In generally, there is a phenomenon of “free rider” in the establishment of national oil reserves for different countries, which means that they have the tendency of underestimating the strategic oil reserves. This paper attempts to explain this phenomenon from the perspective of non-cooperative game theory. It also analyzes the establishment of strategic oil reserve among different countries base

Utifrån aktuell forskning kring publik och reception, och mot bakgrund av en förskjutning inom samtidens scenkonst mot åskådarnas delaktighet och medansvar söker texten uppvärdera publiken och de många aspekter av teaterhändelsen som receptionsperspektivet aktualiserar, och bidra till en omdefiniering av teaterns problem och dess uppdrag visavi publiken.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Det genomgående temat i avhandlingen är hur handeln mellan den Europeiska Unionen (EU) och utvecklingsländer kan öka. Två olika policyalternativ utvärderas: så kallade handelspreferenser samt förenklingar av handelsprocedurer.

Syria, as well as many other countries in the Middle East, faces serious water shortage problems. Available water per capita (AWPC) will dramatically decrease due to climate change, population increase, and water needed for economic growth. Rainwater harvesting can play an important role in increasing available water in Syria. However, the absence of rainwater sewer systems in many rural areas in

Bollens theoretical framework, arguing that cities are physically, socially, p
