The aim of this paper is to examine how the Swedish implementation of the new trafficking laws may differ from the original intention from the UN and EU and if they are substandard due to poorly conducted law implementation. Or if it might be a victim of political symbolism, to win support and votes for the politicians in power from the people, a ”hollow showpiece” only meant to be shown off.   Trafficking is a relatively new phenomena and problem to be researched and discussed. This paper investigates the impact of the Palermo protocols international definition of the problem, the convention against organized crime presented by the European Union on the Swedish legal system and its action plan. A qualitative text analysis focusing on the discourse of the intentions behind the internationally presented legal documents and compared against the carrying out of said national objectives. In the end this is all contrasted against studies of law implementation and political symbolism.     The result shows that dispite the fact that a strong ”hands-on” action-plan implemented by the Swedish government was carried out at an early stage there has been no further action to follow up on the degree of education and spreading of information amongst the authorities meeting the people affected by this problem.

On September 23, 2021, Prime Minister Stefan Löfven together with Minister of Justice Morgan Johansson submitted a bill called "Abolished penalty discount for young adults in serious crime". The proposal was voted through despite the referral bodies opposing the proposal. The main contradictions concerned the undercalculated budget, the opposition to research and the so-called threshold effect. To understand why the proposal is voted through, despite objections, Kingdon’s multiple stream approach is used. Kingdon’s multiple stream approach shows the various components to give a proposal impetus to be lifted and voted through. The result shows that two out of three important components indicate that the proposal should be voted through, while one component opposes it. This component is based on research and opportunities for implementation. The fact that this component opposes the proposal results in the implementation of the proposal being difficult, almost impossible.

Titel: Styrelsers syn på implementering av lagar i bolagsstyrningen Kurs: Management and Control Författare: Veronica Gisle och Asha Khan Handledare: Josef Pallas Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka vilka styrinstrument som styrelser använder vid implementeringen av lagdirektiv i bolagsstyrningen. Metod: Uppsatsens metod är uppbyggd på ett abduktivt tillvägagångssätt. Teori: Den teoretiska referensramen består av teorier som grundar sig i vetenskaplig forskning om styrelsens huvudsakliga uppgifter, contingency teori, granskare samt ett flertal styrinstrument. Empiri: Materialet är insamlat under åtta djupintervjuer med styrelseledamöter. Slutsats: De tre huvudsakliga styrinstrument som styrelsen använder sig av är relationen till VD:n, åtgärdsplaner och styrelseutskott. De styrinstrument som är mest effektiva beror på lagens innebörd och bolagets verksamhet.
