been embraced by many regions to reduce carbon emissions and to mitigate climate change. The government of South Korea has started to implement the emissions trading mechanism since 2015 to curtail the national greenho
Buildings are sometimes raised in the vicinity of risk objects such as hazardous industries and routes used for transportation of hazardous goods. To compensate for the increased risk level risk reducing measures can be implemented. However, the planning and construction process is long and complex, and for these measures to be implemented they must somehow be conveyed through this process. The pu
Since the Lisbon Treaty failed in strengthening the EU’s global actorness – not least within Russia’s sphere of interest – the EU has been described as ‘a global actor past its peak’. However, following Azerbaijan’s aggressions on Armenian sovereign territory in September 2022, Armenia invited the EU to deploy a CSDP mission in the country. Since Armenia is one of Russia’s closest allies and CSDP
Efforts to address climate change through a just transition are critical, as they not only mitigate environmental impacts but also provide an opportunity to rectify existing societal inequalities. This study examines Denmark as a highly developed economy with an advanced welfare state to identify potential gaps and untapped potential in its green transition. By conducting a thematic content analys

The city of Malmö in Sweden, facing the consequences of ever-so-present pluvial floods, has set an objective to increase the use of multifunctional Nature-based Solutions (NBS) in its urban stormwater planning. Nevertheless, despite evidence pointing at the
