In my paper I have examined the United Nations role in the democratization of Kosovo. In order to complete this purpose I have asked two questions • How has the UN contributed to the democratization of Kosovo that has taken place so far? • What advantages and/or disadvantages has the UN presence in Kosovo had from a democratic perspective? The method I have used in my paper is a qualitative one, and more specified a qualitative text analysis. This means that I have examined a rather small number of sources, but in return I have analyzed these sources very carefully. In addition to the choice of a qualitative method I have used Robert A. Dahl’s theory about polyarcy as a definition of democracy. The results from my analysis are that the UN has done some work in favour of the democratization of Kosovo, but the UN has also acted in a way which restrains democratization of Kosovo in many ways. The main reason why the UN hinders the democratization of Kosovo is it’s unwillingness to let go of its power over the region to the local officials.

Denna uppsats skrevs med syftet att undersöka hur ungdomspartier förmedlar den egna rollen som har sitt syfte att bidra till demokratin i Sverige. Detta gjordes genom att använda Robert. A Dahls teori kring den demokratiska processen som analysverktyg. Analysen gjordes utifrån ungdomspartiernas hemsidor, sociala medier och stadgar samt andra tillgängliga dokument. Arbetet avgränsade sig till tre olika ungdomspartier vilka var Ung vänster, Liberala ungdomsförbundet och Ungsvenskarna. Resultatet blev att alla dessa kommunicerar tre helt olika roller. Ung vänster förmedlar en roll som kopplades till ”kontroll över agendan” vilket innebär att de primärt fokuserar på sakfrågor och att föra fram sina åsikter. Liberala ungdomsförbundet har istället valt att fokusera på att sprida kunskapen kring sin ideologiska grund som kopplas till kriteriet ”upplyst förståelse”. Ungsvenskarna förmedlar en roll som bidrar till ”effektivt deltagande”, vilket betyder att de rekryterar och utbildar framtida politiker till sitt moderparti. Alla tre har dock fler funktioner och kan kopplas till flera kriterier men detta var vilka deras primära fokus riktade på. / This paper was written with the purpose of examine which role youth parties communicate to have for their contribution to the swedish democracy. This was accomplished by using the theory of the democratic process created by Robert. A Dahl. The youth parties webpages, social media and accessible documents was used in the analysis, the sampled parties was “Ung vänster” (the young left wing), “Liberala ungdomsförbundet” (the young liberals) and “Ungsvenskarna” (The swedish youths). The result being that all three are contributing to the democracy by showing different primary roles yet still being able to fill some of the other criteria as well, however to a lesser extent. “Ung vänster” communicates a role which connects to the criteria of “control of the agenda” which means they have taken on the function of influencing the decision makers of society. “Liberala ungdomsförbundet” has instead chosen to put their focus in spreading information about the main thoughts of the liberal ideology, this role connects to the criteria of “enlightened understanding”. “Ungsvenskarna” is primarily focusing on communicating a function of recruiting and educating new party members with the goal to create future politicians for the main party, this role connects to the criteria of “effective participation”.
