Johan Matz has published an article in Intelligence and National Security. This article approaches the intelligence dimension of Sweden’s arms exports by going back to three governmental decisions, taken in 1914, 1935 and 1971 respectively, all of which have been pivotal to both the Swedish government’s involvement in arms exports and the emergence of government institutions handling the intellige

In a newly published article in The British Journal of Politics and International Relations, Catarina Kinnvall and Ted Svensson analyse the appeal of far-right populist politics in the everyday and how this appeal is related to continuity and change in the global order. One of their key arguments is that while far-right populism is able to momentarily overwrite a sense of deep-felt anxiety among i

I kapitlet ”The EU’s Self-Conception of Its Roles in Global Affairs” analyserar Rikard Bengtsson EU:s egen rolluppfattning som utrikespolitisk aktör så som den framträder i EU:s globala strategi från 2016 och problematiserar hur de senaste årens förändrade internationellpolitiska kontext ger nya förutsättningar för EU att agera på den globala arenan. Kapitlet ingår i den nyligen utkomna antologin

New article by Ted Svensson and Agnes Cornell on the introduction of merit reforms in nineteenth-century Britain and its possible colonial origins. In a newly published article in Governance, Ted Svensson (together with Agnes Cornell) explores whether the inspiration to reform the British Civil Service, along the lines suggested in the 1854 Northcote-Trevelyan Report, was drawn from the introducti

I artikeln jämförs två tillvägagångssätt för transnationell humanitär återhämtning som italienska organisationer använde sig av för barn som drabbades av kärnkraftskatastroferna i Tjernobyl och Fukushima. Det första tillvägagångssättet var hemvistelse och det andra - lägervistelse. Med hjälp av djupintervjuer med barn och deras föräldrar från Belarus och Japan samt rapporter från icke-statliga org

Vilka läxor bör svensk förvaltning ha lärt sig av Coronapandemin? Bland annat att det finns ett tyst men kreativt entreprenörskap i offentlig sektor, och att den öppna svenska strategin inte innebar öppenhet för alla grupper.

A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that the presence or absence of moonlight has a considerable bearing on when migratory birds take flight in the autumn. Together with colleagues at the Department of Biology at Lund University, Gabriel Norevik studied European nightjars (Caprimulgus europaeus) and how the lunar cycle and moonlight affect the departure time when the birds start their

Martin Leijnse, researcher in solid state physics at Lund University in Sweden, has received a prestigious European Research Council (ERC) synergy grant worth EUR 1.5 million. He shares the total grant amount of EUR 10 million with three researchers from the University of Copenhagen. The four researchers have worked together previously. Among other things, they have contributed to proving that a l

The jet-setting habits of Bill Gates and Paris Hilton mean that they produce an astonishing 10,000 times more carbon emissions from flying than the average person. This was the conclusion of my research mining their social media accounts (tweets, Instagram and Facebook posts) as well as those of a number of other celebrities for clues as to where they were in the world over the course of 2017 and

International sustainability policies set out clear goals for protecting ecosystems and biodiversity, but how to actually achieve these goals remains elusive in practice, as biodiversity loss continues at an alarming rate. A new study published in the journal Nature Sustainability by an international team of 32 scientists identifies key knowledge gaps that need to be answered to tackle the root ca

An international study led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden and The University of Western Australia shows that the pressure from water droplets on a leaf surface triggers stress hormones like jasmonic acid. These cellular changes become apparent very quickly and can could make plants better equipped to withstand disease and drought. In contrast to humans, plants cannot feel pain. Howeve

Endurance running is often seen as a welcome escape from everyday life. But extraordinary experiences, such as running ultra-marathons, are not untouched by the competitive nature of contemporary consumer culture, a new thesis from Lund University in Sweden argues. The at times romanticized notion of experiencing complete freedom through running, co-exists with underlying motivating factors such a

Insulin which is released by pancreatic beta-cells is the main regulator of blood sugar.

An international research team have discovered a peculiar object circling a red giant star. The celestial body is invisible but still has a strong impact on the star’s orbit. With the help of data simulations carried out at Lund University, the researchers have now been able to establish that the mysterious companion must be a black hole. The giant star is around 10 000 light years from the sun. I

Controlling smartphones by a simple swipe of your hand is the latest innovation to be introduced to phone owners. However, radar sensors with higher accuracy would take the concept from gimmick to practical usefulness, according to researchers at Lund University in Sweden.

An international study led from Lund University in Sweden shows that 30 per cent of the energy in a certain type of light-absorbing iron molecule disappears in a previously unknown manner. By closing this loophole, the researchers hope to contribute to the development of more efficient solar cells using this iron-based solar cell. The sun is an unlimited source of pure and renewable energy. Howeve

Directly after birth, the immune system completes production of a subtype of antibody-producing immune cells, B-1, that are to last for a lifetime. No more B1-cells are formed after that point. However, these cells are self-reactive – they produce not only antibodies against foreign substances, but also against the body’s own substances, and it is unclear why the immune system allows for the devel
