Although Cyprus and Spain initially emerged as the strongest opponents of engaging with Kosovo, driven by fears over the implications for their independence movements, their practices have since unexpectedly diverged. Therefore, the following research question is posed: What factors explain the differences in Cyprus's and Spain's engagement with Kosovo since its declaration of independence
This thesis examines how conduct generated through corporate organisational structures may be translated into individual criminal responsibility under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. It focuses on aiding, abetting or otherwise assisting the commission or attempted commission of international crimes under Article 25(3)(c). The question is how corporate involvement in internati
Även om det internationella straffrättssystemet vilar på ett grundläggande uppdrag att sätta stopp för straffriheten för de allvarligaste brotten, är det rättsliga ramverket för den Internationella brottsmålsdomstolen (ICC) fortfarande strikt begränsat till åtal mot fysiska personer enligt artikel 25. Samtidigt har multinationella företag i allt högre grad blivit föremål för nationella åtal för siWhile the international criminal justice system is anchored in a foundational mandate to end impunity for the most serious crimes, the statutory framework of the International Criminal Court (ICC) remains strictly limited to the prosecution of natural persons under Article 25. At the same time, multinational corporations have increasingly been subject to domestic prosecutions for their role in int
Den kriminalpolitiska debatten har under de senaste åren till stor del handlat om de unga lagöverträdarna. Barn under 15 år utnyttjas av den organiserade brottsligheten till att begå grova brott till följd av deras särbehandling inom straffrätten. Dessa barn har ännu inte uppnått straffbarhetsåldern men kan likväl begå brott i juridisk mening enligt svensk rätt. Sedan år 1964 har det funnits en möThe debate on criminal policy has in recent years largely been about young offenders. Children under the age of 15 are exploited by organised crime in order to commit serious crimes as a result of childrens special treatment in criminal law. These children have not yet reached the age of criminal responsibility but can still commit crimes in the legal sense according to Swedish law. Since 1964, th
This research analyses how the European Commission uses 13 press releases and political guidelines as institutional instruments to advocate its own agenda, presenting itself as a rational actor that uses different powers to achieve its political goals and enhance its own actorness. The transition from technocratic rhetoric demonstrates that enlargement is no longer seen merely as a technical proce
Who decides how many fish may be caught in European waters, and on what legal basis? These questions lie at the heart of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), the framework through which the European Union exercises its exclusive competence over the exploitation and conservation of marine biological resources. Its governance is structured around two distinct legal bases in Arti-cle 43 TFEU: Article 4
Globalized economics have resulted in intricate global value chains carrying systemic risks of adverse human rights impacts. To address this, the EU adopted the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) in June 2024, establishing mandatory human rights due diligence for covered companies. However, following a regulatory simplification agenda aimed at reducing corporate administrativ
Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka hur miljöförsvarare kan skyddas inom EUrätten i utövandet av civil olydnad. Syftet baseras till stor del på- och inspireras av Guidelines on Peaceful Environmental Protest and Civil Disobedience som Specialrapportören för miljöförsvarare under Århuskonventionens nyligen har publicerat. Vidare bygger uppsatsen på ett antal internationella konventioner för att undThis graduate thesis aims to examine possible avenues for protection for environmental defenders exercising civil disobedience within the EU legal framework. The aim is based on and inspired by the Guidelines on Peaceful Environmental Protest and Civil Disobedience published in 2025 by the Special Rapporteur on Environmental Defenders under the Aarhus Convention. Further, the graduate thesis buil
Uppsatsen undersöker de rättsliga förutsättningarna för förlängt uppehållstillstånd för unga vuxna som tidigare beviljats uppehållstillstånd som barn på grund av anknytning till en förälder som är bosatt i Sverige. Syftet är att analysera den rättsutveckling som lett fram till situationen med tonårsutvisningar och de resultat som rättstillämpningen leder till. Migrationsöverdomstolens avgörande MIThis thesis examines the legal conditions for granting extended residence permits to young adults who were previously granted residence permits as children on the basis of family ties to a parent residing in Sweden. The purpose is to analyse the legal developments that have led to the phenomenon of “teenage deportations” and the outcomes produced by current legal practice. The Migration Court of A
