I denna uppsats undersöker jag Moderaterna och Vänsterpartiets valmanifest från 1988, 1998 och 2018 med hjälp av metoden kritisk diskursanalys och Jasbir K. Puars teori om homonationalism, för att se vad partierna säger om HBTQ-personers rättigheter. Jag tar avstamp i det faktum att både Moderaterna, som är liberalkonservativa, och Vänsterpartiet, som är socialistiska, båda gick i Stockholms PrideIn this essay I am examining Moderaternas and Vänsterpartiets manifestos from 1988, 1998 och 2018, using the method critical discourse analysis and Jasbir K. Puar’s theory of homonationalism, to see what the parties say about LGBTQ people’s rights. I start my study with the fact that both Moderaterna, who are a liberal-conservative party, and Vänsterpartiet, who are a socialist party, marched in S

With the emergence of industrialisation, the work-life balance has become a point of discussion in many industries, among which the aviation industry. Distortions in the work-life balance became especially apparent when 24/7 economies evolved, and industries made a transition to facilitate and serve these economies. Incidents and accident have since then been related to fatigue more than before. T

The present research seeks to understand interviews I have conducted with selected individuals in Budapest, Hungary. Through an analysis based on well-established feminist theory I analyse what the dimensions of quality and character of life can be like for those committed to an environmentally conscious lifestyle, and ultimately gives credence to the notion that there might be deeper psychologica

Large amounts of carbon in the terrestrial biosphere are stored in forest ecosystems and its soil. Once the forest ecosystem is disturbed the release of this carbon can drive positive feedback to global warming. Humans impact the forest ecosystem through clear-cutting for wood production and other commercial purposes. Clear-cutting is still a standard forestry management method, but its effect on

Responses to combating worsening climate change are legitimized through narratives employed in government policy which build on existing master narratives about climate change produced in the subpolitics of international mega-science mainly influenced by IPCC as an expert authority. In Sweden the climate law forces the government to produce a Climate Policy Action Plan (CPAP) every four years that

To accelerate sustainable development and mitigate climate change, an increasing amount of finance is being mobilized for the deployment of renewable energy (RE) in developing countries from bilateral and multilateral donors and climate funds. Even though this trend is present in Mongolia, there is still a lack of knowledge about how effective these efforts have been for renewable energy developme

Extended producer responsibility (EPR) has been successfully implemented in various developed countries. The complex waste flows and the presence of the informal sector in non-OECD countries makes the execution of EPR challenging widely. The informal sector owing to its contribution to the waste management sector has been advocated for inclusion and recognition by researchers and practitioners. Th

Möllevången är en av de stadsdelar som i Polismyndighetens senaste trygghetsmätning avvek från den generella ökningen av upplevd trygghet bland Malmöinvånare. Stadsdelen har under de senare åren brottats med en lång rad vålds- och sexualbrott som har skett i den offentliga stadsmiljön. Denna studie ämnade därför till att försöka skapa medvetenhet kring hur kvinnors upplevelse av (o)trygghet ser ut

Redan för över ett århundrade sedan, i industrialiseringens vagga, funderade fysiker, kemister och naturvetenskapare på de eventuella konsekvenser de oreglerade utsläppen av fossila bränslen i atmosfären kunde få. Bland annat förutsåg man en framtida global uppvärmning. Nu har det gått många årtionden sedan vi fick svart på vitt att den globala uppvärmningen är ett faktum. Det råder överväldigande

This thesis analyses if and how the EU’s regulatory impact differs between policy areas in the High North. This question will be examined through the lens of the ‘regulatory power Europe’ framework, which is represented by Bradford’s interpretation of the Brussels Effect. This comparative study utilizes a mixedmethod approach scrutinizing quantitatively all applicable regulations in the Arctic as

This thesis seeks to investigate the connection between consumption and anticipated subjective wellbeing using the framework of Human Scale Development developed by Max Neef and colleagues (1991). The work intends to contribute to a wider discussion concerning the effects of a retracting economy on subjective wellbeing. The material was gathered by using deliberative forums, a method that is due l

This paper is focused on trying to answer the questions of how local political niche parties gain representation in the municipalities of Sweden. Could a lack of representation in a specific political question lead to the political advancement of a niche party? The main theory is based on the concept of “representation gap” and “voting behavior”. This theory is being tested against two alternative
