Förändring av folkrätten vid bekämpning av terrorism med militära medel
The terrorist attack that shocked the world the 11th of September 2001, when two hijacked aircrafts flew into the World Trade Center's twin towers in New York, came to change the world view for many people especially Americans that felt that the world around them where about to collapse. A new time had begun, a more frighten one. A new kind of terrorism where seen in the dawn, a kind that never had been more evil, and there for was passed to be extremely dangerous. The United States followed by the United Kingdom decided quickly to declare war against the terrorism. Unavoidable this decision led to the development of new interpretations of public international law when the US where unwilling to follow the rule of law.
INTERNATIONELLA POSITIONER OCH NATIONELL KORRUPTION En kvantitativ studie om icke-permanent medlemskap i FN:s s?kerhetsr?d och upplevd korruption
Previous research has shown that non-permanent membership in the United Nations Security Council is associated with increased international influence, diplomatic leverage, andexternal resource flows. However, existing studies have primarily focused on the external consequences of membership, while its potential domestic effects remain largely unexplored. Drawing upon a principal-agent perspective, this study examines whether membership in the Security Council is associated with higher levels of perceived corruption. The studyinvestigates whether Security Council membership may alter domestic incentive structures by increasing political actors? access to resources and strategic opportunities.
EU:s normativa makt inom miljöområdet : En fallstudie om EU:s roll i det globala klimatarbetet
Over the past twenty years, the cooperation within the European Union (EU) has strengthened and expanded with both more number of Member States and stronger influence on international politics. The unique character of the Union and its ability to enforce peace and humanitarian intervention has attracted attention in political science. This prominent position of the Union is perceived by many scholars who often hold this derived from the Union's influence in international relations. Various terms have been used to define the powers of the Union. The British researcher Ian Manners states that the unique identity of the Union in the international arena is formed by its normative power. An important policy area within the Union is the environmental cooperation.
Samhällsbyggare eller samhällsomstörtare : katoliker och judars syn på immigrationen till USA kring sekelskiftet 1900
This thesis examines Jews and Catholics views on immigration to the United States in the late 19th century. It is qualitative analysis of how immigrants and immigration is treated in two different magazines, The American Jewess and Catholic World. The findings are then put in the context of contemporary nativist ideas. This thesis states that both The American Jewess and Catholic World are, principally, in favor of immigration and do not want to restrict immigration at that time. Catholic World is somewhat more open to the idea ofdiscussing harder immigration laws but the overall tendency in both magazines is that immigration is not a problem to the United States.
Mänsklig säkerhet i Sudan- För vem och mot vad?
The concept of security is a contested one. The United Nations definition in UNDPs Development report of 1994 is the most authoritive and commonly cited. The civil war in Sudan has led to 2 million deaths and over 5.5 million refugees. In a resolution from 2005, the UN decided that the war in Sudan was a threat to international security and peace. The 10th of January UN decided that a peace commission ought to be send with 10 000 military and civil men including 700 policemen.The main purpose of this thesis is to improve our knowledge of those factors which can cause an increased risk of conflict within a state, and how that can affect the social conditions for individuals.
Kulturell påverkan på koncept
Dagens film och spelkoncept inom genrerna science fiction och fantasy börjar likna varandra mer och mer och för oss känns inget längre annorlunda. Genom att basera dem på historiska samhällen och kulturer hoppas vi på att bryta normen. Vi hoppas att med detta som grund kunna skapa realistiska och trovärdiga folkslag som skiljer sig från det som funnits tidigare. Detta examensarbete handlar om konceptutveckling av en fiktiv värld och tre fiktiva folkslag. Konceptet skall kunna appliceras på både film och spel men även litteratur eller andra medietekniska områden.
Det förlovade folkhemmet? : en studie av svensk civilreligion speglat i socialdemokraternas retorik 1928 - 2008
The aim of this paper is to apply Robert N. Bellahs theory of civil religion, within a Swedish societal context. Bellahs theory was designed in, and influenced by American culture. Therefore, the ?translation? of Bellahs theory does not come without problems.
