Two theories concerning justice, and the means by which to accomplish it, are applied to The Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement, which goal is to lower the emissions of greenhouse gases into the athmosphere. The responsibility to do this is unequally divided between states. I discuss the justice in this from two points of view. First a morally oriented

Transitional justice inevitably means striking a balance between justice and peace.

Much attention has been paid to Western democracies? (in particular the United State?s) eagerness to promote (liberal) democracy worldwide. However, less attention has been paid to the domestic democratic condition in these countries. Consequently, this thesis is concerned with the state of democracy in the United States and the basic purpose is to evaluate its (e)quality. As a result, we apply t

This paper suggests that pre-transiton mobilisation and collective bargaining creates post transiton success. It also examines how the fragility of a gender identity often results in fragmentation of crosscutting women's organisations once democracy is established, resulting in poorer cooperation between women and effectively poorer struggle for gender equality. It is a case study that takes u

"The Value of Knowledge - Towards a Virtue Epistemological Position" The classical question, first posed in Plato's Meno, concerning the value of knowledge constitutes the starting point of this essay.

Processing information in complex everyday life recruites different abilities than limited storage capacity. Working memory, the central executive and inhibition are constructs that have been used to describe this ability of adaptation. This paper investigates the connection between working memory capacity and performances in tasks closely associated to real life situations, i. e. verbal fluency t
