This thesis investigates how internal structures of responsibility and external accountability procedures function during an administrative crisis by examining the 2017 IT scandal at the Swedish Transport Agency (Transportstyrelsen), where large-scale IT outsourcing led to severe security breaches and a major political crisis. The case is studied in the context of contemporary reforms, such as New

The healthcare system is a crucial component of the civil defence and plays an essential role in an increasingly unstable security landscape. Meanwhile, the Swedish healthcare system is characterized as an institutionally complex environment, where public and private healthcare providers coexist. The aim of this qualitative case study is to explore the institutional conditions within this relation

EU:s förordning om utländska subventioner, som trädde i kraft den 12 januari 2023, utgör ett nytt instrument inom EU:s konkurrensrättsliga ramverk och syftar till att säkerställa lika konkurrensvillkor på den inre marknaden genom att motverka snedvridningar orsakade av utländska subventioner. Förordningen infördes mot bakgrund av farhågor om att subventioner från tredjeländer kunde snedvrida konkuThe FSR, which entered into force on 12 January 2023, is a new instrument within the EU competition law framework aimed at ensuring a level playing field in the internal market by addressing distortions caused by foreign subsidies. It was introduced in response to concerns that subsidies granted by non-EU countries could distort competition within the internal market without being effectively addr

Uppsatsen undersöker hur barnet konstrueras i svensk rätt, med särskilt fokus på straffrätten och de senaste reformerna rörande unga lagöverträdare. Syftet är att analysera om straffrättens syn på barn är förenlig med hur barn konstrueras och behandlas i andra delar av rättssystemet, särskilt i fråga om mognad, autonomi, ansvar och skyddsbehov.

Denna uppsats prövar den enskildes rättsliga ställning i en automatiserad förvaltning genom att analysera hur myndighetsövergripande beslutsmodeller förhåller sig till dataskyddsförordningens krav på skydd mot automatiserat beslutsfattande. Analysen genomförs med utgångspunkt i ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv och har särskilt fokus på hur automatiserad profilering i ett inledande led samverkar med efThis thesis examines the legal position of the individual in an automated public administration by analyzing to what extent fragmented decision-making models can be reconciled with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) regarding protection against automated decision-making. The analysis is conducted from a legal certainty perspective and focuses in particular on how aut

This research originates in how the political landscape surrounding national security has experienced a shift in recent years. In Sweden this has reflected in an increased defense expenditure within the state budget. The purpose of this study thereby surrounds how the necessity for an increased expenditure could be explained through how the concept of security is discursively constructed within Sw

This paper examines how the EU seeks to mitigate external economic vulnerabilities and what this reveals about the EU’s prioritisation concerning different types of vulnerability and the external actors toward whom these vulnerabilities are directed. The paper draws on the theories of complex interdependence and weaponised interdependence to distinguish between resource-based and network-based vul

Offentliga uppköpserbjudanden är sedan länge ett centralt inslag på aktie- marknaden och kännetecknas av att en budgivare lämnar ett erbjudande till aktieägarna i ett börsbolag att överlåta sina aktier. Eftersom sådana erbjudan- den, och återkallande av sådana erbjudanden, kan påverka såväl målbolagets aktiekurs som aktiemarknadens förtroende är det viktigt att budprocessen präglas av tydlighet, lPublic takeover bids have long constituted a central feature of the stock mar- ket and are characterised by a bidder making an offer to the shareholders of a listed company to sell their shares. Since such offers, as well as the withdrawal of such offers, may affect the target company’s share price as well as confidence in the stock market, it is important that the bidding process is marked by cla

The European Union has long been regarded as a global transformative power, capable of promoting democratic reforms in candidate countries through its merit-based enlargement process. However, democratic backsliding in the Western Balkans has raised concerns about the credibility and effectiveness of EU conditionality. This thesis examines the extent to which the EU enlargement process has enabled

Denna uppsats syftar till att behandla den rättsliga bedömningen och till-lämpningen av 7 § i lag (2014:307) om straff för penningtvättsbrott, dvs. strafföreskriften för näringspenningtvätt. Bestämmelsen är konstruerad utan krav på att behöva styrka något förbrott och utgör ett s.k. riskbrott. Det som kriminaliseringen tar sikte på är enligt förarbetenas terminologi ett klander-värt risktagande. BThis thesis aims to examine the legal assessment and application of Para-graph 7 of the Swedish Act on Criminal Liability for Money Laundering Offences (2014:307), i.e. the provision concerning business money launder-ing. The provision is constructed without a requirement to prove any specif-ic predicate offence and constitutes a so-called endangerment offence. Ac-cording to the preparatory works,