Omvärlden och Burma : En fallstudie av mänskliga rättigheter i EU: s och USA: s utrikespolitik
The aim of this paper is to describe and explain which policy instruments for human rights (HR) the United States and the European Union use towards Burma and to examine the priority given to HR in their respective foreign policy. From the results of an empirical analysis this paper seeks to analyze the US and the EU as powers in the international system and aims to explain their behavior from this theoretical perspective. From the theoretical approaches used I conclude that these actors act in different ways regarding the Burmese issue. This is partially due to the structure of the international system. Both actors primarily use different forms of diplomatic tools and sanctions to try to force change for HR in Burma.

Klassning av fjällbjörkskog enligt FAO:s definition av skogsmark med hjälp av flygburen laserskanning
Sweden?s forestry legislation was updated in 2010 and a new definition of forest land was introduced. This definition was adapted to the one used by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) for international statistics on the state of the world's forests. It is in short based on the lands ability to grow forest that reaches 5 meters, 10 % canopy closure and has a continuous distribution, according to FAO at least 0.5 hectares. A country-wide laser scanning is now carried out for the production of a new national elevation model; the laser data also provides information on forest height and density.
Begränsning av inomobligatoriskt skadestånd : Adekvansläran, direkta och indirekta skador samt förutsebarhetsformeln - tre sidor av samma mynt?
Principen om fullt skadestånd utgör utgångspunkten vad gäller beräkning av skadestånd som uppkommer med anledning av kontraktsbrott. Ett skadestånds omfattning begränsas dock på olika sätt genom olika skadeståndsbegränsande metoder.Några skadeståndsbegränsande metoder som gäller enligt dispositiv rätt är adekvansläran, köplagens indelning av skador i direkta och indirekta sådana samt förutsebarhetsformeln i United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, Vienna 1980. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att analysera vilken eller vilka av de nämnda skadeståndsbegränsande metoderna som bäst kan anses motsvara målen med att skadeståndsskyldighet för parter i kommersiella köpeavtal över huvud taget begränsas.Den av Jan Hellner anförda målanalysen används för att identifiera de i rättskällorna nedlagda ultimära målen, annorlunda uttryckt syftena eller anledningarna, med att skadeståndsskyldighet ska begränsas. De identifierade ultimära målen utgörs av ett mål om att uppnå en ekonomiskt effektiv riskfördelning, ett mål om att åstadkomma jämställdhet mellan avtalsparter samt ett mål om att eftersträva största möjliga rättssäkerhet.Den av de analyserade skadeståndsbegränsande metoderna som bäst motsvarar de identifierade ultimära målen är förutsebarhetformeln. Att förutsebarhetsformeln är den metod som bäst motsvarar de ultimära målen har i grund och botten att göra med att metoden är den av de analyserade metoderna som begränsar en avtalsparts skadeståndsskyldighet i störst omfattning..
Hållbar vattenplanering : en diskussion med utgångspunkt ur fyra bristområden
Billions of children, women and men lack access to safe water supplies, whichputs the affected in both social as well as economic despair. This paper willpresent some of the conclusions leading Non Governmental Organisations suchas the UN has presented recently concerning the terms of sustainability. Much ofit is true and important, but nothing can be done without extended cooperationbetween nations worldwide to find arguments that prevent short-term thinkingand economic wealth on the behalf of future sustainability.With a growing population and an increased competition for fresh water, theworld will soon face a severe shortage of good quality water for irrigation. This isbecause the distributions rarely match the demand, neither in Australia nor inAfrica. Important to notice is the major factor that the degradation of theenvironment is not one country?s problem to solve.

TheSustainable Development Goals of Agenda 2030 are universal and require both global andlocal efforts in order to be achieved. Education, and particularly Education for SustainableDevelopment (ESD), is considered a cornerstone in this work.Kenya is a country facing challenges in achieving the goals due to deeply rooted corruption.The corruption in the country is not only regarded as an economic issue, but also contributesto severe social challenges. ESD can therefore be considered especially important in thiscontext.The aim of this study is to examine teachers? perceived impacts of the ESD-inspirededucational material YesWeAre in schools in Nairobi.
