Perpetrators of the crime take people away from their homes and their origins, either through coercion or threat of force, and instead place them in frightful environments where their survival and human dignity is constantly at risk. Legal measures to fight huma

Tidigare forskning har uppmärksammat en ökning av stressrelaterade symtom hos svenska skolungdomar. Ur ett folkhälsoperspektiv finns det vinster i riktade insatser till denna grupp, inte minst för gymnasieelever som står nära inträde till arbetsmarknaden. Ett begrepp som har uppmärksammats i relation till långvarig stress är utmattningssyndrom.

Under 2016 slöt EU och Turkiet en överenskommelse om att minska antalet ”irreguljära migranter” som tog sig från Turkiet vidare in i EU. Överenskommelsen innebär att asylsökande som tar sig in i Grekland via Turkiet kommer få sina ansökningar bedömda som ogrundade och återsändas till Turkiet på grunden att Turkiet är ett så kallat ”säkert tredjeland”. Syftet med denna uppsats är att öka förståelsIn 2016 the EU and Turkey reached an agreement with the goal to end “irregular migration” from Turkey to the EU.

This research studies problems in implementation principles can face when it comes to sexual education in Swedish high schools. Skolinspektionen recently published a report on sexual education in Sweden showing that sexual education is unequal amongst Swedish schools.

This thesis asks why the EU has expanded its military interventions in Somalia to a broad, multifaceted engagement. The thesis is a theoretically-informed, empirically-driven case study.

I have formulated assumptions from these conceptions of global justice, which direct the analysis in answering the research question. The primary

The relationship between Turkey and the EU is one that stands out as specifically unique due to a decades-long controversy about what constitutes European identity in relation to Turkey’s bid for EU membership. This long-standing debate about Turkey regards an identity based on two differing concepts of Modern Europe and Europe where Modern Europe is seen as the ‘inclusive’ and Europe is viewed as

During the last decade Sweden has seen rising immigration of vulnerable EEA/EU citizens. In many cases these individuals live in homelessness and difficult social conditions. In desperate situations municipalities can provide support. However, the level of support that is provided for EEA/EU citizens varies greatly between municipalities.

The study was conducted from a realistic point of view with the purpose to put the trade dispute in a broader context of the realistic theories. The study concludes that the theory of economic nationalism and protectionism, by its

Lobbyism is a central term in Swedish contemporary politics, as it affects political decisions in distinct ways. Lobbyism is a well-known force, yet it is operating on different levels of power than regular politics, in public as well as in more discrete contexts. Therefore, I find this complex phenomenon to be an interesting case to investigate due to the fact that the effect it has on citizens a
