The global coverage of sociology of law (SoL) has remained limited to the Western world, due to the difficult and problematic application of its current theories and concepts in non-Western societies. Thus, the sociology of law norm concept was studied in relation to the culture of Ashanti people of Ghana. This was done to identify and valorise culturally specific issues of their society that are
Genom Sveriges implementering av EU:s 2014 års upphandlingsdirektiv innehåller svensk rätt sedan år 2017 såväl fakultativa som obligatoriska bestämmelser om ställandet av arbetsrättsliga villkor i offentliga upphandlingar. Denna uppsats identifierar dock flera praktiska svårigheter gällande användandet av dessa bestämmelser på grund av den svenska arbetsmarknadsmodellens särdrag. I brist på en lagThrough Sweden's implementation of EU’s 2014 public procurement directives the Swedish legal system contains since 2017 optional and mandatory statutes regarding specific labour law requirements in public procurement. This thesis however identifies several practical difficulties regarding the use of these statutes because of the characteristics typical for the Swedish labour market model. The
Det straffrättsliga orsaksbegreppet har främst diskuterats i rättsvetenskaplig doktrin, eftersom det saknas en legaldefinition och mängden rättspraxis kring begreppet är begränsad i Sverige. År 2024 kom dock ett avgörande, NJA 2024 s. 36, där Högsta domstolen för första gången uttryckligen diskuterade orsaksbegreppet. Rättsfallet handlade om alternativ kausalitet i form av alternativa dödsorsakThe concept of causation in criminal law has been discussed mainly in legal doctrine, since there is no legal definition, and the amount of case law regard ing the concept is limited, in Sweden. In 2024, a decision was made, NJA 2024 s. 36, where the Swedish Supreme Court explicitly discussed the con cept of causation for the first time. The case was about alternative causality in the terms of
The broad aim of this thesis is to explain the fundamental themes and function of Swedish field sermons and field prayers, and so to re-examine the view in earlier research that field sermons were primarily ‘Old Testamentary’ in nature. Inspired by more recent international research, I hold that the sermons’ basic functions were twofold: discipline and comfort. What matters, is to understand the d
The main purpose of this study is to examine whether a specific group of non ideal crime victims senses that the standard view of the ideal crime victim stands in the way of them getting the help from the judiciary that they are entitled to. If a discrepancy between theory and practice do exists, then why does it exist and what changes need to be done to eliminate it? These questions have been s
The mass mobilization and the collective political engagement of the Gezi Park protests of 2013 came as a surprise for many in Turkey. What was new about these large-scale demonstrations was not only the sheer number of people taking place in them (more than 3.5 million), but rather the expansive range of the protesters.This presentation looks into the Gezi events through a research question of Ho
Inflation-targeting central banks commonly fail to hit their official inflation targets, so targets are combined with a tolerance band which is either implicit or explicit. Taking the Swedish Riksbank as an example, this column argues that adopting an explicit tolerance band would better communicate to the public the central bank’s lack of full control over the rate of inflation and thus foster pu

Foster care provides a family‐like upbringing for children who cannot stay with their biological parents for various reasons. While the practice of paying foster parents is not questioned, the level of the fee and how it is spent (or not spent) are morally charged matters. Foster parents’ motives may be questioned by the media, neighbors, or social workers, who may suspect financial gain. Although
In recent years outsourcing of public health care activities has increased in Sweden. Outsourcing of public health care activities involves possibilities of innovation and improvement according to many, but there are difficulties with how to maintain and control quality in the outsourced activities. The focus of this thesis is on how quality is ensured when public activities are subject to contrac
With the introduction of its Feminist Foreign Policy (FFP) in 2014, Sweden cemented its position as a normative leader on gender equality. In 2022, however, the new government rescinded the FFP. Based on interviews with EU Member State officials, we analyze how they perceive Sweden’s work with gender equality during as well as post FFP. Our results demonstrate that Sweden’s FFP was in general posi
The 13th of October 2006, the Swedish parliament approved a change in the Foreign Policy. For the first time the Government choose to use a maritime unit in peace-time operations. This had never been done before. The Swedish navy was trained and ready for this, due to the new overall policy, regarding the Armed Forces of Sweden from 2004. The aim of this study is to analyse the process of agenda s
The collaborative economy represents a paradigm shift that could help to address the economic, social and environmental problems of our time. However, its ability to actually deliver that promise is highly disputed. This thesis aims to address the knowledge gap of the types of value that organisations based on collaborative consumption and production actually create, and the strategies that they u
Rising sea levels and continuous coastal development increase vulnerability to flooding in southern Sweden. National regulations try to increase local consideration of flooding in urban planning, but so far implementation is limited. The aim of this thesis is to understand the lack of implementation and explore how and why implementation failed in a Swedish municipality. In order to study the case
The principle aim of the Law on Support and Service for people with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS) is to guarantee full participation in society and freedom to choose one’s own path in life. These are ambitious goals; however, they lack both precision and reference to daily care work. Through 17 qualitative interviews with caregivers working in group homes for disabled, this thesis examines
Inom ekonomin har begreppet värdekedja funnits sedan 1985 då det myntades av Michael E. Porter, professor vid Harvard Business School. Porter använde värdekedjekonstruktionen för att förklara värdeskapande aktiviteter inom företag där varje aktivitet utgör en viktig länk i en större kedja som skapar värde och konkurrensfördelar för företagen. Genom att ha översikt över sin värdekedja kan varje för
