Kliniska beslutsstödssystem (CDSS) är digitala verktyg som jämför patientdata med medicinsk kunskap för att ge vårdpersonal rekommendationer om diagnostik och behandling, ofta utan att patienten känner till det. I takt med att allt fler svenska regioner inför digitala vårdsystem väcker detta frågor om hur vårdtagare bedömer sådan dataanvändning. Tidigare forskning har i huvudsak fokuserat på vårdp

Uppsatsen undersöker hur beslutsfattare i svenskt näringsliv resonerar kring modernisering av legacy system, och vilken roll externa kontra verksamhetsnära drivkrafter spelar i sådana beslut. Underlaget består av fyra semistrukturerade intervjuer med personer i ledande befattning inom finans, telekom och verkstadsindustri. Uppsatsen finner att gränsen mellan externa och interna drivkrafter är svå

Public oversight depends not only on public documents, but on traceable relations between them. This bachelor thesis examines how selected UKÄ legal-supervision findings and subsequent public governance documents produce different levels of public follow-up visibility. It asks what distinguishes cases where an oversight report makes expected action visible from cases where later public documents p

Organizations undergoing post-merger ERP transformations face significant challenges in designing unified master data governance frameworks. This study investigates how the post-merger context shapes master data governance design through a qualitative single case study of a large global company adopting a renewal integration strategy. Findings offer practitioners insights: a "renewal" ap

Since 2024, the Swedish women’s rights organisation Kvinna till Kvinna offers a leadership training programme for women who have migrated, or who have parents who have migrated. Kvinna till Kvinna refers to these women as “women with a migration background”. The programme was presented as a response to the underrepresentation of “women with a migration background” in leadership positions, and to p

The European Union was founded based on the liberal idea that economic interdependence would prevent war among member states, an idea that has also shaped its economic policy. In recent time, strategic tools have been integrated in economic policy to reach geopolitical means, which contradicts with its traditional liberal values. This essay examines how the European Union’s view of security is dis

This study examines similarities and differences between the nuclear doctrines of France, Russia and the United States, and how these can be interpreted through Thomas Schelling’s framework on credibility, deterrence and risk. The study is based on a qualitative comparative content analysis of official doctrinal documents, focusing on purpose, nuclear capability and conditions of use. The results

When Europe speaks of security, it speaks of itself. The increased security threats posed by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and American protectionism has changed the geopolitical context of the European Union, which seems to have increased EU officials’ emphasis on a European identity in political speeches. Consequently, this thesis sought to investigate the link between security threats and Europe

Conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) against women can be considered a crime against humanity when used as a strategy in war. The purpose of this thesis is to, through a qualitative case study of the Bosnian War, map out how CRSV was used during the war, how it can be explained, and if there is a way to separate strategic and opportunistic rape in wartime. The research questions are answered th

This bachelor’s thesis examines how Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala and Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico justify their foreign and security policy positions regarding the war in Ukraine through a comparative idea analysis. Drawing on social constructivism and combining Benedict Anderson’s concept of imagined communities, Maurice Halbwachs’ theory of collective memory, and Robert Entman’s framing

This study examines how the Trump administration legitimizes the military interventions in Venezuela and Iran during 2026 through legal, moral, and political arguments. The aim is to analyze how the administration justifies the use of military force and which ideas and values carry this legitimization. The study is based on a qualitative comparative research design in which three political stateme

This study examines the role of civil society organizations in the integration of Swedish Afghans in France, referring to Afghan refugees who, after repeated asylum rejections in Sweden, have relocated to France to reapply for asylum. This type of secondary movement of asylum seekers challenges the viability of the EU’s system of refugee reception and is heavily restricted by the Dublin Regulation

The “teenage deportations” emerged from more austere migration politics and have received considerable medial attention in Sweden since early January. This paper broadens the literature on the depiction of migrants through this contemporary case and expands previous research, primarily focused on ethnicity, gender and religion. A qualitative critical discourse analysis (CDA), combined with mediat

This study explores how expert knowledge is perceived and how the government adjusts to expert knowledge within the Swedish referral system, by studying the case of the Security Zones Act (Lagen om säkerhetszoner, SFS 2024:200). The purpose is to analyze how experts and officials perceive the referral systems’ instrumental and symbolic meaning, and how the Swedish government adjusts to the expert

This study examines how the reform from the Department of Education (SOU 2021:30) aimed at improving students’ achievement through additional study time and expanded school programs is implemented in elementary schools. The focus is on teachers’ perceptions and the importance of their room for maneuver and organizational conditions. The study addresses two research questions; how teachers perceive

Sweden and its Nordic neighbours have for a long time been understood as norm entrepreneurs on the international stage. This role appears to be challenged by events, changes and legitimacy crises in the international order. With a theoretical underpinning in role theory this essay aims to explore whether and how Sweden can be understood as a norm entrepreneur by constituting an ideal type over a n

This study examines how the Danish government responded to American pressure regarding Greenland between December 2024 and February 2026, and how this response can be understood in light of Denmark’s position as a small state in an asymmetric alliance relationship with the United States. Drawing on shelter theory and pragmatic idealism, the study applies explaining outcome process tracing to anal

Since the end of World War II, the relationship between China and Japan has been complicated. A lot of which has to do with the Japanese handling of atrocities committed by the Japanese empire. Collectively dubbed the history problem, it serves as an example of when constructed ideas and narratives shape international relations. With the Chinese side accusing Japan of denying the events and the Ja

In post-conflict societies, transitional justice processes must navigate the tension between victimhood and perpetratorhood in relation to child soldiers. This study examines how the Sierra Leone Truth and Reconciliation Commission constructs and negotiates this relationship in its representations of child soldiers. One chapter of the Commission’s Final Report is analyzed through three dimensions

The introduction of soft policy instruments is increasing across multiple policy domains. One example of this is the national coordinator for voluntary repatriation (frivillig återvandring) appointed in 2025 by the Swedish government. The purpose was to improve coordination between municipalities and governmental authorities in order to increase voluntary repatriation. The reception of this policy
