Sverigedemokraternas första mandatperiod : Hur har partiets idéer kring invandring samt brott och straff förändrats?

Borg Wall, Arvid January 2015 (has links)
This thesis explores the ideational change of the Sweden democrats (SD) during its first mandate in the Swedish parliament and focuses on the issues of immigration as well as crime and punishment which are theoretically relevant in regard of populist radical right parties (PRR). This inquiry is motivated in relation to the suggested significans of PRR-parties moderation of extreme ideas in order to reach representation and thereof obtain ability to influence policy. The thesis focuses on the potential change of the ideas of SD on two issues by analysing those ideas at the party´s early stage in the parliament in 2010 as well as in the end of this first mandate in 2014. The second aim of the thesis is to explain why SD display a radicalization, stabilization or moderation in those ideas. In order to describe the change in ideas an idea analysis with constructed ideal types is used as method and tool of analysis. For the explaination a theoretical framework on PRR-parties, inspired by Cas Mudde, is used with emphasis on the demand-side as well as the external supply-side. The results show stabile ideas regarding crime and punishment but a marginal ideational moderation on the issue of immigration between 2010 and 2014. According to the author, the relatively high propotion of voters contending to tougher punishment as well as the low salience of the issue could explain why the ideas on crime and punishment remain stabile. The marginal moderation of ideas on immigration is on the other hand understood with reference to the external supply-side, foremost as a necessity in order to approach the mainstream parties and gain coalition potential in its main issue.

Revisorns oberoende : Problematiken kring revisorns personliga engagemang / Auditor independence : The problem of the auditor´s personal commitment

Särndahl, Anna, Lundqvist, Ida January 2015 (has links)
Denna uppsats undersöker problematiken kring revisorernas personliga engagemang och mänskliga beteenden. Revisorer och klienter har båda incitament vilka används för att nå en viss önskad situation. Oavsett vad incitamenten används för är syftet att subjektivt tillfredsställa ett visst intresse. Uppsatsen är baserad på tidigare publicerade vetenskapliga artiklar och är en vidare forskning baserad på Tepalagul och Lins studie från år 2015, vilken innefattar en undersökning av fyra hot. Denna studie kommer medföra en fördjupad undersökning kring dessa fyra oberoendehot som anses kan komma att påverka revisorns oberoende ställning. Hoten är: klientens betydelse, erbjudandet av andra tjänster utöver revisionstjänster, mandatperioden och anknytning mellan revisor och klient. Syftet med uppsatsen är att finna klarhet i om dessa hot i praktiken faktiskt kan hota revisorernas oberoende gentemot klienten, samt om dessa hot kan motverkas och i så fall på vilket sätt åtgärder kan framstå. I studien kommer en koppling göras till psykologiska påverkningar av mänskliga beteenden. Här lyfts kognitiv dissonans fram för att förklara etiska dilemman som revisorn ställs inför i sitt yrke. Studiens syfte är även att finna en klarhet i hur kognitiv dissonans kan ge en utökad förklaring kring problematiken angående revisorernas oberoende. Beroende på hur revisorn ställer sig i situationer av olika oberoendehot med medföljande påtryckningar från klienter och omgivning kan revisionskvalitén skifta. Uppsatsen kommer att genomföras utefter den hermeneutiska traditionen och i form av en kvalitativ ansats med besöksintervjuer som datainsamlingsmetod. Utifrån respondenternas åsikter kan vi dra slutsatsen att dessa hot existerar inom revisionsyrket, men att mycket beror på revisorn som person och dennes integritet och motståndskraft. Resultaten bekräftar även att människor normalt sett vet att deras bedömningar bör vara objektiva, men att de omedvetet kan göra felaktiga bedömningar då de blandar ihop vad som är personligt fördelaktig med vad som är rättvist eller moraliskt. För var och ett av dessa hot diskuterar vi erhållna resultat från empirin och tidigare forskning. Detta med avseende på klientens och revisors olika incitament, hot, kognitiva processer, samt revisionskvalité. Studien mynnar ut i idéer kring fortsatt forskning. Vi lyfter här fram vikten av att bland annat utföra en liknande forskning med kvinnliga auktoriserade revisorer som respondenter. / This essay examines the problems concerning auditors personal engagement and human be- haviours. Auditors and clients have different incentives, which are used to reach a certain preferred situation. Regardless of what the incentives are used for, the aim is to subjectively satisfy a certain interest. The essay is based on previously published scientific articles and is a further research based on Tepalagul and Lins study from year 2015. This essay includes a survey of four threats concerning auditor’s independence. The study will present a detailed investigation of these four threats that may have an affect on the auditor's independence. The threats are: the clients importance, the offering of non-audit services, auditor tenure and the client affiliation. The purpose of this essay is to find clarity if whether or not these threats in practice may actually threaten the auditor's independence towards the client, and if these threats can be prevented and if so, in what way measures may appear. The study will be making associations to psychological factors influencing human behaviours. The concept cognitive dissonance is used in this study to explain the ethical dilemmas that auditors face in their profession. The study's purpose is also to find a clarity of how cognitive dissonance can give an extended explanation about the problems concerning auditor’s independence. Depending on how the auditor stands in situations of various threats to the independence with accompanying pressures from their clients and the environment, the audit quality may shift. The essay will be performed in line with the hermeneuthic tradition in the form of a qualitative approach with interviews as data collection methods. Based on respondents’ opinions, we can conclude that these threats exist within the audit profession, but much depends on the auditor as a person and his or her integrity and resilience. The results also confirm that humans usually know that their assessments should be objective, but they unknowingly make incorrect judgments when they mix up what is personally beneficial with what is fair or moral. For each and everyone of these threats we discuss the empirically given results and previous research. This with regard to the clients and the auditors different incentives, threats, cognitive processes, and audit quality. The study empties into the ideas about further research. We emphasize the importance of among other things carrying out a similar research with female certified auditors as respondents.
