This text attempts to describe and analyze the haptic relations between non-official, i.e. independent, cinema and market-led urbanization in contemporary China. From the theoretical context of recent scholarship on Visual Culture and film history, it's argued that motion pictures and the Visual are in fact crucial to modernization. Using the theories of Henri Lefebvre and Michel de Certeau th
In this thesis I will study China's environmental policy process and the challenges of creating and implementing air pollution policies in China. The remarkable economic performance of China in the past 20 years has caused its environment a tremendous distress. The Chinese government have created a quite comprehensive legal framework in order to protect the environment, but the implementation
When researched and discussed as a legal notion, sovereignty is difficult to define&semic as a strict definition will in all probability be built on subjective state values, and will also change due to adoption or denunciation of treaties, and changes in the overall international political climate. Therefore, as an effect, scholars have declared sovereignty as dead and, thus, of no value to th
In the past three decades, food packaging technology has undergone rapid change and the interest for packaging performance has increased. In developing countries, the main focus is to drive down the prices, resulting in primary packaging that often requires a greater need for a stronger secondary packaging than other countries. Yet at the same time, it is seldom that the primary and secondary pack

Sedan slutet av 1980-talet då Lagen om målsägandebiträde (1988:609) introducerades har svenska sexualbrottsoffer haft rätt till ett särskilt juridiskt biträde i form av det statligt finansierade målsägandebiträdet. Den bakomliggande idén till lagens införande var att kvinnor som utsatts för sexuella övergrepp är i behov av extra stöd och hjälp genom det straffrättsliga förfarandet, särskilt under Since the late 1980s when the Counsel for Injured Party Act (1988:609) was introduced, Swedish victims of sexual assault have had the right to a special legal counsel in the form of a government funded counsel for injured party. The underlying idea behind the Act was that sexually assaulted women are in need of extra support and assistance through the legal proceedings, especially during the preli
The following work presents a theoretical model for evaluating the eective correlation time, e, in regards to surfactants in lamellar phase, by focusing on nuclear spin relaxation processes. The dynamics of the C-H bonds is studied through a specic form of the autocorrelation function, g( ), which undergoes a plateau region at intermediate time-scales equals to the square of the order parameter, S
The Latin American music genre reggaetón has since its very recent emergence gained massive audiences, and is today widely listened to all across the region. The song lyrics have, however, received criticism for allegedly reinforcing stereotypical gender roles built on machismo and sexist values, partly because of the majority of reggaetón producers and performers being men. This thesis aims to ex
The EU has a legacy of being a normative power. They also have a history of cooperating with developing countries trying to promote these normative ideals. This cooperation is for example guided by the promotion of human rights, democracy and the rule of law to mention a few. The study aims to investigate this characteristica concerning the EU’s relations with South Africa. South Africa is a quite
Nearly US$25 trillion is currently invested through Collective Investment Vehicles (hereinafter: “CIVs”) worldwide. CIVs calculate net asset values (hereinafter: “NAV”) on a daily basis, since such values are the basis for subscriptions and redemptions. In calculating net asset values, a CIV must take into consideration any withholding tax benefits by applicable tax treaties. CIVs require certaint
Concurrent with the acceleration of globalization there has been an increasing tendency of communal conflicts. Resisting the possibility of the Indian government to acquire land, an expanding movement of opposition is taking place. The purpose of this paper is to highlight what motivates people to turn toward violence. The paper focuses on the Maoist movement in Chhattisgarh, India, tracing the pr
Problem definition: In times of increased globalization, the question of to what degree global companies should standardize their business is a topic often addressed in academic research. Connected to a decision between standardization and adaptation are tradeoffs, as both directions bring about advantages that would otherwise not be fulfilled. Tetra Pak Korea is an example of a case where such tr
The scientific consensus on climate change is clear, but the social consensus in the United States has yet to concur. Mainstream explanations for the failure of the American public to engage the climate change problem often refer to an information deficit or lacking political will, but have not proven sufficient in accounting for such behavior. A deeper look reveals that the problem lies at the so
