Den här uppsatsen ämnar att undersöka varför Sverige skickade in en Natoansökan efter Rysslands invasion av Ukraina under 2022 istället för efter annekteringen av Krimhalvön 2014. Sverige har en lång historia av militär alliansfrihet och den svenska säkerhetspolitiken har präglats av Hultqvist doktrinen sedan 2014. Varför övergavs den 2022? Genom en kritisk diskursanalys kombinerat med säkerhetise
Bakgrund: Våld kan beskrivas på diverse olika sätt. Våld utgörs av avsiktliga handlingar av försummelse, fysisk-, psykisk- eller sexuella slag. Idag är arbetsrelaterat våld ett globalt problem som under senare år belyses allt mer. I vissa branscher föreligger det högre risker för att utsättas för hot och våld. För blåljusverksamheter är hot och våld vanligt förekommande. Syfte: Syftet med genomför

Trends show a decline in democracy in the CEE region which has mostly been analyzed through the democratic backsliding paradigm. However, recent scholars have proposed another perspective for this trend, the careening paradigm. This paper examines the contemporary democratic development from 2018 to 2023 in the Visegrád Four to explain which theoretical perspective is the most suitable to describe
This thesis delves into the complex nature of Swedish-Turkish relations in the context of Sweden’s NATO-application, focusing primarily on the presence of the PKK in the bilateral relations. The dynamics of this framework, highlighted by Turkey’s veto to the Swedish NATO-application, signifies a trajectory where security is increasingly a prioritized domain in political agendas globally. This rese
Using a framework for analyzing security policy consisting of a synthesis of the Multiple Streams Framework by Kingdon (2014) and Securitization theory as described by Balzacq (2010), this study aims to explain the process of Sweden’s national security policy between 2014 and 2022. Such an investigation has relevance particularly for studies of peace, security and policy processes, since it relate

This bachelor thesis aims at analyzing how the international system is divided into sovereign states. It examines the limitations of unrecognized states within the international system and why they aren’t given sovereignty. This is done through a normative ideational analysis complementary with theoretical analysis. The case of Somaliland as an unrecognized state is chosen to reflect the struggle
Climate change is an ever-increasing global phenomenon that affects the world on many levels, most notably environmentally. As some countries have better resources than others, and some are more vulnerable to the effects of climate change than others, climate change has a varied priority among the countries in the world. The way to prevent climate change from increasing is through acts of climate
In Sweden the discourse around heightened penalties and a stricter approach to combat criminality has intensified, notably highlighted by the cross-party shift and the right-wing block's victory in the 2022 elections. This trend reflects a growing societal interest in criminal policy, particularly among young voters. This study investigates the opinions of young individuals on criminal policy
Abstract The illegal wildlife trade (IWT) is the fourth largest global illegal crime, and it threatens the balance of ecosystems, biodiversity, and human security. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) is an international treaty, which purpose is to guarantee that international wildlife trade is legal, sustainable, and traceable. This study ex
This study develops the concept of 'realms of carbon’ to advance an understanding of climate politics in sites where carbon production and consumption, generating carbon emissions, is embedded in culture and identity. It does so by drawing on insights of three different theories, which in different ways, deal with dimensions of culture and identity to economic and political life. The study fur
This thesis investigates how China has demonstrated its assertiveness in the South China Sea throughout Xi Jinping's second presidential term, from March 2018 to March 2023. Employing the theoretical framework of Offensive Realism, the thesis seeks to unravel the motivations behind China's assertiveness in the South China Sea, contributing to a nuanced understanding of its strategic behavi
The purpose of this thesis is to study how different political orientations in Swedish foreign security policy have been legitimized. After having pursued a policy of neutrality and non-alignment for 200 years, Sweden made a decision to apply for membership in the military alliance NATO. The investigated time periods are 2014 and 2022, during which Sweden has chosen completely different strategies
This study desires to display two speeches that were crucial to the 2016 EU-referendum in Great Britain. The two actors portrayed with one speech each are Boris Johnson and David Cameron, although the speeches weren’t given during the same time they are both highly accurate and significant to the referendum. The two speeches are applied to theories of analogies and also strategic narratives. Based
Climate change is a highly relevant topic in both politics and media. During 2019 the climate issue was much discussed and a recurring theme in Swedish news media, which have led me to speculate on how the climate question was portrayed during this year. Based on this, the study examines how climate change is framed in the media during 2019, using 32 articles published in three of Swedens biggest
The following study delves into the congruence of three major IR theories. Constructivism, liberalism and realism. It delves into this congruence by testing their compatibility under a single analytical framework. To best highlight these theories overlapping sides I have chosen to find variants of the theories that I believe to be most similar to one another. Furthermore, an idea analysis is condu
After the 2014 invasion of contested areas in Iraq by the so-called Islamic State (IS), the Yazidi community has suffered dire consequences. Genocide, sexual enslavement, forced religious conversion and forced displacement were some of these horrendous acts committed by IS against the Yazidi community and other minorities in Iraq and Syria. This thesis builds from the infusion of agonist theory in
This thesis investigates the intertwining of corporate social responsibility (CSR) discourse and the European Union's strategy for sustainable and circular textiles through a single case study and critical frame analysis (CFA). By doing this, concurring discourse between corporations and the institutions aimed at governing them can be problematised. Derived from conventional and contemporary C