This study examines the individual’s role and responsibility in Swedish total defence and crisis preparedness. Using securitisation theory, the study analyses how the state has constructed contemporary security threats and defined the individual’s role and responsibility in preparing for and countering these threats. The study combines the securitisation theory with a multimodal discourse analysis
This thesis provides an in-depth exploration of how the EU’s resilience-building initiatives for the Eastern Neighbourhood have evolved against Russian hybrid threats since 2022. Russian invasion of Ukraine significantly altered the security order on the continent, reshaping the EU’s perception of its own security. In response to increased hybrid threats, the EU has employed extraordinary regulato
This thesis aims at analysing the political representation of young political candidates and how their representation may vary depending on municipality types. Furthermore, the paper seeks to highlight how youth are sidelined on the party lists in terms of ballot placement. Using a quantitative approach, Swedish electoral ballots from the municipality election of 2022 are studied to distinguish ho
Water is essential to human life, health, and livelihoods, and access to safe and clean water is recognised as a fundamental human right. Yet water scarcity remains a pressing global challenge affecting billions of people, with women being disproportionately affected. In Kenya, where around 80 percent of the land is classified as arid and semi-arid (ASAL), water scarcity is a persistent and deeply
This thesis aims to examine how resilience can contribute to the understanding of state governance of municipal civil preparedness in Sweden. Against the backdrop of a worsened security environment, climate-related risks, pandemics and other cross-border crises, issues concerning preparedness and societal resilience have become increasingly central in both research and policy. The study is conduct
Sverige har uppmärksammats internationellt för sin aktiemarknad av bland annat EU-kommissionen. Samtidigt har farhågor lyfts av akademiker där s.k. emissionsarbitrage beskrivs som ”riskfri överavkastning” för professionella aktörer på bekostnad av vanliga sparare. Syftet med uppsatsen är att under-söka samt analysera gällande normer om god sed på aktiemarknaden som finns beträffande riktade nyemisSweden’s stock market has attracted international attention, including from the European Commission, while researchers have at the same time warned that so called issuance arbitrage can give professional investors “risk free excess returns” at the expense of ordinary savers. This thesis examines the norms of good practice that apply to directed new share issues in order to clarify when such issues
This thesis investigates the extent to which the European Commission has emerged as a meaningful actor in the European security landscape by examining its response to Russian hybrid threats in the Baltic Sea Region in an increasingly uncertain geopolitical landscape marked by the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Has the role of the Commission fundamentally changed? Does the Commission continue to operate
This study examines whether Swedish arms exports have become increasingly shaped by security-policy considerations during the period 2020-2024 compared to 2014-2019. The study is based on a quantitative panel design which aims to analyze Swedish exports of military equipment in relation to geographical, political, institutional and economic factors. The theory used in the study is neorealism com
Föremålet för uppsatsen är frågan om hur immaterialrättsliga fel bör bedömas inom ramen för svensk köprätt, med särskilt beaktande av att KöpL saknar en uttrycklig reglering av denna feltyp. Inom den klassiska köprättsliga systematiken skiljs mellan faktiska fel, rättsliga fel och rådighetsfel. Immaterialrättsliga fel intar emellertid en särställning, eftersom de inte utan vidare låter sig inordnaThe subject of the thesis is the question of how intellectual property-related defects should be assessed within the framework of Swedish sale of goods law, regarding the fact that it lacks an explicit regulation of this type of defect. Within the classical system of sale of goods law, a distinction is drawn between factual defects, legal defects, and defects relating to restrictions on use. Intel
In 2024, a historically low birth rate of 1,43 children per woman was documented in Sweden, which is the lowest figure since measurements began in 1751. The Tidö government has therefore appointed the state-inquiry Utredningen för en framtid med barn. In the state-inquiry, the declining birth rate is presented as an economic crisis whose solution is a return to a higher fertility rate. In this pap
Renewed scholarly interest in the category of history within the field of International Relations has prompted a revival of the so-called English School and its analytic emphasis on the concept of international society. This study examines the expansion of nineteenth century European international society through the theory of legal reception applied to the cases of Japan and the Ottoman empire. M
