This thesis is about Swedish integration policy. The thesis suggests that integration policy inexorably leads to the question of who is to be integrated into what and in that way it holds an immanent categorizing practice. The theoretical points of departure in this thesis proposes that Swedish integration policy, through this categorizing practice, has a productive function as it articulates a di

This thesis takes the process of privatization as its starting point, a process which in Sweden started 20-30 years ago and is still ongoing. Since this process is very likely to be irreversible an open and rational discussion is of particular importance. Hence, one of the aims of this thesis is to problematize the privatization debate. This leads to the primary objective: to take a normative stan

Deras syfte är att förhindra att bolagets aktiekapital förbrukas genom att föreskriva en rad åtgärder som bolagets styrelse måste vidta när det egna kapitalet befaras understiga hälften av det registrerade aktiekapitalet. Om inte dessa regler följs på ett korrekt sätt riskerar sThe rules regarding compulsory liquidation due to lack of capital are some of the oldest rules in the Swedish Companies Act. Their purpose is to prevent the share capital from being consumed due to losses by providing several actions which the board of directors must take when the company’s equity is less than half of the registered share capital. If the rules are not properly followed the board o

Med utgångspunkt i sociologiska teorier om formandet av kollektiv identitet som en förutsättning för att kunna göra motstånd framstår queer som ett intressant sociologiskt fenomen att studera. Detta på grund av att queer är en ideologi som handlar om icke-kategorisering, anti-identitet och icke- definiering, vilket i praktiken är problematiskt att förverkliga då människor tenderar att bilda gruppe

I svensk rätt kan unga lagöverträdare mellan femton och arton år frihetsberövas om det finns synnerliga skäl till det. De påföljder som står till buds är då antingen sluten ungdomsvård eller fängelse – ensamt eller i kombination med skyddstillsyn. Vilken frihetsberövande påföljd som en ung lagöverträdare ska dömas till kan vid en första anblick anses vara klart och tydligt reglerat i svensk lag.
