The purpose of this paper is to view Karlstad Municipality and their financial support to non-profit organizations within equestrian sports. Despite the varying representatives of various equestrian sports in Karlstad, there seems to be a single beneficiary within the sport when it comes to financial support from the municipality. The policies and plans concerning cultural development are directly compared to the Karlstad Municipality and its contribution to these organizations within equestrian sports. Through interviews and reports I have studied the process of financial support from the Karlstad municipality using an intersectionality theory based on Nina Lykkes guide on gender studies and feminist theory. Pierre Bourdieu?s theories on field, habitus and capital are also used as a method to enhance the understanding of equestrian sports and its role in modern Swedish society. The conclusion is that the Karlstad Municipality is, for a several of reasons, promoting non-profit organizations within equestrian sports, which are operating as riding schools.

Sverige är idag ett av få länder som fortfarande har kvar ett alkoholmonopol. När Sverige gick med i EU startade en diskussion kring det monopol som Systembolaget har, vilket än idag är aktuellt i flera avseenden. Författarna blev intresserade av ämnet när det offentliggjordes att apotek samt järnvägsmonopolen i Sverige är på väg att avvecklas. Den fråga som ansågs vara aktuell för den egna uppsatsen, var att undersöka hur de lokala livsmedelshandlarna i Karlstad ställer sig till en eventuell avreglering av alkoholmonopolet. Vidare valde författarna att undersöka de kringliggande faktorerna som skulle spela in på en eventuell konkurrens situation, vilket i detta fall var den idag ensamma aktörer Systembolaget, samt Karlstad Kommun då de fick agera talesperson för de förordningar och bestämmelser som i dagsläget finns.
