Handlingsplanen för Agenda 2030 är ett viktigt dokument eftersom det lägger fram visionen för Sveriges framtida arbete med hållbar utveckling. Sverige vill visa omvärlden att tillväxt och välfärd är fullt möjliga samtidigt som vi värnar om miljön. Som Regeringskansliet (2018) betonar flera gånger så är det viktigt att balans råder mellan de olika aspekterna för hållbarhet (Regeringskansliet, 2018). Den här insikten återspeglar sig tydligt i handlingsplanens text. Däremot finns det samtidigt mycket som pekar på att den ekonomiska aspekten av hållbarhet prioriteras framför ekologiska och sociala aspekter.  Syftet bakom uppsatsen var att undersöka hur tillväxt värderas i förhållande till de andra aspekterna av hållbar utveckling. Samtidigt vill undersökningen belysa hur Sverige ser på sin roll i implementeringen av Agenda 2030 globalt, samt hur den svenska modellen för hållbarhet värderas. För att svara på de frågor som ställts har handlingsplanen för Agenda 2030 analyserats med hjälp av metoden tematisk analys. Resultatet från analysen har sedan granskats genom det teoretiska ramverket baserat på politisk ekologi och ekologisk modernisering. I studien framkom det att de tre aspekterna av hållbarhet ofta förekommer tillsammans, men att det maskerar en obalans i värderingarna. Studien visade också att Sverige har ambitionen att bli ett världsledande land när det kommer till hållbarhet och på vis ska föregå med gott exempel. / The policy for Agenda 2030 is an important document because it sets the course for Sweden's work with sustainable development. Sweden is clear with their intention of showing the world that it is possible to achieve economic growth, prosperity and care for the environment simultaneously. According to Regeringskansliet (2018) it is important to recognize that there is balance between the different aspects of sustainability. However, there are a lot of signs that point towards the economic aspect being prioritized rather than the social and ecological aspects.  The main purpose behind this essay is to examine how economic growth is valued in comparison to the other aspects of sustainable development. It is also important to examine how Sweden views itself when it comes to implementing Agenda 2030 globally, and how the Swedish model for sustainable development is valued. In order to answer the questions set forth in this essay the policy document for Agenda 2030 was analyzed with the help of a method called thematic analysis. The results then came under further analysis with the help of a theoretical framework based upon political ecology and ecological modernization. The results indicated that the three main aspects of sustainable development were often mentioned together, however this tended to cover up an imbalance in how the aspects were valued. The study also showed that Sweden has the ambition to become one of the world's leading countries when it comes to sustainable development. This in turn should inspire other countries to follow in Sweden’s footsteps.

This is a master thesis centering around democratization in Taiwan and South Korea. The aim has been to reach a greater understanding of how Taiwan and South Korea could democratize and their respective democratization process. Related to the research gap, two theories were applied in the analysis. The theories are also reflected in the two research questions. The theories are modernization theory and Dahl’s democracy theory concerning the concept of polyarchy.  The thesis is comparative in its nature, and it is a two-case study. For the treatment of material, qualitative content analysis has been used. Following the literature review, a concise historical background to the two countries was written to provide context for the readers and as a background to the analysis which covered the period after World War Two.  In the analysis, the two theories were applied to Taiwan and South Korea. First, the four variables of economic growth from modernization theory and then the seven institutions of polyarchy from Dahl’s democracy theory. The analysis showed steady progress in both countries during the application of modernization theory. The seven institutions of polyarchy have been reached in both states, and the time for that is spelled out in the analysis. The conclusion found that modernization theory is facilitating understanding of the democratization in the countries and that Dahl’s democracy theory provided a framework for the timeline of democratization. It also showed that other perspectives such as culture, external influence, strategic culture, geopolitics, and in the Taiwanese case, ethnicity, are providing a greater knowledge of this subject.

Motivated by recent claims from youth that older generations are jeopardizing their future, the purpose of this thesis is to study potential explanations for the variation of intergenerational blame attribution among Swedish youth. Ordinary least squares regression analysis is conducted on survey data, especially focused on young participants, to test several hypotheses about how perceived economic threats and one’s value orientation can impact young people’s motivation to blame elderly generations for economic difficulties. The thesis does not find statistical support that one’s birth cohort - used as a proxy for childhood socialization during different economic conditions - moderates the effect of perceived threat on intergenerational blame attribution. However, when a person’s value orientation is explicitly measured in a regression model, the findings indicate that characteristics acquired earlier in life can alter a person’s reaction to presently perceived threats. The result shows that authoritarians are more prone to attribute blame towards older generations as a matter of habit, but also that libertarians are susceptible to changing their attitudes to liken authoritarians given a tangible threat. Furthermore, the study provides empirical evidence suggesting that libertarians and authoritarians react to perceived economic threats differently. These findings are evaluated in relation to measuring perceived threat in a survey context and the linear interaction effect assumption in multiplicative linear models.

This study, grounded in qualitative research methods, aims to provide a deeper insight into Sweden's religious landscape by examining the varied responses of different religious groups to the ongoing process of secularization and how these communities work to preserve their faith in a secular society. The study applies Weber's and Casanova's conceptualization of modernization, emphasizing the transformation of established systems through new ideologies, offering an analysis of how religious groups respond to secularization. Grounded in secularization theory, which focuses on the diminishing impact of religion in modernized societies, the study explores the consequences of secularization for religious groups, considering factors such as community-building efforts, engagement of religious adherents, social status, and individual religiosity. Initiating with a literature review, the study identifies key issues and develops a profound understanding of the subject. Additionally, representatives and leaders from various religious communities in Sweden, including Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, are interviewed. The research findings shed light on a comprehensive understanding of the intricate terrain illustrating the repercussions of secularization on Swedish society. The results suggest that various congregations are influenced by trends in secularization, modernization, and individualism. Different religious communities exhibit distinct responses and implement various strategies to preserve religion, identity, and a sense of community within their respective congregations. This insight is crucial for both religious communities and individuals navigating the evolving religious environment, striving to comprehend its consequences for religion, community, and society.
