This thesis is concerned with investigating the Roma, a group that is left out in most of the territory bound theories. The theoretical purposes are to develop theories that increase the understanding for the Roma as a diasporic nation without state and the advocacy networks they are organised in. The main empirical purpose has been to study two organisations as cases and how they position themselves against the European Union concerning identity politics. The two organisations are European Roma Rights Centre (ERRC) and Dzeno. They are a part of the same network that works on different levels with the rights of Roma.

Denna studie grundas på huruvida media har blivit mer dömande än granskande i sina rapporteringar om högt uppsatta politiker över en tidsperiod på 20 år. Det som har granskats är tidningars rapportering då en högt uppsatt politiker bestridit över lagen. För att få en grundlig vetenskap om hur media fungerar i vårt samhälle är uppsatsen uppbyggd på kapitel som naturligt leder fram läsare till analysen. Till analysen har artiklar använts från två Svenska rikstäckande tidningar såsom Expressen och Dagens Nyheter. De politiska händelser som analyseras är Ebbe Carlsson- affären från slutet av 80- talet, Mona Sahlin från 90- talet och slutligen Laila Freivalds från 2000- talet.

AbstractDet finns skolor som anser att den japanska förhandlingskulturen och den kinesiska förhandlingskulturen är identiska med varandra. De sympatiserar för Raymond Cohens berömda klassificering om högkontextuella förhandlingskulturer. Enligt denna klassificering innebär det att förhandlingskulturerna i fråga inte skiljer sig åt. Men det finns andra skolor som anser att det är fel. De kritiserar klassificeringen och menar att den är för generell vilket medverkar till att olikheter inte framställs.Jag ska försöka konstatera vilka av dessa motpoler som har rätt.

De flesta individer, myndigheter och samhällsinstitutioner erkänner idag att mäns våld mot kvinnor är ett stort samhällsproblem. Det finns emellertid inte någon gemensam syn på orsakerna till våldet, och som en följd av detta inte heller kring vilka åtgärder som är lämpliga att vidta. En uppdelning av förklaringsmodeller kan göras i dels avvikelseperspektiv som fokuserar på faktorer genom vilka våldsmännen avviker från icke våldsamma män, dels könsmaktsperspektiv som fokuserar på den strukturella obalansen i makt mellan män och kvinnor.I det svenska samhället har vi gått från en situation där avvikelseperspektiven ensamma har dominerat till ett läge där könsmaktsperspektivet vinner ökat inflytande. Regeringen har tillsatt utredningar som fokuserar på det sistnämnda perspektivet i utredandet av mäns våld mot kvinnor. Emellertid har utvecklingen inte inneburit att alla myndigheter och samhällsinstanser tagit till sig detta i samma utsträckning.

This thesis deals with the supranational organization of European trade unions. The European trade union movement is, via its umbrella organization the ETUC, an institutionalized social partner within the European Union. The ETUC is a very diverse organization with great potential of conflicting interest among its members. This thesis therefore seeks to explore the dynamics and interest heterogeneity of the ETUC. Drawing on previous research and literature it formulates a number of hypothesises to test what variables that influence the member organizations policy preferences (i.e.

Böckerna Imperiet (2000) och Multitude (2004), skrivna av Michael Hardt och Antonio Negri, har skapat stor debatt i politiska sammanhang, i synnerhet inom den globala rättviserörelsen. I böckerna presenteras en teori som beskriver den nya världsordning som vi idag lever i. Hardt och Negri anser att världens medborgare ? mängden ? lever under en ny global självständig politisk enhet som de kallar för imperiet. De menar att nationalstaternas suveränitet har kringskurits av de trans- och övernationella institutioner och organisationer som vi ser i dagens globaliserade värld och deras suveränitet har således övergått till imperiet.Man kan se referenser till Hardt och Negris teorier i delar av den globala rättviserörelsen, där begrepp som imperiet och mängden förekommer.

At this point seamen have a lot of tasks of administrative character, beyond the traditional tasks aboard a ship. Due to the new conventions that are formed by IMO, more requirements are added which often lead to time consuming administrative tasks and documentation that should be spent on activities which are contributing to the ships safety. The issue has been observed by IMO that has through BIMCO done a study with the aim to identify and reduce administrative burdens at sea.The primary aim of this study is to find out if safety officers aboard Swedish ferries consider that SOLAS Chapter III, 8.3 och 19.5 regulations are administrative burdens, restricted to muster lists and documentation of training aboard the ship.The secondary questions to the study are if it is possible to remove, combine or change the documents and how much time can be saved by doing this. The question about timesaving could not be answered, because the values were scattered and could not be used for further investigation. The observed values were accumulated by a survey and the result indicated that safety officers did not experience the two regulations as administrative burdens.

This Bachelor Thesis is entitled "WTO-spelarena för utvecklingsländer? En studie om avgörande faktorer för utvecklingsländers förmåga att implementera sina regimpreferenser". Through our empirical results in conjunction with realist theories, this Bachelor thesis attempts to answer the questions: (1) How does the decline in American power, the nature of existing institutional structure and Third World unity, influence the ability of developing countries to secure its preferred regimes? (2) What function do informal meetings in the WTO have? (3) How does access to informal meetings influence the ability of developing countries to secure its preferred regimes? The paper makes use of case studies from the Ministerial meetings in the Doha development round.The conclusion is that access to these meetings is an important variable to explain the extent to which the Third World can be able to secure its preferred regimes. The degree to which developing countries can secure their preferred regimes is therefore a function of four variables: the nature of existing institutional structures; Third World unity, the attitude and power of the United States and foremost access to informal meetings..

In classic academic social studies of East Europe, terms as Communism and Post-Communism are commonly used to describe the main characteristics of this geographically imagined area. This paper makes a not so frequently seen attempt to apply Post Colonial Theory for the same field. With start point in Post Colonial theoretical writers, the author wants to find a East European Post Colonial version for the internal Europe which will supply tools for a discourse analysis of the European mind map divided into West and East. The material consists of interviews with three Swedish and three Czech officials, all working with European politics in their country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The analysis is carried out with inspiration of Ernesto Laclaus and Chantal Mouffes Discourse theory.

In the late 20th century there has been some changes in the public sector. These changes are described as New Public Management. When ideas from the private market is transferred to the public sector, for example to regard citizens as cus-tomer. Central in this paper is the use of term customer in the Swedish public sec-tor. There are two questions in the paper; which possibilities has a disappointed customer to effect the public sector, and what may happen with democracy, the common good, when the citizen becomes a customer?To answer the questions I study two different cases, Svedala kommun and the tax department, Skatteverket.
