Utländska investerare har varit aktiva på fastighetsinvesteringsmarknaden i Stockholm sedan slutet på 1990-talet. Perioden 2010–2020 utmärks av att utländska aktörer inledningsvis bemötte efterdyningarna av finanskrisen, följt av en period av högkonjunktur och slutligen en instabil ekonomisk tid till följd av covid-19-pandemin. Denna studie har analyserat den påverkan som utländska investerare har haft på fastighetsinvesteringsmarknaden i Stockholm under 2010–2020. Syftet var att klargöra om de utländska investerarna hade något inflytande på själva marknaden genom sin närvaro och att kartlägga eventuell påverkan, vilket är information som kan vara användbar för bland annat analytiker. Studien baserades på en kvalitativ metod där sex intervjuer genomfördes med professionella yrkesutövare med en bakgrund inom transaktionsrådgivning, värdering och fastighetsförvaltning. En viktig slutsats från avhandlingen är att närvaron av utländska investerare har bidragit till en mer professionell transaktionsprocess, inklusive mer noggranna due diligence-processer. Ett annat fynd är att priserna på fastigheter har stigit under decenniet som en konsekvens av ökad efterfrågan, vilket delvis beror på en växande närvaro från utländska investerare. Studien visar också att utländska investerare uppvisar en flexibilitet när det gäller vilken typ av fastighet de investerar i, då de investerar i alla tillgängliga typer av fastigheter, med avkastning som enda fokus. En av de mer uppenbara trenderna som illustreras i denna studie är att utländska fastighetsinvesterare i Stockholm kommer att försöka investera i högkvalitativa fastigheter, med lägre risk, vilket genererar en stadig inkomstkälla. / Foreign investors have been actively engaged in the real estate market in Stockholm since the late 1990’s. The period 2010–2020 is distinguished by foreign investments initially navigating through the aftermaths of the financial crisis of 2008, followed by a period of economic boom and then eventually confronting the difficult economic state caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This study has analyzed the impact that foreign investors have had on the real estate investment market in Stockholm during 2010–2020. The aim was to clarify whether the foreign investors had any influence on the market itself through their presence and to chart any possible impact, which is information that can be useful for analysts, among others. The study was based on a qualitative method where six interviews were held with professionals with a background in transaction advisory, valuation and property management. An important conclusion from the thesis is that the presence of foreign investors has contributed to a more professional transaction process, including more thorough due diligence processes. Another finding is that prices on real estate have risen during the decade as a consequence of higher demand, which originates in part from a growing presence from foreign investors. The study also shows that foreign investors exhibit a flexibility regarding the type of real estate they invest in, as they invest in all available types of properties, with return being the only focus. One of the more evident trends illustrated in this study is that foreign real estate investors in Stockholm will seek to invest in high quality real estate, with lower risk, generating a steady source of income.

Transitional Justice emerged as an exciting field three decades ago after the Nuremberg trials. Attempts to seek justice have been prolific and diverse in many countries including Syria. This research aims at revealing the factors that impact the transitional justice process in Syria by analyzing the first attempts at transitional justice in Syria. Therefore, this paper uses a case comparison of the first attempts at transitional justice in Syria and Rwanda and uses critical discourse analysis to do so. This paper recognizes four factors that made transitional justice successful in Rwanda when compared to Syria, namely: the absence of foreign powers, a decisive victory, the decentralization of justice, and the level of community involvement. This paper contributes to reducing the literature gap on transitional justice in Syria by proposing an analysis of the first signs of transitional justice.
