How has one of the most enduring rivalries in international politics persisted for more than four decades—and why has it proven so difficult to change? At a recent CMES book talk, Dalia Dassa Kaye presented her book Enduring Hostility: The Making of America’s Iran Policy. Drawing on interviews with policymakers, she argued that US–Iran tensions cannot be understood by looking at Iran alone, but mu

Informal networking, panel discussion, and Q&A session. During the forum for LTH's employees last week, Dean Annika Olsson highlighted a selection of recent good news from LTH. The management also discussed some of the key issues for the coming years – including strategic recruitment and the fact that, despite major successes, LTH cannot rest on its laurels in the competition for large grants.

Since its foundation, the WCMM research school has encouraged young scientists to exchange ideas and foster collaborations while keeping up with the latest techniques. Delving into its origins, coordinators Paul Bourgine and Nick Leigh reflect on the genesis of the WCMM Research School. As this year marks the fifth anniversary of the WCMM Research School, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on t

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Currently, it can take weeks and even months to produce results on how the future climate could affect agriculture. Now, researchers at Lund University are looking to change this and have produced simplified models, so-called emulators, to make it simpler – and above all, faster – to link vegetation, finance and clima

Unfair, ineffective, and inefficient. These are some of the moral objections to increasing fuel prices in Sweden. A new study from Lund University identifies how social movements are resisting green transition policies through moral reasoning and argues that their concerns must be both recognised and responded to, in order to achieve a low-carbon future. – If politicians want different climate pol

This year’s report from the V-Dem Institute’s Academic Freedom Index focuses in particular on the institutional autonomy of higher education institutions in different countries, which in turn is fundamental to the protection of individual academic freedom.  This includes countries such as Hungary, which began its steady decline from a high ranking in institutional autonomy in 2009 to a bottom-of-t

Those teaching about climate change and sustainability report that students learning about these topics often feel disheartened, anxious and helpless. Researchers at Lund University together with international experts have co-created a set of exercises designed to give teachers and students tools to transform climate-related stress and anxiety into action and hope. “We have noticed that many of ou

In Sweden, class actions - such as the ongoing Aurora case, where 300 young people are suing the government for failing to implement climate policies - are rare. Too rare, according to the sociologist of law Michael Molavi. He argues that Sweden would benefit from more class actions and that the state should finance the legal costs. On 21 March, Nacka District Court announced that the youth group
