NEIGHBORHOOD AS A LIVING ORGANISM

To encounter the ambiguity of the contemporary understanding of neighborhood, we must fundamentally view the concept from a broad historical and global perspective.

Vidare har lagstiftningen kritiserats eftersom korruption inom offentlig verksamhet har ansetts vara mer allvarliThe Swedish bribery legislation currently makes no difference between bribery within the public or private sector.
