Fiji has been plagued with issues hindering its economic development. Having experienced 4 coup d’états in the last 40 years owing to tension between the countries’ two majority ethnic groups, Fiji has developed a reputation for political instability. Lacklustre growth, weak structural transformation, and limited economic diversification have led to increased poverty levels. With the Covid-19 pand
Migration är en oundviklig och betydande konsekvens av klimatförändringar. Varje år tvingas millioner människor lämna sina hem i kölvattnet av katastrofer och fler väntas migrera i takt med att klimatförändringar ökar i frekvens och magnitud. Det saknas dock rättsliga mekanismer för att gripa an klimatrelaterad migration. Därmed syftar uppsatsen till att kritiskt undersöka i vilken utsträckning prMillions of people are displaced annually due to environmental stress and degradation, causing them to move in prospects of a sustainable livelihood. However, given the lack of mechanisms and systems to provide legal protection for displaced individuals, the future of such migrants is uncertain. Using a human rights-based approach, this thesis critically examines whether the principle of non-refou
Contributing 3% of global annual carbon emissions, the shipping sector has to do its part to keep the global temperature under the maximum increase of 2°C. To fulfil this target, the Netherlands conceived the ‘Green Deal on Maritime and Inland Shipping and Ports’ in 2019. This thesis aims to make a preliminary assessment on the policy’s effectiveness by applying Weber et al.’s environmental pol
In the near future, electric vehicle battery waste will rapidly increase as a result of the growth of electrification of road transport. To address this challenge, repurposing of used EV batteries for a second-life application has gained more attention from battery-related stakeholders, such as manufacturers, recyclers, policymakers, etc. Thus, the objective of this thesis is to review current cha
Working to increase the sustainability of agriculture is a complex challenge of balancing food production and economic profitability with environmental and climatic impact. As the second largest exporter of agricultural products worldwide, the Netherlands is a global production hub, a leading example of high yields per hectare. However, with this high productivity comes intensive farming practices
I denna studie undersöks den icke-statliga och transnationella anti-abortdiskursen i Europa, genom en kvalitativ textanalys av dokument från olika ”pro-life”-organisationers hemsidor. Uppsatsen använder sig av Carol Bacchis diskursanalytiska metod What’s the problem represented to be – vilket är en analys som fokuserar på själva problemframställningen än problemet i sig. Genom att ställa specifika
This study aims to research how honour is explained and defined by social workers and thus increase the knowledge about the concept itself, and the negative consequences it can have on an individuals’ life. By interviewing (both in a group interview, and in a one-on-one interview) professionals who daily are coming into contact with honour codes and context, and letting them give their view on the
I Östkinesiska havet finns en avlägset belägen ögrupp bestående av fem öar och tre karga klippor. Ögruppen utgörs av en nödtorftig vegetation och det förefaller inte finnas något sötvatten. På grund av ögruppens ogästvänliga egenskaper har öarna genom historien ansetts vara av mycket litet ekonomiskt värde och de har sedan urminnes tider, bortsett från en kortare period i början av 1900-talet, varSituated in the East China Sea lays a remotely located island group consisting of five small islands and three barren rocks. The islands sustain scarce vegetation and there’s most likely no fresh water on the islands. Due to their inhospitable character, the islands have historically been considered to be of little economic value and they have since ancient times, apart from a short period during
This thesis explores the diversionary use of force in the context of The United Kingdom. Building on theory that suggests that diversionary tactics are most likely when domestic turmoil affects the core constituents of the incumbent party, I operationalize domestic turmoil as macroeconomic conditions that disfavor the core constituents of the incumbent party and test its effects on the initiation,
In general, non-government organizations (NGOs) are regarded as charity and humanitarian advocacy agents in developing and developed countries. With globalization, NGOs have been influenced by commercialization and some of them started to run commercial activities. This essay studies whether commercialization plays a major role for NGOs in making them sustainable over time in Sweden. I have interv
In Sweden, household waste is separated at the source, making the success of the recycling system largely depending on the active participation of households. In a well-established recycling system with functioning recycling infrastructure and information, the conditions for ‘recyclers’ and ‘non-recyclers’ are akin, indicating the external conditions, recycling infrastructure and information, not
American consumption based lifestyles have a grave impact on the environment and personal wellbeing of Americans, creating unhealthy consumption patterns, unforeseen negative effects on individuals, and ultimately unsustainable lifestyles overall. Voluntary simplicity (VS), or individuals who resist consumerist tendencies seeking a higher quality of life through simplicity, is an answer to these c
With the wide-ranging crisis in Venezuela exacerbating since 2014 and Chile consolidating its leading economic position within Latin America, the number of Venezuelan immigrants in Chile has significantly grown. This paper aims to understand the push and pull factors of Venezuelans migrating to Chile and their perceived integration. The broader purpose is to better understand the push and pull fac

Reikihealing med sitt ursprung från Japan och holistiska synsätt erbjuder andra förklaringsmodeller och svar på frågor än den traditionella biomedicinen. Det innefattar även att gå till botten med varför olika symtom uppstår. Min studie undersöker upplevelsen av att känna sig botad till skillnad från biomedicinens botande av sjukdom eller kroppslig åkomma, med hjälp av begrepp som illness och dise
Sammanfattning Grundläggande mänskliga rättigheter är ett växande rättsområde, vilket illustreras av den ökande andelen mål med grund i mänskliga rättigheter vid Europeiska domstolar. Denna utveckling, i kombination med att rättighetskatalogen utvidgas och att de befintliga rättigheterna får en mer extensiv tolkning innebär oundvikligen att även mål där två mänskliga rättigheter ställs emot varandSummary Fundamental rights are an expanding area of law, which is demonstrated by the increasing number of cases in European courts drawing upon fundamental rights provisions. This development in combination with the expanding rights catalogue and a more extensive interpretation given to existing rights inevitably also leads to an increase in conflicts between fundamental rights. This issue has ho
The following study investigates the female main character in the novel The Bad Girl (2006), written by the Peruvian author Mario Vargas Llosa. In addition, it examines how she relates to the Marianismo, the Latin-American ideology that proposes that the woman's spiritual and moral capacity is superior to the man's, and favours the woman's sexual passivity and purity. The essay is base

The main questions are what perception of honor-related violence and oppression that are expressed in the action program, how the Swedish Democrat
Europaparlamentets och rådets direktiv 2012/13/EU om rätten till information vid straffrättsliga förfaranden utgör en del i en färdplan inom EU att förstärka rättighetsskyddet för misstänkta personer i brottmålsförfaranden. Artikel 7.1 i direktivet införlivades med svensk rätt den 1 juni 2014 genom införandet av 24 kap. 9 a § rättegångsbalken.

Förorenar Arktiska samhällen sig själva och påverkas marina organismer i samband med detta? Ja, bara i Adventfjorden och Grønfjorden på Svalbard finns förorening från lokala källor för 14 av 57 analyserade flamskydds- och ytbehandlingsämnen i sediment. Inte så mycket tänker kanske du? Men den största anledningen till förekomsten av dessa ämnen är utsläpp av orenat avloppsvatten och läckage från sMost of the ecotoxicological research conducted in the Arctic until today has focused on long range transport of pollutants, while fewer studies on local pollution have been published. The aim of this study was hence to investigate if local pollution of organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and perfluorinated alkylated substances (PFAS) occurs outside tw
