This report aims to investigate the links between various environmental factors and coral bleaching in the Red Sea. Corals in the Red Sea have seen less bleaching than in other coral regions.

Development aid has been criticized for maintaining an unequal power relationship between donors and recipients and has therefore been compared to a form of colonialism. Post-colonial critics of development work argue that it reproduces colonial discourses, in which aid recipients are portrayed as subordinate to Western donors. This unequal power relationship also manifests itself materially, for

This thesis uses process-tracing to explore the interaction between the Regional Security Complex (RSC) in the Arctic as a case study and the security strategies of both Arctic and non-Arctic states.

How do countries become democratic? By employing process tracing this comparative case study strives to test the sufficiency of Jean Grugel’s alternative theoretical framework for explaining democratic transition and consolidation.

Using a discourse theory and postcolonial approach, this thesis examines how nature is constructed in the EU and India’s Nationally Determined Contributions to the Paris Agreement.

This thesis seeks to investigate the contemporary discourse on environmental activism in Sweden on a political elite level. This is done by analyzing statements by politicians behind “Tidöavtalet” using a method of Critical Discourse Analysis combined with a theoretical departure in Post-Politics. The findings point towards a discourse where environmental activists are depoliticized and constructe

It is sometimes said that modern politics has lost track of ideology and vision - that personal charisma and expertise is rewarded more than firm beliefs and connections with an organised movement. In their book Technopopulism: the New Logic of Democratic Politics, Christopher J. Bickerton and Carlo Invernizzi Accetti go beyond such suspicions. Their main argument is that the organisational politi

Political participation is in global decline and especially young citizens are called out for their low levels of participation. Simultaneously new political trends are emerging among today’s youths, one of them being engagement via social media. To further understand these developments, this thesis investigates high-educated youths’ perceptions of and feelings toward political engagement, includi

As one of the leading scholars on–and critics of–neoliberalism, Wendy Brown argues that neoliberal rationality undermines the prospect of democracy, as well as freedom. By using a contextualizing and reconstructive method, this study analyzes multiple works of B
