Cognitive processes, cognitive psychology tells us, unfold in our heads. In contrast, several approaches in cognitive engineering argue for a shift of unit of analysis from what is going on in the heads of operators to the workings of whole socio-technical systems. This shift is sometimes presented as part of the development of a new understanding of what cognition is and where the boundaries of c

John Kingdon used the role of the policy entrepreneur to theorize what was going on when problems become political issues. In order to fully grasp this process we need to further theorize also the problem stream. What is going on in the problem stream is defining the conditions for coupling done by po

Det finns få lagar inom den moderna svenska skatterätten där debatten varit så livlig som kring Lag (1995:575) om skatteflykt. Både lagens existens och dess tillämpning har av en mängd kunniga personer analyserats, värderats och kritiserats. Bland annat har det ifrågasatts huruvida Regeringsrättens brukande av lagen bidragit till en ökad förutsägbarhet, avseende lagens tillämplighet. Det vill sägaThere are few laws in modern Swedish tax legislation, which have caused such a debate, as the Tax Evasion Act, SFS (1995:575).
