Botswana is known as the ‘Diamond of Africa’ due to its unique success in avoiding the resource curse, the paradox where resource-rich developing countries experience poor economic and social outcomes while trapped in a cycle of underdevelopment. Despite the consequences of the resource curse, such as higher corruption and conflict, impacting development as a whole, much of the existing literature
3AbstractThis study primarily aims at identifying whether the Swedish excise tax on certain electronic products have had an effect regarding the chemical content of such products since its implementation in mid-2017. The tax is meant to reduce the presence of dangerous flame retardants in the affected products, that otherwise risk harming the public or the environment. Potential negative effects o
The historical turn in human rights studies is characterized by a deep cleavage between scholars who locate the origins of human rights in the Atlantic Revolutions of the late 18th century, and scholars who instead focus on the post-WWII period in general, and on the 1970s in particular as a breakthrough decade for international human rights. Against the background of what has been described as th
The aim of this paper is to address the importance of communication theory for the understanding of strategic communication. Underlying this focus are the debates and discussions on the definition of strategic communication, which have primarily been occupied with the meaning of the concept strategic. The definition and meaning of communication tend to be implicit or undefined and Van Ruler (2018)
This report presents an integrated simulation-based approach to study the on-site production of concrete frameworks by considering the multiple effects of weather on work task productivity and concrete curing process. The suggested approach enable to systematically study how different weather conditions and the use of climate-improved concrete in combination with different methods to shield concre
This thesis deals with local government bodies, especially municipalities, as parties to contracts. It primarily focuses on general problems relating to the competence of a municipality to enter into contracts, and the subsequent legal effects, in light ofthe principles and rules ofpublic and private law. When analysing a contract to which a governmental body is a party, it is necessary to conside

During the 1990s a new pension system was introduced which is why an evaluation is of interest. Through theories ab
Online engagement with criminal cases is often interpreted in either punitive or crowdsourcing terms, but interactionist and ethnomethodological analyses can disclose other and more fundamental aspects.

Recreational hunting in Sweden can be described as embedded in two different but overlapping cultural and

Denser urban places have in most cases not been designed to attract or keep families as inhabitants, instead focusing on other qualities and user-groups. This has consequently led to a family flight from urban settings to monofunctional family oriented suburbs, in many chases exhilarating car-depencany
