The purpose of this study was to examine the incentives behind Sweden’s decision to engage in the Afghanistan conflict. The method used to fulfil the purpose of the study is content analysis. The material that has been used in the study is various books and articles concerning Sweden in Afghanistan, Swedish foreign policy and perspectives in political science. The study is multi-theoretical and thus the analysis explains the incentives from a liberal, a realist and a constructivist point of view. The conclusion of the study is that identity has a great part in explaining the incentives for Sweden to engage in Afghanistan, especially because of the transformation in strategy and foreign policy that has taken place since the end of the cold war. Other factors, such as peace building and national interests also are incentives supported by the material used in the study. Yet, perhaps they are first and foremost connected by the constructivist idea of identity.

Le Congo a signé bon nombre d'accords internationaux relatifs à la protection du droit à la santé. Cependant, en dépit de la signature et la ratification de ces accords, le droit à la santé n'est pas encore devenu un droit protégé stricto sensu et la population congolaise connait toujours de grands écueils dans l'accès aux soins. D'aucuns affirment que cette notion "d'accès aux soins" n'est qu'un slogan au Congo. Que la santé ne fait pas partie des priorités de politiques publiques et que le manque de volonté des autorités publiques comme en témoigne l'absence d'assurance maladie ne rendent pas possible le recours effectif aux soins. D'autres nuancent par contre ces affirmations et considèrent que même si,des difficultés existent dans l'accès aux soins au Congo, ces difficultés ne sont pas spécifiques à ce pays. Dans bon nombre de pays africains, voire occidentaux, des obstacles existent également dans l'accès aux soins. Par ailleurs, le Congo a essayé tout de même d'entreprendre des actions pour améliorer l'accès aux soins de sa population. Que ces actions menées ont été appuyées par le soutien des Organisations internationales comme l'OMS et aussi par des ONG. / Congo has signed a number of international agreements on the protection of the right to health. Despite the signing and ratification of these agreements, however, the right to health has not yet become a protected right stricto sensu, and the Congolese population still faces great pitfalls in access to care. Some say that this notion of "access to care" is only a slogan in the Congo. That health is not part of public policy priorities and that the lack of will of the public authorities as evidenced by the lack of health insurance do not make effective use of the care possible. Others, on the other hand, qualify these assertions and consider that even if difficulties exist in access to care in the Congo, these difficulties are not specific to this country. In many African and even western countries there are barriers to access to care. On the other hand, Congo has tried to take action to improve access to health care for its population. That these actions were supported by the support of International Organizations such as WHO and also by NGOs. Ac
