New Terrorism has been a highly regarded theory in the field of terrorism since the late 1990s, but how accurate is it in regards to European terrorism in 2010-2018? Are terrorists more lethal, primarily religious, part of transnational and decentralized organizations, and are they using CBRN-weapons? This paper uses a quantitative study, with a descriptive and retroductive approach, of all terror
Economic and racial discrimination goes hand in hand in the case of Syrian refugees in the labour market in Lebanon. Ever since the start of the Syrian civil war in 2011, millions of the Syrian population has fled abroad, most of whom are currently residing in its neighbouring countries, Lebanon, Turkey, and Jordan. Lebanon currently has the largest number of Syrian refugees per capita, putting pr
NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, is a defense coalition that for many years has served to protect the peace and security of many nations. Its capabilities as a collective alliance have predominantly been built on the contributions from its member states, among which the United States undoubtedly has been one of its most foundational components. On the basis of financial burden-sharing
Over the last decades, Sino-African diplomatic relations have undergone various changes, corresponding with China’s strategic objectives in and with the respective countries. Under the Xi administration, China’s approach to diplomacy has focussed on the quest of becoming a major global power while, or rather through, upholding its traditional values. This paper seeks to analyse how the current dis
Bakgrund: I Sverige erbjuds kvinnor mellan åldrarna 40-74 att vartannat år delta i mammografiska hälsokontroller. Deltagandet kan bidra till tidig upptäckt av bröstcancer. Ökad kunskap och förståelse om kvinnors upplevelser i samband med mammografiska hälsokontroller kan bidra till utveckling av strategier för att förebygga negativa upplevelser. Syfte: Att belysa kvinnors upplevelser av ångest och
The left-wing governments that possessed the power of the executive in Latin America for almost two decades are now under duress. The event that has posed the initial threat to the “reign” of the Pink Tide is believed to be the 2015 election of Mauricio Macri in Argentina. This event triggered a chain reaction of conservative changes in government and a backlash against left-leaning dominance. Hav
This study explores the Chinese computational propaganda exploitation during the Covid-19 crisis. By demonstrating the intricacies of this case of computational propaganda utilization, this research attempts to answer an even larger question: How do authoritarian countries incorporate computational propaganda to their soft power strategies. To that end, first; a theoretical bridge was formed betwe
In association with the refugee crisis in 2015, more people sought asylum in Sweden than ever before. The Swedish government initially pursued a relatively welcoming asylum policy with open borders and with a vision of maintaining the right to asylum. This moral attitude towards refugees would subsequently take a turn. On December 9 in 2015, the Bill "Specific measures during serious danger t
De 14 olika urfolken i Ecuador har landrättigheter och rätt till kollektivt självbestämmande. Inom ramen för detta har urfolk också rätt till att utöva urfolksrättiva. Detta innebär att urfolk har rätt att skapa, utveckla och utöva sitt eget rättssystem för att lösa tvister och problem inom det egna sahället, tolkat och applicerat genom egna kulturella värderingar och normer. Denna rättighet finns
För samhällsviktiga verksamheter som drivs av offentliga aktörer finns lagkrav på att utföra risk- och sårbarhetsanalyser, vilka ska innehålla beroendeanalyser. Dock finns det en brist på vägledning gällande utförande av dessa analyser. Ett av de starkaste beroenden som finns i samhället idag är elberoendet. Därför finns ett intresse för att undersöka hur elberoendet analyseras i praktiken inom saIn Sweden, risk- and vulnerability assessments, including dependency analyses, are required by law for public actors who are of vital societal functions or critical infrastructure. However, there is a lack of guidance regarding how to perform this kind of analysis. Electrical power is one of the strongest dependencies of our society today. Thus, it is interesting to examine how the dependency of e
Ecuador has experienced a drastic political transformation since the return to neoliberalism under the reign of president Lenin Moreno. Political contentions between the government, environmentalists, and indigenous peoples have led to increased social resistance, protesting the use of extractivism and other neoliberal policies to increase economic growth and relieve national debt. In 2019, the Wa
Russia has been issuing passports to Eastern Europe and the South Caucasus since the Soviet dissolution. Most targeted are secessionist regions of former Soviet states, whose populations are now becoming Russian due to passportisation. This has had several effects on the Eastern Neighbourhood, including brain drain, meaning that the highly educated and skilled citizens are emigrating. The brain dr
The ICC, which was established in 2002, has come to introduce new legal norms affecting the judicial sovereignty of its member states – a fact that has become especially prominent in regard to states attempting to transition from conflict to peace. With the overarching purpose of contributing to a greater understanding of how the ICC affects and relates to peace processes, this thesis examines the
The art of the October revolution 2019 in Lebanon expresses narrative processes that this thesis argues can be understood as a part of the Lebanese reconciliation process relating to the civil war of 1975-1990. Following an understanding of reconciliation as a process focused on transforming relationships on mainly a societal level, and emphasizing the connection between art and shaping narratives
South Africa is one of the most unequal countries in the world. The issue of land ownership highlights racial and economic inequalities as the country fights to overcome the enduring legacy of apartheid. The Land Restitution Program seeks to redress victims of land dispossession, addressing both national development and individual justice. This paper investigates the prioritization of the processi
24 million people in war-torn Yemen were in 2019 in need of humanitarian aid. Delivery of aid has been hindered by parties to the conflict in what is best described as a strategic weaponization of food. The use of food as a weapon in Yemen requires thorough investigation, but there is a lack of research on the topic. Through a qualitative analysis of the single case of Yemen, this study identifies
This thesis examines how moral discourse concerning FGM/C is articulated by the NGOs Amazonian Initiative Movement (AIM) and Advocacy Movement Network (AMNet) and with what consequences. It is a case study about these two organisations which uses content analysis as the main data collecting and analysing strategy. The theoretical framework describes the contemporary debate regarding FGM/C and cate
Performance measurement has been on the agenda for decades with the purpose of helping organizations understand their organizational progress or lack thereof. However, measuring performance can be complex and result in a waste of resources rather than benefits. The aid sector is characterized by complex stakeholder structures, including volunteers, offshore partners and donors that all affect the
Personer som tillhör flera minoritetsgrupper tenderar att uppleva en speciell typ av diskriminering och utanförskap. Det är ett problem som uppmärksammats genom det så kallade intersektionella perspektivet. Detta perspektiv visar på att det finns en komplexitet i hur mänskliga rättigheter måste definieras för att det ska vara möjligt att främja jämlikhet oberoende av vilka grupper och hur många gr
