Under international law, a government of a state is entitled to the sovereign right to invite another state to intervene militarily on its territory. This type of consensual use of military force is an exception to the rules on prohibition of use of force among states, and unlawfulness is precluded through such governmental consent. The extent to which a government is entitled to invite has been d

Den gränsöverskridande handeln spelar en central roll för EU-samarbetet, men offentliga upphandlingar är fortfarande en i huvudsak nationell angelägenhet. I en alltmer globaliserad värld kommer dock gränsöverskridande upphandlingar att spela en allt större roll. Likaledes kan gränsöverskridande samarbeten mellan upphandlande myndigheter komma att öka, för att kunna dra nytta av den inre marknadensCross-border trade is of special significance to the European cooperation, but public procurement is still mainly a national concern. Cross-border joint public procurement will play an even larger part in a more global world. Such collaboration between contracting authorities may also increase, in order to derive maximum benefit from the potential of the internal market in terms of economies of sc

Due to the refugee crisis that evolved in 2015, the Swedish Government introduced a new refugee policy in order to decrease the number of asylum seekers arriving in Sweden. This new refugee policy resulted, among other things, in a temporary law that limits the possibilities to receive a residence permit in Sweden. The temporary law has received a great amount of criticism from several consultatio

International Humanitarian Law (IHL) seeks to limit the effects of armed conflicts by protecting people not taking part in the conflict and put restrictions on the means and methods of warfare permissible. However, the legal system was created in a previous time, when armed conflicts had a different appearance. Civilian casualties constitute an absolute majority of the victims of armed conflicts t

Att ingå långvariga avtal är förenat med vissa svårigheter, speciellt eftersom det är problematiskt att på förhand förutse framtida omständigheter som kan komma att påverka ett avtal. Som utgångspunkt gäller pacta sunt servanda och möjligheten att förändra ett redan ingånget avtal har varit starkt begränsat i princip alla rättsordningar. I svensk avtalsrätt är det främst 36 § AvtL som kan användasTo enter long-term contracts is subject to certain issues, especially because it may be difficult to prospectively foresee future circumstances, that may affect the contract. The main legal principle that applies is pacta sunt servanda but the possibility to modify a contract has always been very limited in almost all legal systems. In Swedish contract law, it’s mainly the general clause 36 § AvtL

Since the 1970’s there has been several attempts within the UN at drafting a binding instrument on business and human rights. Up until today, none of the attempts at adopting binding standards have succeeded, with the only successful initiative being the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights – a voluntary set of guiding principles meant to further the respect for human rig

The Brazilian tax system is known to be very complex. The main reasons to that is presumably the fact that the federalist pact adopted by the Brazilian Federal Constitution gives a considerable autonomy to all federal entities (the federal government, the states, the Federal District and the municipalities) to impose levies. Besides that, the Brazilian tax system is composed by numerous levies, su

Beginning with the question of whether, and how, gender equality can be measured, this thesis is written with the ambition to evaluate one aspect of the Swedish government’s equality goal, equality in power and influence, with the help of an index. It departs from a discussion within the field of gender studies where gender equality is found to be an “empty” word that can be used for a variety of

Allt fler organisationer med en house of brands arkitektur, vilket kännetecknas av att företagsvarumärket döljs bakom flertalet olika fristående, välkända produktvarumärken, har på senare tid lagt ner stora resurser på att kommunicera det övergripande företagsvarumärket. Således kan ett skifte och en ny trend identifieras i hur organisationer med denna struktur interagerar med sin marknad. Denna sToday, more and more organisations with a house of brands architecture, characterized by a strong company brand and several independent, well-known product brands, are using a large amount of resources on communicating the company brand. This development indicates a shift in how organisations with this architecture operates on the market. This study aims to examine how organisations use branding s

We decompose the monthly Swedish consumer confidence index into a rational part based on fundamentals and an irrational part based on exogenous, irrational beliefs. Subsequently, we investigate the impact of investor irrationality and its short-term predictability on industry returns in Sweden. In addition, we provide an explanation to the reason some industries are more prone to investor sentimen

By using a quantitative method, handing out questionnaires to 145 young adults in upper secondary schools in Skåne, we asked questions about their perceived mental health and how normal or stigmatizing they regarded help-seeking in general. In scientific studies and governmental reports regarding

Studien har som syfte att analysera om centralbankerna har ändrat sitt sätt att föra flexibel penningpolitik efter finanskrisen. Studien väljer att lägga till huspriser som en förklarande variabel då denna faktor var en bakomliggande del av finanskrisen och anses vara intressant att studera i sammanhanget. Studien har utgått ifrån Taylor-regeln som har bevisats kunna förklara räntesättningen av ce

Surrogate motherhood and whether it should be legalized or not, has been a controversial area in Sweden. Swedish law has not any evident legislation prohibiting surrogate motherhood, but existing law can be interpreted as not allowing such arrangements. Due to that, many couples in Sweden are going abroad in order to implement surrogate arrangements. Therefore, some problems have occurred when the

In this thesis, a holographic model for quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is used to estimate the electromagnetic contribution to the kaon mass difference. The principal ideas of the model are inspired by the AdS/CFT correspondence, which is believed to be exact. The calculation is first performed theoretically, highlighting the expansion of the result into a diagrammatic structure referred to as Witte

EU:s regelverk om offentlig upphandling uppdaterades 2014 och snart kommer uppdateringen i den svenska lagtexten. Det blir nu ännu tydligare att det är tillåtet att ställa miljökrav vid offentlig upphandling. Det är en vanlig uppfattning att det inte går att upphandla varor, tjänster och byggnadsverk med bättre miljöprestanda eftersom att de traditionellt sett inte kan konkurrera med kriteriet ”This is a master’s thesis about green public procurement (GPP) in the construction sector, based on a legal dogmathic study and a case study. The legal dogmathic part focused on both EU-legislation and on Swedish legislation. The case study was performed on the municipal of Lund to understand how a small authority works with GPP. The study of EU-legislation shows that the possibility to request b

This thesis explores the structure and discursive frames in the rhetoric of the online extreme right network in Finland. Departing from the constraints of identity and ideology, the individual nodes are seen as a part of a network that mobilizes on the basis of shared discourses. Social network analysis is utilized to explore the structure and connections of the extreme right. This is followed by
