This study has analysed Sweden's security policy strategy and decision to send military supportto Ukraine in light of the Russian invasion of 2022. By applying a combination of discourseanalysis (WPR) and neorealism, the study has explored the political motivations behind thesedecisions, under both the Andersson and Kristersson administrations. The results show aconsistent line in Sweden's security policy since 2014, where support for Ukraine is seen as animportant contribution to maintaining international law and supporting democracy. The studycritically examines the balance between moral obligations and strategic interests that guideSweden's support for Ukraine, and discusses the implications of this support for Sweden'snational defence capability and long-term financial sustainability. Furthermore, it assesses thebroader impacts of these decisions on the rule-based international order and Sweden's positionwithin it. The findings suggest that Sweden's actions represent a significant reorientation in itssecurity policy, aiming to strengthen both national and European security through solidarityand international cooperation. This reflects a pragmatic approach to the anarchic internationalsystem, where supporting Ukraine not only aligns with Sweden's moral values but also servesstrategic security interests.

Denna uppsats ämnade att undersöka tre branschers reaktioner på de ekonomiska effekterna av corona-pandemin: restaurang-& hotellbranschen, detaljhandelsbranschen och transportbranschen genom att undersöka tre perioder: före, under och efter pandemin. Resultatet visade att antalet konkurser minskade under pandemin där det förväntades öka, och efter pandemin ökade det i stället.  Fokus ligger även på en alternativ förklaringsvariabel: stödpaket, som infördes för att mildra de ekonomiska effekterna av pandemin, vilket ansågs ha påverkat resultatet från dataanalysen.

The results showed that the number of bankruptcies decreased during the pandemic where it was expected to increase, and after the pandemic it increased instead.  The focus is also on an alternative explanatory variable: support packages, which were introduced to mitigate the economic impact of the pandemic, which was considered to have influenced the results of the data analysis. The focus was on an alternative explanatory variable: support packages, which were introduced during the pandemic to mitigate the economic impact, which was considered to have influenced the results from the analysis presented.
