Stater är de enda legitima enskilda aktörerna i det internationella systemet. Varje enskild statsträvar alltid att främja sina egna säkerhetsintressen liksom handelspolitiska och kulturellaintressen och staten gör detta genom olika medel som t.ex. diplomati och ekonomi för att baranämna några. Men utöver dessa medel har staten alltid haft förmågan att utöva våldsmakt bådemot andra stater och sina egna invånare. Våldsutövandet har också varit grunden för den modernastaten.

Purpose.The purpose of this essay was formulated as to examine the relationship between the development of deaths caused by unintentional injury and fast economic development in a country. The purpose is to create a picture of the development in the chosen countries.Background.Injuries and the deaths that sometimes follow are a problem for all communities, if nothing else just because of costs and the absence of incomes for the state. Countries ability to restrain these deaths should be of interest. Studies show that the number of deaths causedby unintentional injuries correlates inversely with the GDP/c, we can therefore expect that better economic conditions leads to fewer deaths and vice versa. It has been shown that an economic crisis often leads to considerably higher death rates.

During the last decennium climate issues have become more and more important. Many steps towards an adaption of efficient energy supply systems have been taken all around the world. These steps have been created to ensure the next generation?s energy demand. In EU and Sweden objectives have been set to ensure that the energy consumption decreases by 20% year 2020 and by 50% year 2050 compared with the energy consumption levels of year 1995.

During and after World War II Sweden was spying in the occupied Baltic countries which had been occupied, from 1943 by Nazi Germany and from 1944 by the Soviet Union. It began in 1943, with the Germans still occupying the Baltic countries, when Sweden and its intelligence service ?C-byrån? recruited volunteers among the Baltic refugees in Sweden and sent them back to the countries they had fled from. Many of the Baltic refugees to Sweden were men aged 25-45 so the Swedish intelligence service had a good recruiting source. This started the first period of intelligence operations in the three Baltic countries.

Parallellt med en stark tillväxt av lantbruket i EUs nya medlemsstater har, sedan halvtidsöversynen av den gemensamma jordbrukspolitiken, marknaden för insatsvaror stagnerat i Sverige. I Danmark kan skönjas en liknande utveckling bland annat genom en allt mer reglerad marknad för exempelvis handelsgödsel. Dessutom sker en kraftig strukturrationalisering hos tillverkarna av lantbruksförnödenheter. Den största aktören på den svenska marknaden för insatsvaror till lantbruket är Lantmännen ek för. Motsvarande aktör på den danska marknaden är Dansk Landbrugs Grovvaresellskab a.m.b.a (DLG). Båda företagen är kooperativt ägda av lantbrukare i respektive land.
