In all the different shapes democracy have presented itself throughout history, the newest must be the one of e-democracy. Like all other forms of democracy, edemocracy is heatedly debated within the field of science. In this thesis, I explored e-democracy embodied as e-petitions. I did so by performing a qualitative case study about Lundaförslaget, the new e-petition system in the town of Lund. I

Beslutet om en svensk inkorporering av FN:s barnkonvention röstades igenom av riksdagen i juni 2018. I denna avhandling har syftet varit att utreda tänkbara konsekvenser av en inkorporering av barnkonventionen i svensk rätt. För att avgränsa uppsatsen något har jag valt att inte koncentrera mig på enskilda artiklar, utan undersöker det större perspektivet och mer övergripande syftet med konventionThe decision on a Swedish incorporation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child was voted through by the Swedish parliament in June of 2018. The purpose of this paper was to investigate possible consequences of incorporating the convention into Swedish law. In order to delimit the thesis somewhat, I have chosen not to concentrate on individual articles, but to examine the greater perspecti
Samerna är urfolket i fyra länder i de norra delarna av Europa: Finland, Norge, Ryssland och Sverige. Denna uppsats behandlar deras rättsliga ställning i Finland och Sverige. Fokus ligger på de ur folkrätten härstammande och för urfolk centrala begreppen självstyre och självbestämmanderätt, och hur dessa rättigheter har behandlats i Finland respektive Sverige. Särskilt behandlas, och jämförs, ländThe Sami people are the indigenous people in four countries in the northernmost of Europe: Finland, Norway, Russia and Sweden. This thesis examines their legal status in Finland and Sweden with focus on two important concepts in international law: indigenous people’s right to self-determination and autonomy and how these rights have been handled in Finland and Sweden with the Sami’s, especially re
Workplace health promotion has been gaining a lot of interest, as it could benefit both employees and organizations. Results and conclusions are, however, still ambiguous and there is not much known about how employees’ participation and perception affect positive work outcomes. The present research aims to examine the link between employees’ participation and perception of workplace health promot
The movement of a rock glacier located at the bottom of the Foxfonna glacier, Svalbard, Norway, was studied through the use of photogrammetry and feature tracking software, between the years of 2017-2019, as well as elevation changes between 2009 and 2019. This could aid in further knowledge about the rapid velocity changes of rock glaciers in a continuous permafrost environment. It was found that

The unfavourable social and economic situation of Roma in the EU has been on debate for decades. There are several efforts at the national and international level to improve the social and economic situation of Roma as many of them still face deep poverty and discrimination.

In response to growing social injustices in cities, bottom-up initiatives are increasingly recognised as sites of resistance and experimentation. I examine how the PARKS project in Hamburg, a temporary, collectively governed green space, challenges neoliberal urban development and envisions socially just green spaces. Adopting a case study approach, I draw on semi-structured interviews, participan
Carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) is set to play a key role in decarbonization. Most of the technologies are yet to be seen on commercial scale. Denmark is in the process of establishing some of the first large-scale CCUS value-chains. Through a combination of document analysis and interviews, I study the ideas driving the current roll-out of CCUS in Denmark. To do this, I make use of
This paper analyzes Chinese aid allocation from 2013 to 2021 and compares it to traditional as well as emerging donors. In 2013, China launched the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) which is considered one of China’s most ambitious development initiatives in the 21st century. To explore how the BRI reshaped China’s motives for aid allocation, I employ a two-part model to explain not only which countr
In the face of a potential oncoming environmental collapse, in a time of increasing climate anxiety and activist disillusionment towards previous environmental efforts, I look at how a radical environmental activist group becomes and stays radical. By combining deviant and dramaturgical perspectives on social movements with Goffman’s classic work "The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life&quo
