An employee that informs on illegal or unethical behavior in the workplace is what has been called a whistleblower. Employees that have become whistleblowers have often faced tragic consequences, like threats from the organization, unemployment, bankruptcy and divorce. The purpose of this paper is, on the basis of different ethical perspectives to describe the justification of the whistleblowing p
In this work I have examined how two violin students, who are used to the classical music tradition, think when they learn to play Swedish folk music, with focus on rhythm and beating the time with their feet. One of the students is studying on her first year to be a classical violin teacher and the other student is studying on her third year to be a classical musician, both are studying at Malmö
The civil war in Sierra Leone was a very complicated conflict, both in its origin as well as in its realization. Many actors, along with the diamond trade, played vital parts in making the war carry on for a decade. In this paper I will try to clarify the relations between the actors and the diamonds, first and foremost the part the diamonds played in the conflicts start and continuation. I will a
Cultural change and modernization should directly undermine traditional patriarchal norms and, by stimulating industrialization, should indirectly set off a series of socioeconomic changes favorable to women, and together these changes should give women more autonomy, resources, and a sense of self-sufficiency, thereby resulting in a marked improvement in the status of women. (Lee&Clark 2000:
I examine the impact of several determinants on foreign direct investments (FDI) by conducting a regional analysis with a particular focus on Belarus. I estimate a panel data model for 16 Central and Eastern European and ex-Soviet Union member countries in a cross-country framework over the 2002 to 2006 time period. The determinants chosen for the empirical model represent macro-economic and trade

The biopolitical agenda hosts some of the most heated debates in the current political situation. Despite the fact that it is a field of growing relevance for society, few have heard of the ideologies and idéas that constitute biopolitics. This might be explained by the insight that biopolitics is still breaking relatively new political ground. As we slowly progress towards the future, the import
Old trees in cemeteries are often designated trees with "high conservation value" (in Swedish: särskilt skyddsvärda träd), which means that they are important for biodiversity. The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency has created an action plan to conserve those valuable trees in the Swedish culture landscape to preserve, for example, red listed species (often insects, lichens, mosses
September 11th 1973 a coup d’état was taking its place in Santiago, Chile. The coup did not only lead to the death of the socialist, demo-cratically elected president Salvador Allende, it was also the start of a new, dictatorial era in Chile. The commander-in-chief, Augusto Pino-chet, was now the new president dictator of Chile, whose 17-year-old reign of terror led to deaths, disappearances and t
The main purpose of this essay was to find whether there was a significant correlation between RCA in agricultural products and growth in GDP per capita, in the countries of Sub-Saharan Africa. I used a modified version of the Solow model to estimate the presumptive relationship, and to see whether there is any convergence in growth between the countries. Due to lack of reported numbers I did not
In this study the Swedish democratization process is being examined with the help of three modern democratization theories. In order to find out which modern theory best can be applied to the Swedish case two Swedish books, covering the time of interest are being examined. The two books are standard works used as political-historical course literature at Swedish universities. Results show that non
I den här uppsatsen analyserar jag förhållandet mellan lag och moral inom området väpnade konflikter, med fokus på två kontroversiella typer av våld: förebyggande krig och humanitär intervention. Vilken rättslig ställning humanitära interventioner har är oklart – FN-stadgans språk är avvisande men en mer tillåtande norm kan vara på väg att utvecklas i sedvanerätten. Beträffande förebyggande krig äIn this thesis, I analyze the relationship between law and moral in the field of armed conflict, focusing on two controversial uses of force: preventive war and humanitarian intervention. I find that the legal status of humanitarian intervention is uncertain; it is hard to reconcile with the language of the UN Charter, but a more permissive norm may be developing in customary law. The legal status

Through constructivist analyses this paper highlights and contrast two identity contructions which are of great relevance for the European integration of today.

This essay intends to map how different values are expressed at different levels of the European trade policy. Prima facie, European trade policy may seem very liberal and as advocating of free trade. This, however, is not entirely true. Within some areas, e.g. agriculture and food policy, EU applies a stricter attitude towards free trade. I believe this to be a consequence of the different priori
This thesis discusses Ireland’s rapid economic growth in the 1990s, in order to place in in the context of contemporary globalization debate. A great deal of the growth has been cited to stem from the state’s encouragement of globalization, in terms of increasing exposure to global markets. I investigate the interactions between the state and market, in order to determine of the economic growth wa
The aim of this master thesis is to examine the energy discourse of the EU. For this purpose history of concepts and discourse analysis is used. I show that the EU energy discourse is undergoing a change in the formulation of the Lisbon Treaty through the use of the concept of solidarity. This can be seen as the giving of a social dimension to the discourse and hence, a social dimension to the fut
