I dagens postindustriella och globaliserade planering kan man i litteratur urskilja två dominerande planeringsteorier vilka står i kontrast mot varandra, nyliberal respektive kommunikativ planeringsteori. Den nyliberala planeringsteorin utgår från en stark tro på den fria marknaden där ett decentraliserat och effektivt styre skapar planerade lösningar som gagnar den ekonomiska tillväxten, där väls

In this study, I suggest that freegan practices can be studied in relation to primitivism––a cultural strategy that advocates a return to nature, or alternatively, a return to a more ‘wild’ state of being. Individuals known as freegans are primarily young westerners who choose to fulfill their needs––be it sustenance, desire, or other essential services––without participating in the formal economy

The big three American-based rating agencies Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch are frequently accused of pursuing their sovereign ratings in the interest of their home country – the United States. Since these agencies have crucial influence on the financing costs of countries and share the sovereign rating market in an oligopoly structure, the question of independence is of crucial importan

Nyhetsläsning sker allt mer via de sociala medierna vilket skapar nya förhållanden för konsumtionen av nyheter och därmed även en förändring av det offentliga samtalet. Genom sociala medier kan individer anpassa sin nyhetskonsumtion till att främst handla om egna intressen och med enkla medel dela utvalda nyheter med utvalda vänner. Möjligheten att dela nyheter med andra skapar även möjligheten at

This paper presents a case study from the Gambella region of Ethiopia, where large-scale land concessions shape the resource system and necessitate adoption of new institutions. Private investors are free from water charges, and have the right to take over already built irrigation structures such as dams or main canals. The Alwero river in Gambella, located in the Baro-Akobo river basin, is one of

Responsibility to Protect (R2P) is a principle that is always up for discussion, and has been since it was first mentioned in the ICISS report from 2001, which was issued as a consequence of that rhetorical question that Secretary General Kofi Annan asked about the genocide that occurred in Rwanda and Srebrenica in the 1990s. He questioned how we should react to systematic violations of Human Righ

Syfte: Syftet med den här studien är att få en ökad insikt i hur sociala medier påverkar konsumenter och belysa hur företag kan tillgodose sig deras agerande för att bygga starka varumärken på dessa forum. Metod: Forskningen är av tolkande och kvalitativ karaktär, med ett reflexivt synsätt. Teoretiska perspektiv: Uppsatsens teoretiska perspektiv grundas i existerande litteratur rörande varumärk

Denna uppsats behandlar skydd för utländska investeringar och indirekt expropriation i internationell rätt. En erkänd regel inom internationell rätt föreskriver att egendom som tillhör utländska investerare inte får tillvaratas utan tillräcklig kompensation, oavsett om det är för ett offentligt ändamål eller inte. Medan en bedömning av direkt expropriation anses relativt okomplicerad att företa ha

The Chinese Central Government has made the promotion of biomass energy an important aspect of China’s national development plans on renewable energy. Numerous biomass energy projects emerged in rural areas in recent years. Official pronouncements regard biomass energy as an effective solution to China’s energy need and environmental problems. However, there is a general lack of understanding on w

Besittningsbegreppet är och har länge varit ett centralt begrepp inom den svenska sakrätten. Begreppet är avgörande i många fall, men saknar trots detta en reell definition. Inom sakrätten är besittning ett viktigt rättsfaktum som både presumerar äganderätt och skänker förfogandelegitimation. Detta märks framförallt när det handlar om tre typiska sakrättsliga problemsituationer: tvesala, godtrosföThe concept of possession is and has long been a central concept of the Swedish property law. Being a crucial and important concept, it has none the less never been fully defined by Swedish law. Possession is an important element of property law; being in possession of personal property means one is presumed to own the property or, at least, use the property. This becomes obvious when one looks at

De senaste åren har en debatt uppkommit angående om lagstiftningen bör ses över gällande våldtäkt. Det som framförallt debatteras är om ett samtyckeskrav bör införas. I denna uppsats kommer dock frågan om grov oaktsamhet bör kriminaliseras, med fokus på hur det kan legitimeras och hur det kan påverka domstolarnas dömande. För att bli dömd för brottet våldtäkt krävs det med nuvarande lagstiftningA debate has arisen during the last couple of years regarding rape in the Swedish Penal Code. The main topic of the debate is whether the current rape legislation is adequate, or if it should be replaced by a non-consent regulation. However, this paper will focus on the question if gross negligence should be regulated, if it would be a legitimate regulation, and how it could affect the ruling in c

Small and medium enterprises account for more than 90% of all enterprises operating in China, contribute to more than 60% of GDP and create about 80% of country’s jobs (Xinhua 2012). Large scale of the SME industry impacts significantly both on environment and social structures (Randriamalala et al. 2013:88). In the context of such importance of SME industry for economy and society it is logical t

Studien fokuserade på att synliggöra hur den subjektiva livskvaliteten påverkas av hanteringsförmåga samt olika upplevelser till följd av långvarig värk och smärta. Även eventuella könsskillnader uppmärksammades. Samtliga deltagare var whiplash-skadade personer, då långvarig värk och olika smärtsymptom är de vanligaste problem för whiplash-skadade. Studien omfattade 84 personer, 66 kvinnor och 18

The last decades China was highly relaying on export led growth, which drove the economy to enormous GDP growth rates. Due to the financial crisis in 2007/2008, its trade partners were loosing the ability to import as much as before and China’s GDP growth started to decline. The reason for that is the neglect of the domestic consumption rate of private households. This paper examines the correlati
