Bolivia is the country who most recently changed its constitution, now with a big focus on

Every day people get killed, starve and suffer in the name of security. There can be no politics without the mention of security.

A definition of t

This may not always go well with the rest of the family and sometimes even lead to hostility in the relati

Vad skulle detta innebära för svensk Polis, sett ur ett tvångsmedelsperspektiv? Toleransen i Sverige gentemot droger är väldigt låg. Narkotikafrågan har under en längre tid varit, och är fortfarande, högprioriterad hos regering ochImagine that we, in Sweden, would legalise the personal use of drugs. It would be legal to snort cocaine, to shoot up some heroine or smoke marijuana. What would this mean for the Swedish law enforcement, from a "means of enforcement" point of view? The Swedish tolerance when it comes to drugs is very low. It has for a long time been, and still remains, a top priority for the governmen
This Master’s thesis investigates how public administrations in Sweden have developed e-archives and how these have been tailored according to the needs of use. The study takes off from within the context of what is called e-Government, which means that public administrations increase their use of IT in order to facilitate their operation and interaction with citizens.

Stakeholders’ participation has been recognized as a pillar for a transition toward a more sustainable society. However, there is little empirical evidence concerning the viability of participation mechanisms at large scale.

Design och formgivning har blivit allt viktigare för en produkts möjlighet till kommersiell framgång. En följd av brukskonstens ökade ekonomiska och kulturella betydelse har blivit att en ny typ av företag, vars affärsidé bygger på att sälja reproduktioner av kända designmöbler har växt fram. I Sverige har Ikon M och Designers Revolt uppmärksammats särskilt. Företagen har utnyttjat att Storbritann
Den ökade globaliseringen har bidragit till att alltmer gränsöverskridande verksamhet utövas av internationella koncerner. Förekomsten av skatteplanering för att undgå en hög skattesats har således ökat, vilket även orsakat att staternas skattebaser rubbats. Som en reaktion på de ökade gränsöverskridande aktiviteterna har internationella samarbeten etablerats i syfte att minska missbruk av de nati
