This study examines how climate policy is discursively constructed in Sweden through a qualitative document analysis of electoral manifestos from the Social Democratic Party (SAP) and the Sweden Democrats (SD) between 2014 and 2024.

Cuban Medical Internationalism constitutes a prime example of healthcare cooperation within South-South Cooperation. While having a lengthy historical tradition driven by solidarity, it was subjected to human rights concerns regarding its physicians employed abroad. As these experiences are embedded in broader structures of inequality, they resemble the concept of structural violence. The study, t
The disconnect that exists between what ‘should’ be prioritized in global governance and what actually is, is manifested in many fields, and it becomes shockingly apparent in global dealings with ‘climate vulnerable’ countries like Bangladesh. Of these fields, this particular study has scrutinized the development aid sector's conceptualization of 'climate issues' in Bangladesh using An
This thesis examines the market access barriers faced by small-scale producers in Bolivia, with a focus on Chiquitania, Los Valles Cruceños, and Zongo. Drawing on 15 semi-structured interviews with producers, vendors, university staff, and institutional actors, it analyses how structural, institutional, and relational barriers shape not only producers’ ability to reach markets, but also their abil

Det svenska ränteavdraget är en omdiskuterad skattepolitisk åtgärd som ofta anses bidra till både hög skuldsättning och driva upp bostadspriser, samtidigt som det underlättar för hushåll med svag ekonomi genom minskande boendekostnader. Det finns osäkerheter kring vilka ekonomiska konsekvenser som sker vid avskaffande, särskilt på lokal nivå. Ränteavdraget är ett avdrag som minskar den skatt du b
Sweden has long presented itself as a principled donor. Yet the simultaneous invocation of human rights vocabulary alongside increasingly restrictive practices in Sweden’s post-2022 Palestine policy has not been systematically examined. Between October 2022 and the end of 2025, the bilateral Palestine strategy was replaced by a regional one and partner organisations were placed under review. This

In light of global patterns of youth disengagement from farming, agri-entrepreneurship emerges as an opportunity for youth to reconnect with agriculture. This research investigates the experiences of young agri-entrepreneurs in Nepal.

The new policy document, the Reform Agenda ‘Development Assistance for a New Era – Freedom, Empowerment and Sustainable Growth’, introduced in December 2023, signals a reorientation of Swedish aid. It places development cooper

Brottsbekämpande myndigheter använder sig ibland av okonventionella utredningsmetoder för att tillmötesgå en alltmer komplex brottslighet. Ett exempel på en sådan metod är användningen av provokativa åtgärder, som innefattar hemliga utredningsåtgärder eller brottsprovokationer. Ur ett effektivitetsperspektiv är det obestridligt att tendenser i brottsutvecklingen nödvändiggör mer sofistikerade arbeLaw enforcement authorities occasionally employ unconventional investigative techniques in response to increasingly complex forms of criminality. One such technique is the use of covert and provocative measures, including undercover operations and police incitement. From one standpoint of effectiveness, it is indisputable that developments in criminal activity necessitate increasingly sophisticate
