Mot bakgrund av att det inte ännu finns någon fungerande gemensam valuta inom EU kvarstår valutakursrisker som ett hinder för handel inom den inre marknaden. Dessa hinder har bland andra EUD angripit med stöd av fördragsfriheterna.

In current experiments at the high-power laser facility at the Lund Laser Centre, electrons accelerated to hundreds of MeV over short distances by means of laser wakefield acceleration in produced plasmas. To determine the amount of secondary radiation generated when accelerated electrons interact with surrounding materials is of interest to ensure a safe working environment. In this thesis, the

In the theoretical discussion, direct democratic theory is found to be inadequate in studying the effects of government-initiated referendums. Since the referendums are government-initiated, that negates the important aspect of bypassing elites. The referendum democracy concept
