DDR-processen i Liberia anses av världssamfundet vara en stor framgång. Detta mycket på grund av det stora antalet avväpnade och återintegrerade kombattanter. Med vår fallstudie av DDR i Liberia framhäver vi kritik som gör gällande att processen i Liberia inte varit fullt så effektiv som det påstås. Vi har funnit att avväpningens utformning lett till ett missnöje bland ex-kombattanter. Detta missn
Uppsatsen är en fallstudie av Liberia i vilken vi undersöker fredsbyggandet inom landet under perioden 2001-2009 med ett särskilt fokus på efterkrigstiden. Undersökningen har för avsikt att pröva huruvida det kan dras paralleller mellan fredsbyggandet och utvalda delar av teorin om IBL. Senareläggningen av det liberianska valet och institutionsstärkandet är centrala delar som vi kan koppla till te
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) in South Africa was a unique experiment. It has been named as a “third way” between punishment and amnesia. The TRC was created so that the South African community could deal with the horrors of the past crimes of apartheid, and so that South Africa could lay a new foundation of freedom and human rights in the new democratic state. Within the TRC there
In the so called ‘war against terrorism’ the international humanitarian law was declared as non-applicable to ‘unlawful combatants’ by the Bush administration. The prisoners defined as such would therefore be given a different set of rights than would those who under the third Geneva Convention qualified as ‘prisoners of war’. By passing new national legislation, the president’s administration and
Att utforma demokratiska samhällen är idag det främsta tillvägagångssättet för en fungerande fredsprocess. Detta grundar sig i den liberala fredsteorin, vars huvudtes lyder att demokratiska stater leder till en fredligare värld. Därför är det viktigt att i krigsdrabbade samhällen snabbt bygga upp fungerande institutioner som främjar denna demokratiska utveckling, samt värnar om mänskliga rättighet

After World War II Sovjet took over Poland with the plan of making it a socialist state in all its meanings, religious as well. That meant changing it from Roman Catholic to secular which turned out to be harder than expected because of the position of the church. The church was a symbol of the nation and a savior of the people and the communist party understood that this would be a process of tra
Efter de två senaste krigen i Tjetjenien har en paradoxal situation uppenbarat sig i Vladimir Putins strategi för institutionellt uppbyggande i norra Kaukasus eftersom han, genom sin tidigare kortsiktiga ryska politik; där man skulle tämja de lokala krafterna inom den tjetjenska eliten genom att erbjuda dessa centraliserad makt och resurser, har misslyckats. Istället har dessa institutioner gått e
As the economic globalization has intensified worldwide and Sweden has become a member of the European Union we have in a short time experienced a dramatic change with the influx of migrant workers, also in the Swedish labour market. The increase of migrant labour against a background of free mobility in the EU has raised a number of new issues and problems. Above all questions of how migrant work
Denna uppsats ställer frågan hur israelisk film tar upp och bearbetar rättfärdigandeproblematik från det första Libanonkriget 1982.

Filmerna Beaufort (2007), Waltz with Bashir (2008) och Lebanon (2009) analys

Syftet är att studera möjliga faktorer för processens framgång samt hur de hörhåller sig till Roland Paris teori om Institutionalization Before Liberalization, som är vår teoretiska utgångspunkt. Vår hypotes är att Namibia utgör ett undantagsfall från teorin då operationen, internationellt sett, anses vara framgång
“Men are not the deliberate oppressors of women, but can also be disempowered by current social arrangements”. The role of the Secretary-General of the United Nations is among the most powerful in the world. Since 1945 and the establishment of the UN that position has never been held by a woman.

Organisationskultur har under senare decennierna blivit ett välkänt och välstuderat fenomen. IKEA är ett företag som har expanderat i snabb takt och företaget bör räknas som synnerligen framgångsrikt. Att som en multinationell koncern välja att behålla kärnverksamheten i en liten by som Älmhult är tämligen unikt, och gör studieobjektet än mer intressant. Av intresse i denna studie är framför allt
