Starting at the end of the Cold War, this publication assesses the impact of the upheavals in Eastern Europe and the atrophic Soviet Union on the Swedish doctrine of neutrality with its 200 year old tradition. Since the end of world war two the proximity of the Soviet Union had constituted the major impetus for upholding a position of neutrality and as this vanished a pressure for change was created. This essay works with a theoretical framework delineated by Kjell Goldmann and under this disposition, the Swedish tradition of neutrality, governmental positions, opposition and four major influential newspapers are studied. The standings of each variable are canvassed in an attempt to explain the development of Swedish security policy during the crucial years of 1988-1992..

The implementation of integration policy has in recent times been a major problem for the municipal administrations in Swedish municipalities. The concept of integration is considered to be very diffuse, difficult to apply and implement the following decisions. To understand the concept of integration is the first step, followed by understanding its complexity in an organization.In this study, I focus on studying the implementation of integration policies for integration work with Kalmar Municipality as a case study. I am using Lundquist's implementation theory about understanding, able and willing. The survey consists primarily of interviews but also a certain document to get a perspective on how integration policy has gone into integration work with the hypothesis that it is the understanding that weaknesses of the officials in the implementation of integration policies.

The ambition of this study is to examine the discussion surrounding the Swedish participation in the European security- and defence policy. By forming feasible areas of arguments the goal is to gain further comprehension in the case of Sweden. These arguments are formed in close relation to the empirical sources; With less public funding there are economic aspects of cooperation, this could also be related to Swedish the industry of defence systems; A high level of participation in the UN is a tradition in Swedish foreign policy, the European battle groups are the perfect tool to further strengthen the UN ability in conflict management and peace keeping missions; Outside the EMU Sweden could face the political margin, to retain influence a high level of activity ought to occur in the integration process; Finally, the future position of United States and NATO is not clear, Europe needs an capacity apart the US to contribute to lasting peace and stability. The arguments are close related to each other, but the main argument is to through ESDP create a tool that will strengthen UN, there is also a wide range of economic arguments related to the industry..

Miljöfrågor har kommit att spela en betydande roll i dagens samhälle, då både människans och organisationers handlade visat sig ha stora effekter på vår miljö. En viktig del i att belysa miljöarbetet är användandet av hållbarhetsredovisningar och specifikt gröna nyckeltal. Problematiken som har påvisats har kretsat kring att organisationer i stor utsträckning rapporterar gröna nyckeltal men att de inte har lett till faktiska miljöåtgärder. Användning av mätetalen har också påvisats olika svårt inom olika branscher. Studien ämnar således undersöka vilka förutsättningar som behövs för ett effektivt användande av gröna mätetal och vilka åtgärder de har lett till samt hur detta kan skilja sig mellan hård och mjuk sektor.

This essay examines the policy process of specialist medical training in three Swedish counties. The essay will first describe the policy process. Secondly the politicians parti-cipating in the process is examined. Thirdly, it is tested whether it is possible to analyze the policy process based on Ostrom's theories of cooperation around a common pool resource. In this case, the common pool resource is specialized medical practitioners skills that the Swedish county councils must collaborate on to competence should be sufficient for the county council needs, something that is not the case today.One conclusion of the study is that the health care law is not clear enough when it comes to who is responsible for providing a sufficient number of specialists.

Demenssjukdom är en degenerativ sjukdom som ofta medför minskat födointag och viktminskning. Undernäring kan leda till trycksår, fördröjd sårläkning och högre dödlighet. Syftet med vår studie var att belysa nutritionsproblematik hos personer med demenssjukdom inom kommunal äldreomsorg. Studien genomfördes med en metod för fallstudie som utgick från fem personer där olika data samlades in. Information hämtades också från involverad personal.

Denna uppsats behandlar politisk förändring i svenska kommuner. Fokus är New Public Management-reformer och specifikt har andelen kommunal barnomsorg på entreprenad studerats. Studien är kvantitativ och består av datamaterial över Sveriges 290 kommuner som samlats av Statistiska Centralbyrån (SCB) under perioden 1998-2005. Teoretiskt utgår uppsatsen från en nyinstitutionell teori. Fyra hypoteser om politisk förändring i svenska kommuner har konstruerats och sedan operationaliserats genom sex variabler; politisk majoritet (blå/röd), kommunstorlek, skatteunderlag och andel barn- och äldreomsorg på entreprenad.

Att lyckas nå fram med sitt budskap är beroende av ett flertal olika faktorer. Till exempel målgruppens förtroende för avsändaren. Hur ska en göra om målgruppen redan innan budskapet förs fram har en skeptisk inställning gentemot avsändaren? Med utgångspunkt i retorikens ethos undersöker jag i denna studie hur en kommunal verksamhet kan använda ethos för att bygga upp sin trovärdighet gentemot sin målgrupp. Genom att ta fasta på verksamhetens kompetens, deras värderingar och välvilja, och lyfta fram dessa i en informationstext om verksamheten, ligger förhoppningen i att målgruppens benägenhet att nyttja verksamhetens tjänster ökar.

Large retirement numbers and fierce competition of available labour, results in municipalities have to be more attractive as an employer. One way for the municipalities to fulfil their staffing requirement is partly to increase their recruitment efforts, and partly to educate their existing employees. Discussions about the supply of competence are therefore pressing within municipal activity. The aim of the study was to investigate how the concept of competence is used within a municipal administration. The method that has been used is Norman Fairclough?s critical discourse analysis, a method that allows multi dimensional analysis.

Today Sweden is both a secular and multi-religious country, of which Christianity historically has been a dominant player. Both processes of individualization and migration have contributed to a changed religious character as the current Swedish social situation represents. An interesting question to consider is how the Swedish school system has been able to adapt to the changed religious climate. This study examines the policy documents for religious education produced for upper secondary school, to see how the role of religion in the processes of individualization and migration, and the changes that these processes have brought the role of religion in today?s society as a whole, are described within them.

Alla verksamheter är i behov av någon form av kontroll och styrning. Ett verktyg som används i såväl privat som offentlig sektor är budgeten, då vanligtvis för ett år. En svaghet som påtalas är den ettåriga budgeteringen anses för kortsiktig. Ytterligare en svaghet med budgeteringen är att vid tillämpning så uppnås inte alltid önskad effekt. Underliggande institutionella antaganden kommer att påverka budgeteringen.
