Fastän folkrätten ibland kallas den globala rättsordningen, betraktas dess olika discipliner ofta enskilt. Det är därför intressant att undersöka förhållandena mellan disciplinerna, eftersom det är svårt att hävda att folkrätten är ett enskilt rättsområde om de är alltför avlägsna varandra. Syftet med detta examensarbete är därför att ge ett exempel som grund för framtida diskussioner om de inbördAlthough public international law is sometimes referred to as the global legal order, its various disciplines are often considered in isolation. It is therefore interesting to investigate the relationships between the disciplines, because if they are too distant, it may be hard to claim that public international law is a single legal order. The purpose of this thesis is therefore to provide an exa

The relationship between intellectual property and competition law gives an excellent contrast into how competing legal principles may work harmoniously and need not be viewed in conflict. Consequently, applying principles from one field may benefit the application of another. In respect of this and following the Court of Justice of the European Union’s recent ruling in Leno Merken, an application
In this thesis I suggest a definition on what right-wing populism is by comparing three right-wing populist parties; the Swedish Democrats (SD) in Sweden, the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) in Great Britain and the Alternative for Germany (AFD) in Germany. This is my question formulation. I have used the idea analysis to make the concept of right-wing populism more understandable. The ob

Internationally, Sociology of Law is most often located in centers of various kinds, as subjects or networks within faculties or as one or a couple of people within faculties. Sociology of Law and Law and Society research is thus spread around the world in many kinds of formations and there are several networks coordinating the field thematically and geographically. These two fields attract a highThe overarching aim of this report is to use it in our future and continued development work at our Sociology of Law Department, Faculty of Social Sciences, Lund University.
