The purpose of my study was to examine how people talk about their sibling position. I wanted to find out how we present ourselves as siblings, rather than establish one for all valid truth. In the study I explored whether people believe their birth order has affected them and if so, with what consequences. I conducted a qualitative study using twelve interviews and analyzed the material with a so

This thesis addresses the influence of discourses of globalisation, the knowledge-based economy and neoliberalism on the position of equity in English education policy making. It departs from the assertion that discourses are constitutively important in creating certain rationales for policy reforms within the field of education. The paper switches empirical attention in this area away from New La

This paper aims to examine whether competition law and policies have greater effect on competition when sound institutions are in place. Reports by major global actors as well as governmental reforming, show that there is unanimity on the notion that political reforming is essential in order to reach a more competitive market. Later economic research shows that institutions such as governance effe

Utlänningsärenden handläggs i rådande rättsläge av den centrala utlänningsmyndigheten Migrationsverket, vars beslut kan överklagas till en besvärsnämnd, Utlänningsnämnden. Särskilt viktiga ärenden avgörs av regeringen. Då handläggningen av utlänningsärenden fått utstå mycket kritik, bland annat på grund av långa handläggningstider hos de beslutsfattande myndigheterna och på grund av dålig insyn i

Den svenska kriminalvården upplevde under 2004 ett av sina värsta år. Fyra uppmärksammade rymningar skedde från fyra av landets säkraste anstalter. Reaktionerna lät inte vänta på sig och en intensiv debatt blossade upp i det offentliga rummet. Från regeringen vidtogs snabbt åtgärder och en utredning tillsattes, vars uppgift var att granska de fyra rymningarna och sedan komma med förslag på åtgärde

The international character that surrounds the shipping industry has traditionally meant that rules regarding the public law of the sea or the private maritime law are internationally regulated through regulations, state practice, international conventions or international customary law. Since the 1970s, there has been an increasing concern for both the marine environment and the safety onboard sh

The issue of measures which are sensitive from a privacy perspective appears to be rather unregulated in Swedish law. Lately the question has been the subject of intense discussions and in 2008 a proposition of a future law is expected. At present time the current rules are found in the Personal Data Act, the law concerning general video surveillance and labour principles such as employer's su

Both competition law and intellectual property law are considered good for economic efficiency, but the interface between the two legal fields is, and probably always will be, a complex area of law, since these legal areas in one sense can be said to strive for the opposite things. Intellectual property rights are considered public goods, which mean that it is hard to prevent others from using the

The objective of this thesis is to explore the concept of intergenerational equity and study a number of different options for protecting future generations through domestic action. Intergenerational equity focuses on the relationship between people living today and generations still unborn. Problems of equity between generations are partially due to the distance between them. Future generations l

Enligt den svenska upphovsrätten har upphovsmannen ensamrätt att framföra sitt verk offentligt. Detta leder naturligtvis till gränsdragningsfrågan om vilka framföranden som enligt URL framförs offentligt och vilka som framförs privat. Utgångspunkten är att framföranden som inte sker inför en sluten krets skall räknas som offentliga. En krets dit vem som helst har tillträde eller kan skaffa sig til

The regulation of the European parliament and the Council (EG) nr. 864/2007 on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations is known as Rome II. Rome II contains a conflict rule in art. 7 which determines the law applicable to a claim involving environmental damages connected with more than one state. This conflict rule does not only apply to cases of damage to property and persons, but also

The Internet is a unique medium never before seen and its introduction is probably only rivalled by that of television. It is unique in the sense that every person connected to the Internet has the possibility of interacting with other people across the globe simultaneously. The tools introduced to facilitate this interaction are IP-addresses and domain names. Domain names are connected to the IP-

Jag har gjort en komparativ studie av två litterära verk med masochistiska och sexuellt utlevande kvinnor som protagonister. På ytan är verken olikartade; Berättelsen om O är en erotisk klassiker där upplevelserna i huvudsak är positiva för protagonisten O själv, medan Trasdockan skildrar upplevelser som i huvudsak är destruktiva och negativa för protagonisten Ylva själv. Jag menar dock att under
