The theoretical framework I have constructed for the purpose of this study mainly con

This theory implies a raised level of media consciousness and adjustment to media’s news values among political decision makers in a setting where institutionalized advisory arrangements are no longer exclusive.

The present study concerns itself with an aspect of the migration-development debate that has heretofore been surprisingly neglected in academic research. While migrants’ transnational engagement have drawn much attention, the corresponding outreach undertaken by emigration states to actively ‘court’ the diaspora has until recently escaped notice. This study advances the theoretical and empirical

The effects of welfare regimes over inequality have been studied through several approaches, but perhaps the most notorious contribution in this regard has been Korpi’s “Paradox of Redistribution”, which argues that the most equalizing welfare regimes are the ones that employ earnings-related, as opposed to flat-rate, benefits in their welfare institutions. Scandinavian states have employed this s

Bestämmelser om tvångslikvidation vid kapitalbrist har funnits i svensk aktiebolagsrätt sedan 1895 års ABL. Idag stadgas reglerna i 25 kap. 13-20§§ ABL. Det som fastslås i ABL skiljer sig från liknande stadgor i övriga Europa, detta är något som väcker frågor. Stadgandet i 25 kap. 13-20§§ ABL ställer upp åligganden för ett bolags styrelsemedlemmar. Dessa åligganden sanktioneras med ett personligThe provisions on compulsory winding-up due to capital shortage have been found in the Swedish corporate law since 1895. Today the rules are stipulated in Chapter 25, Section 13-20 in The Swedish Corporate Act (ABL). What is set in ABL differs from similar laws in other European countries and this raises some questions. The provisions in Chapter 25, Section 13-20 ABL sets up duties for the member

Det finns ett stort mörkertal vid våldtäkter, vilket betyder att väldigt få anmäler att de har blivit våldtagna. Överlag är det ett stort mörkertal vid sexualbrott och underökningar tyder på att endast 10-20 % av alla sexualbrott anmäls. Ett problem är att många inte vill erkänna att de blivit utsatta, vilket gör att det blir svårt att få reda på hur stort mörkertalet faktiskt är. För att få fram There is a large dark figure of rapes, which means that very few report that they have been raped. Overall is it a large dark figure of sexual crimes and it is estimated that only 10-20 % of all sexual crimes are reported. One problem is that many do not want to admit that they are exposed, so it becomes difficult to know how large the dark figure of crime actually is. To obtain the dark figure of

Despite the growing efforts by international and national actors to combat trafficking in human beings, the slavery of our time is flourishing. Among the victims of trafficking, children are especially vulnerable, as they completely dependent on adults for livelihood and rights. In the contemporary debate few studies treat trafficking as a problem in its own right. This study aims to correct this

I want to find out the reasons to why we have lost the ability to have compassion and to care for children even though they are not biologically connected to us, especially I want to know why people working in fields that exist to protect and help children many times do more harm than good.

Som studenter vid Lunds Universitet och Enheten för media- och kommunikationsvetenskap har vi funnit att svensk media mer och mer har börjat uppmärksamma och belysa personer med funktionsnedsättning. Vi ser dessa individer i allt ifrån tidningsartiklar till i långfilmer. Intresset har legat i hur dessa personer framställs och vad det är för typ av bild som media väljer att belysa. Vi har valt att
