Abstract:

It has gone more than 50 years since Sweden officially started organizing and giving development assistance to needing countries. There have been many different Governments with differences in both ideological background and political aim during that time, not only in Sweden but also internationally. How much has circumstances and the different rule affected the Swedish development assistance policies? To answer that question has been the main aim for this thesis.

Abstract:

Ownership is a guiding principle in today’s development cooperation practices, aiming to foster an efficient development cooperation driven by the recipients. However, ownership is paradoxical and ambiguous. No coherent understanding of ownership exists. The multistakeholder development cooperation arena is argued to complicate the recipients’ possibilities to acquire ownership. As the literature lacks an eastern European perspective, this study addresses the above-mentioned dimensions by examining ownership in Swedish development cooperation with Ukraine. By conducting interviews, this study

Abstract:

A growing consensus regarding the positive benefits of trade has during the last decades attracted actors from the developing world to enter the world market. Official Development Assistance (ODA) and more especially Aid for Trade (AfT) have thus come to play an important role in development strategies. This paper seeks to empirically analyze the link between bilateral trade and ODA and AfT, given by Sweden. The paper uses a gravity model of trade and includes 126 countries during the period 1996 to 2009. The estimates indicate that both Sweden and its trading partners engage in more bilatera

Abstract:

Over the past decade, fragile states has become a resonant term in the development lexicon, frequently employed to draw attention to the need to assist these countries. Among other reasons, external intervention has been justified by their lagging performance in the achievement of development outcomes and the threats they impose to global security and stability. Still, fragile states impose a dilemma. Although they are in great need of development assistance, aid towards these countries is expected to be less effective. This is the starting point of this thesis, which contributes to the unders

Of all these HDIs, the results of the analysis show that health aid is the most effective form of aid, significantly reducing the incidence of HIV, the infant mortality rate and the maternal mortality rate, as wel

The rapid development of wind energy in Sweden created a volatile environment for the electricity market. Variance in the daily prices and the reductions of the average prices over the years due to the merit order effect of intermittent wind energy resulted in increased unpredictability in financial returns, which led to many wind projects being cancelled. In this thesis, in order to shed more light on the impact of wind energy development on spot prices, an artificial neural network (ANN) electricity price forecasting model is designed in order to predict Sweden’s four electricity regions Nor

Abstract:

Due to the growing world population, the environmental impact from the food supply chain is currently increasing in a global perspective, essentially because the global food consumption is increasing in general. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that about one third of the edible portions of the food produced globally is lost or wasted along the way from raw materials to the dinner plate. When food is produced, transported, stored, treated and processed in different ways it consumes a lot of resources and energy and causes large negative impact on the environment due to

Abstract:

The demand and consumption of food products created by the livestock- and fishing industries, have a major environmental impact, affecting climate change, biodiversity, and ecosystems. Yet, there seems to be a lack of public awareness of the direct impact one’s choice of food has on the environment, which suggests that more effective efforts are needed in order to introduce the concept to consumers. By the influence of a post-humanist perspective, this thesis investigates how the environmental impact of consuming animal-based food is communicated by Swedish environmental non-governmental organ

Abstract:

<p>This thesis examines labour conditions in Vietnam, and the impact of Swedish investments and trade on these conditions. The thesis is a qualitative investigation that includes a theoretical and an empirical part. The theories we use are international trade theory, focusing on comparative advantage and the Heckscher-Ohlin theory. We also utilise Solow’s growth model and the theory about FDI. The concept of social dumping and the effect of imposing a social clause is also discussed. We are using the ILO’s eight core conventions about minimum standards on labour conditions as a measuring instr

Abstract:

By 2050, the world population is projected to exceed nine billion and sustainable development measures are therefore critical. There has been a clear consensus internationally regarding the importance of assessing projects’ environmental impacts as a mean to promote sustainable development. The environmental impact assessment (EIA) system has a fundamental role of being a tool for reaching sustainable development. Therefore, continuously enhancing its quality by evaluating the system is important. This study focused on the quality of the review process in the Swedish EIA system, as it is the l

Abstract:

The objective of this study is to investigate how banks are working with information security by performing a comparative study between banks in Japan and Sweden. Special focus is given to the impact of organizational culture when developing IT-systems. The material analyzed is collected through semi-structured interviews with banks in Japan and Sweden, and additional interviews with professionals within the field of information security. The findings show that banks in both Japan and Sweden take information security seriously, both from a technical and an organizational culture point of view.

Abstract:

The most stated goals of Official Development Aid (ODA) programmes are the eradication of poverty and the reduction of income disparities. Yet, after seventy years of foreign aid, most of the world still lives in chronic poverty and malnutrition. A direct link to this issue regards the fragile nature of developing countries’ health systems. This, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, further undermines the situation of the region, complicated by economic crisis, ethnic tensions, civil wars, and political instability. Therefore, Development Assistance for Health (DAH) has significantly increased ov

Abstract:

Food-for-Work (FFW) was conceived as both a short-run assistance program for meeting basic food needs of low income households, and as a long-run developmental tool for building infrastructure and for providing income to ease capital constraints on farm production. However, it was feared that FFW might divert labor from own-farm production and reduce the level of locally produced food crops. The purpose of this dissertation was to empirically examine these hypotheses in the Ewalel and Marigat locations of Baringo District, Rift Valley Province, Kenya.

Abstract:

This thesis takes as its starting point the proposition that the restricted development of law centres in the United Kingdom has been a result of the exercise of power by the legal profession. This was based on the evidence of the legal profession's influence on the initial development of public legal services policy and the profession's active opposition to the emergence of the first law centres in the United Kingdom. However, law centres remained on the margins of public legal services policy, despite the retreat of the profession from its original position. Thus, it was suggested that the k
