USA har sedan de gick ur JCPOA ytterligare vidtagit sanktionsåtgärder mot exempelvis Iran men med följder att även EU-aktörer kan bli sanktionerade utan att ha anknytning till USA, så kallade sekundära sanktioner. Detta är en form av extraterritoriell lagstiftning som den blockerande stadgan ska skydda EU-aktörer från genom exempelvis förbud för EU-aktörer att efterleva denna extraterritoriella laSince leaving the JCPOA, the United States has taken further sanction measures against, for example, Iran, but with the consequence that EU actors also can be sanctioned without having a connection to the United States, e.g., secondary sanctions. This is a form of extraterritorial legislation that the EU blocking regulation is intended to protect EU operators from. Although the blocking regulation

Other studies show similar results. This study aims to shed light on the gender aspects of the

Cottagecore är del av en bredare uppgång av olika estetiska stilar på sociala medier som har ökat i popularitet under coronapandemin. Med bilder på idylliska landskap, traditionella kläder och levnadssätt kan det beskrivas som en nätkultur där ett pastoralt liv i harmoni med naturen idealiseras. Trots denna idealisering av gamla levnadsvanor har fenomenet dock främst anammats av unga kvinnor och q

In the global north, we seem well informed of the pending climate crisis, but despite criticism of un-sustainability, it seems as if we lack alternatives to eco-modernist solutions. Although not unproblematic, degrowth and other alternatives do exist, but are somehow non-existing in the public debate. Within political ecology and ecological economics this can be explained in terms of “capitalistic
