This essay applies to cases when families that live in Sweden have to come apart when one parent has to return to the home country to seek a permit to which he or she is entitled.<br /> <br /> The rule causes families unnecessary suffering. This essay analyzes the reasons behind the rule and argues that it is compatible neither with Swedish policy of children&#39;s rights and gender equality nor with the international conventions that have been ratified.<br /> <br /> Furthermore, it is investigated whether the migration authorities act in compli-ance with the intentions behind the law. It is concluded that the Migration Board, despite their own critique of the rule, makes an unnecessarily restrictive interpre-tation. This results in a situation where no one takes responsibility for the conse-quences for the affected families. If the discrepancy between Sweden&#39;s engage-ments and its actions are to be overcome a solution must be found. This essay shows that either there must be a change of the law, or the Migration Board must acknowledge their authority to implement a more humane praxis. http://lup.lub.lu.se/student-papers/record/1320510/file/1320511.pdf application/pdf 338477 no 2008 swe anhöriginvandring familjeåterförening utlänningslagen barnets bästa barnkonventionen reglerad invandring mänskliga rättigheter handlingsutrymme förvaltning jämställdhet policy ämbetsmannatradition Political and administrative sciences Statsvetenskap, förvaltningskunskap Law and Political Science 1320510 2008-09-01T00:00:00+02:00 2008-09-03T00:00:00+02:00 2008-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 3 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml studentPublicationsM2 Viktoria Vincze author Magnus Jerneck supervisor Department of Political Science v1000693 department In 2004, the EU welcomed ten new member states.

The main research question is: How does the second generation of Tibetans in India express their identity, and what implications does this have on their belonging to a diasporic group? The aim of this paper is to present discourses within the Tibetan diaspora and how the second generation relates to these as well as creates its own. Theoretically it takes a constructivist point of departure and the empirical investigation was conducted through qualitative semi-structured interviews, personal communication and to a lesser extent focus group discussions.<br /> <br /> First the paper goes through some of the critical literature on orientalist descriptions and myths on Tibet. These Tibetologists question the portrayal of Tibet as ?Shangrila?, stating that it is a common, but orientalist, image not only in the ?West? but also among Tibetans in exile. The main theory applied is postcolonial diaspora theory focusing on hybridity and the empowering potential of diasporic belonging. The thesis concludes that although many respondents used stereotypes about themselves, such as ?Tibetans are compassionate?, they also embraced cultural change and modern/foreign elements, such as questioning essentialist understandings of culture by expressing that Tibetan culture is not some entity they need to, or can, preserve. http://lup.lub.lu.se/student-papers/record/1319633/file/1319634.pdf application/pdf 359925 no 2007 eng Tibetan youth diaspora hyperreality postcolonialism hybridity Social sciences Samhällsvetenskaper Social Sciences 1319633 2008-01-08T00:00:00+01:00 2008-01-30T00:00:00+01:00 2007-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 5 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml studentPublicationsH2 Amanda Nielsen author 1405809 Ylva Stubbergaard supervisor Department of Political Science v1000693 department This study explores the notion of class and social inequality as expressed in the Swedish election campaign of 2006 and in the reception of the Swedish conservative party as a &quot;worker&#39;s party&quot;. Inspired by Fairclough&#39;s critical discourse analysis I have carried through an investigation of the debate. My sources consists in a collection of articles, mainly leader columns and contributions to the debate, from a selected number of Swedish newspapers.<br /> <br /> I found that an explicit discussion about class, or use of the concept as such, was largely absent. In cases where the concept occurred it was often used in a purely descriptive sense or dismissed as outdated. Furthermore, I have drawn the conclusion that the traditional understanding of class is being challenged by a discourse which aims at establishing a new understanding of social inequality as lack of paid work.<br /> <br /> I take my point of departure in the belief that class continues to be one of the most important bases of social inequality. Furthermore, I believe that political articulation is a prerequisite of identification of common interests and, hence, collective struggle.

Who was the parish clerk? Is it possible to find out in what way his duties changed over time? The information mainly derives from written historical sources, such as<br /> <br /> laws. It seems like the parish clerk in the countryside often was a layman whom had to be approved by the parish, the parish priest or the bishop. His position in the early Middle Ages seems to have taken the form of assistant to the priest, participating in the liturgy. During the late Middle Ages his role seems to have degraded and shifted towards the form of servant to the priest. After the reformation his position seems to<br /> <br /> have improved again and one of his new duties was that of a teacher.

No earlier applications for membership in the EU have implied such lengthy preparations. This paper makes an attempt to describe this process in constructivist terms. In its emphasis on the importance of norms, values and rules, and how political identities are endogenously defined, this approach provides an understanding that much contrasts with the standard rationalist framework for studying international relations or European integration.<br /> <br /> The material for this paper has been gathered from a variety of sources. Since the constructivist approach focuses on delineating the relevant actors and describing their relations by examining what norms, values and rules are exhibited, different newspaper articles have been used to illustrate the process at issue. The empirical material also comprises official EU documents and protocols, various statements of officials, and literature on European and Turkish history and identity.<br /> <br /> The upshot of this paper is that constructivism is able provide a plausible description of the events examined, and that it therefore presents a complementary view on European integration in general, and European enlargement in particular. http://lup.lub.lu.se/student-papers/record/1319649/file/1319650.pdf application/pdf 108093 no 2007 eng Turkey EU constructivism European enlargement identity Social sciences Samhällsvetenskaper Political and administrative sciences Statsvetenskap, förvaltningskunskap Social Sciences Law and Political Science 1319649 2008-01-08T00:00:00+01:00 2008-01-30T00:00:00+01:00 2007-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 9 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml studentPublicationsM2 Anna Rasmusson author Mats Mogren supervisor Historical Archaeology v1000063 department Uppsatsen behandlar byggnadsutvecklingen i Bonderups kyrka från romansk tid till mitten av 1800 talet.