This essay aims to analyze how the problem representations of terrorism threats in the Council of Europe's “Counter Terrorism Strategy” has changed over time, comparing the strategy for 2018–2022 with the strategy for 2023–207. The analysis derives from the theoretical framework of the Copenhagen School's securitization theory, through a Mixed Method Research combining the What's the p

Sweden and Europe were characterized by substantial changes in migration flows between the years of 2014 and 2023, which intensified debates regarding asylum and migration policies. As migration became increasingly politicized in Sweden, previous research points to a possible ideological convergence between the Moderate Party and the Sweden Democrats. This thesis examines how immigrants are framed

Denna uppsats undersöker i vilken utsträckning EU:s resiliensramverk, särskilt CER-direktivet (Critical Entities Resilience Directive) och NIS2- direktivet (Directive on Measures for a High Common Level of Cybersecurity across the Union), kompletterar det rättsliga ramverk som etableras genom Förenta nationernas havsrättskonvention (UNCLOS) avseende styrningen och skyddet av kritisk undervattensinThis thesis examines the extent to which the European Union’s resilience framework, particularly the Critical Entities Resilience Directive (CER) and the Directive on Measures for a High Common Level of Cybersecurity across the Union (NIS2), complements the legal framework established under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) regarding the governance and protection of crit

Testamenten löper risk att utsättas för olika former av sabotage. För att minska risken finns det en rad skyddsregler i lagstiftningen, men de är av äldre art. Vår arvs-och testamentsrätt baseras på ÄB som är från 1958 men efter många år har det föreslagits en uppdatering. SOU 2025:91 har framtagits för att modernisera lagstiftningen och anpassa den till de nya förut-sättningar som finns. Några avWills run the risk of being sabotaged in different ways. To minimize the risk, there is several protection rules in the Swedish law, but they are of an older nature. Our rules about succession are based on the Inheritance Code from 1958, but after many years there has been a suggestion for an update. SOU 2025:91 has been developed to modernize the regulations and adapt them to the new conditions t

Utvecklingen av autonoma fartyg (‘MASS’) innebär betydande utmaningar för det befintliga systemet för sjörättsligt ansvar. Culpabaserat ansvar och begreppet vårdslöshet är traditionellt uppbyggda kring bedömningen av mänskligt handlande, beslutsfattande och kontroll. Detta väcker frågor om huruvida vårdslöshet och culpa fortfarande är begreppsmässigt sammanhängande när operativa beslut fattas av aThe development of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (‘MASS’) presents significant challenges to the existing framework of maritime liability law. Fault-based liability and the concept of negligence are traditionally structured around the assessment of human conduct, decision-making and control. This raises the question of whether negligence and fault remain conceptually coherent where operational

The principle of subsidiarity has a central role in EU environmental governance, formally serving as a legal-mechanism for allocating decision-making between the Union and its member states. This thesis examines how the principle functions during the legislative process, with the newly implemented EU Nature Restoration Law (Regulation (EU) 2024/1991) as the specific case, arguing that it operates

This study examines why states employ private military companies (PMCs) by analysing two prominent cases of security privatization: the Russian Wagner Group in Ukraine and the American company Blackwater in Iraq. The purpose of the study is to increase understanding of the motives and driving forces behind the use of PMCs as instruments of foreign and security policy. The study applies the theory

This thesis examines how the second Trump administration’s renewed interest in Greenland reshaped Danish and Greenlandic security discourse from January 2025 to April 2026. Building on securitization theory and literature on Greenland in Arctic security, the thesis analyzes official Danish and Greenlandic political statements through qualitative discourse analysis. The analysis focuses on what Dan

The Ruhr Area is the most densely populated region in Europe and is founded on the mining of coal and production of steel. However, throughout the last decades it has endured many hardships, as the coal industry shut down and thus leaving the region as one of the poorest in Germany, while grappling with the loss of an element that once gave the region its identity. During recent years there has be

Europeanisation refers to a process through which member states undergo social, economic and political changes to its domestic institutions that align them with EU norms and rules. In essence, it involves not only the adoption of EU policies, laws and regulations, but also incorporates EU governance structures and practices into the logic of domestic institutions. Following the EU’s largest enlarg
