The Silenced Minority: Using the Concept of Political Efficacy to Explain LGBTQ Patterns of Political Participation in a Politically Homophobic Context

Previous research suggests that political efficacy can explain the relationship between political homophobia and political participation, since it captures the behavioural implications of misaligned demands in relation to state outcome. This thesis investigates whether political efficacy can explain LGBTQ patterns of political participation in a politically homophobic context, which remains unexam

European geopolitical cloud forecast: balancing efficiency and power

Increasing cross-Atlantic tensions have raised concerns that the United States may leverage European digital dependencies for political gain. This has made the EU’s dependence on US cloud providers increasingly politically salient, as cloud infrastructure forms a central part of the European digital economy and may create vulnerabilities to geopolitical coercion. This thesis examines how the EU ba

Social Cleavages, Conflict, and the Fates of Autocratic Regimes

This article focuses on two specific social cleavages, ethnic and economic inequality and analyses their respective effects within autocratic regimes. The primary mechanism that was tested was the relationship between these two, and non-state conflict, (defined as a conflict with more than 25 combat fatalities, and the state not directly taking part). The results show support for a positive correl

The Eco-Villains and the end of popcorn movies - A discussion on the perception of climate activism in films and in the general debate

This thesis explores the perception of climate activism in films and in the general debate. By focusing on scenes in which the spectator goes through an allegiance shift towards the character of the eco-villain, I highlight a link made between the cinematographic and the non cinematographic world. My aim is to analyze the relationship between the scenes of the chosen films and the non cinematograp

Crisis, Control and Contradictions: The EU-Turkey Agreement and the Fragility of Normative Power Europe

The European Union regularly portrays itself as a normative power committed to values such as human rights, solidarity, and the rule of law, while the EU Turkey Statement of 2016 has raised questions about the coherence between this self-image and the EU’s external migration practices. This thesis investigates how the Statement is linguistically legitimised in political and media discourse, as

Kenya Between Giants: Dimensions of Cultural Power

China’s and the EU’s presence in Africa is regularly debated, but mainly with an economic focus. This paper aims to broaden the perspective of foreign influence and cultural neo-imperialism, specifically in the context of Kenya. This study examines whether China’s and the EU’s actions in Kenya can be understood as expressions of cultural neo-imperialism. Using a qualitative thematic analysis (TA),

Trust in government in Sweden and Denmark during the COVID-19 epidemic

Did the different public-health policies that Sweden and Denmark pursued in the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic result in different levels of public trust in governments’ and health authorities’ ability to guide the two countries safely through the pandemic? How did the level of trust change as the pandemic unfolded? And were there any cross-country differences in the correlates of trust? Using

Interactions between Hg and soil microbes : microbial diversity and mechanisms, with an emphasis on fungal processes

Abstract: Mercury (Hg) is a highly toxic metal with no known biological function, and it can be highly bioavailable in terrestrial ecosystems. Although fungi are important contributors to a number of soil processes including plant nutrient uptake and decomposition, little is known about the effect of Hg on fungi. Fungi accumulate the largest amount of Hg and are the organisms capable of the highes