Decentralized<br /> <br /> structures of the global society are taken to use in the realization of a sustainable<br /> <br /> development. New roles of transnational networks and partnerships raises<br /> <br /> questions of the ability of global governance to co-ordinate and implement longterm<br /> <br /> solutions without assistance from centralized and hierarchic structures based<br /> <br /> on government. The aim for this thesis is to illustrate the current conditions for<br /> <br /> well-functioning networks of sustainable development and examine the<br /> <br /> relationship between global governance and government. Issues of participation,<br /> <br /> decision making and compliance are examined by a case study of the Marrakech<br /> <br /> process, a global process to support the implementation of sustainable<br /> <br /> consumption and production. The essay concludes that global governance and<br /> <br /> government are interdependent preconditions in the creation of long-term and<br /> <br /> effective networks.

The subject of this thesis is to find out how the local politicians in Vellinge make their considerations when they decide not to welcome refugees. The analysis uses the representation theory as a starting point. The two ideals of the representative role, either as a bound mandate or as a free independent role, is the base of the analysis. Vellinge is in the analysis compared to Lomma, a very similar municipality in southern Sweden that for a long time alsohas refused to accept refugees, however suddenly in 2007 decided to change their mind. The analysis shows that the main reason for Vellinge&#39;s decision most likely is the local politicians? view of themselves as bound by their mandate. They follow the will of the constituents without any deeper reflections. One way to change the mind of the politicians in Vellinge could be to stimulate an increased deliberation around the refugee issue, at the local as well as the national level. Another way could be to further clarify where the borders of responsibility are drawn between state and municipality in the refugee matter. http://lup.lub.lu.se/student-papers/record/1319673/file/1319674.PDF application/pdf 379931 no 2007 swe Vellinge Lomma refugee immigrant representative mandate municipality Political and administrative sciences Statsvetenskap, förvaltningskunskap Law and Political Science 1319673 2008-01-08T00:00:00+01:00 2008-01-30T00:00:00+01:00 2007-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 15 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml studentPublicationsM2 Mathias Johansson author Björn Badersten supervisor Department of Political Science v1000693 department Ever since its conceptual birth, the questioning of consequences due to the implementation of ideas from the reformation doctrine, called New Public Management, has been a common occurance among those who have dedicated themselves to research in superior methods of Public Administration.

The goal of this thesis will be fulfilled through the creation of two ideal types of public administration that exist in opposition to each other. These two ideal types will show two different views on how decision-making and organisation will be managed in their respective sectors.

I identify responsibility, vulnerability, sensitivity and adaptation as important theoretical concepts which will guide me in my analysis.

The result of the study has shown that the articles do contain discursive discrimination and that the most common types of discriminations are associations. We mean that Landskrona Posten may have influenced the readers perception concerning their surroundings. This has been done by the discursive discrimination of focusing on ?immigrants? as a problem, and ethnicity and immigration as the sole explanation for criminal activities. http://lup.lub.lu.se/student-papers/record/1319689/file/1319690.PDF application/pdf 284913 no 2007 swe discursive discrimination discourse analysis exclusion news media Social sciences Samhällsvetenskaper Social Sciences 1319689 2008-01-08T00:00:00+01:00 2008-01-30T00:00:00+01:00 2007-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 19 info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.3xml studentPublicationsM2 Marlene Eggers author Emilia Gidlöf author Claes Levin supervisor School of Social Work v1000688 department The purpose of this study was to examine social workers apprehensions about institutional placement of youths and what determines when these proceedings are used. When research not always shows that institutional placements lead to positive changes for youngsters, we wondered how social workers act on their assessment to institutional placement. We wanted to find out if the social workers meet any dilemmas along the way. To find out about that we used qualitative interviews with ten social workers, who worked in social service and came from different places in the southern parts of Sweden. To analyze our material we used the theory of human service organization and street-level bureaucrats work situation. We did also use prior research about social workers and institutional care. The result of this study was that social workers wait as long as possible to place youths on institutions. We found out that the social workers assessment about institutional placement was guided by external reports and how destructive the behaviour of the young person was. It was also important which attitude to change the parents of the young person had. Altogether it led to a great number of emotions within the social workers, affecting judgement on institutional placement. http://lup.lub.lu.se/student-papers/record/1319694/file/1319695.pdf application/pdf 290326 no 2007 swe socialsekreterare institutionsplacering ungdomar människobehandlande organisationer gräsrotsbyråkrat Social changes, theory of social work Sociala förändringar, teorier om socialt arbete Social problems and welfare, national insurance Sociala problem, social välfärd, socialförsäkring Social Sciences Law and Political Science 1319694 2008-01-31T00:00:00+01:00 2008-01-31T00:00:00+01:00 2007-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 20 1.1dateCreated= "*-01 00*"dateCreated=*-01 00*
