1	Vem ska Sverige hjälpa : En kvalitativ uppsats angående hur globaliseringen har påverkat prioriteten hos Sidas biståndspolitik Palmquist, Måns January 2021 (has links) I den moderna tid vi lever i nu är globaliseringsprocessen är essentiell del av ett samhälles utveckling. Det västerländska samhället har genomgått en modernisering vilket har förändrat många positioner både på den nationella och internationella arenan. Men biståndspolitikens främsta uppdrag har förblivit det samma, att hjälpa människor i nöd. Syftet med denna uppsats är att analysera hur globaliseringen har påverkat den svenska biståndsinstitutionen Sidas prioritering rörande biståndsinsatser. En relevant frågeställning är då har globaliseringen påverkat Sidas prioritering inom bilateralt bistånd. För att kunna besvara denna frågeställning så använder uppsatsen Sidas årsredovisningar för åren 2001, 2011 och 2019 som datamaterial. Anthony Giddens teori om senmodernitet och Immanuel Wallersteins världssystemsteori används för att definiera begreppet globalisering och dess innebörd. Uppsatsen applicerar analysmetoden kvalitativ innehållsanalys som belyser ett genomgående ämne i uppsatsens datamaterial. Detta utmärkande tema i datamaterialet är utvecklingen av Sidas prioritering inom ekonomiska mål. Uppsatsens resultat redogör att globaliseringen har medfört en förändring hos Sida där inkluderandet av privata aktörer har blivit en standard process. Globaliseringen har även medfört en effektivisering hos Sida både som organisation, samt dess insatser då man har minskat antalet internationella biståndsinsatser som är aktiva.

2	Gloarchy : Polyarchy in the Age of Globalization Öjehag Pettersson, Andreas January 2008 (has links) <p>This thesis tries to evaluate the very large question of how globalization can be said to have an effect on democracy by reducing both concepts to a more usable format. In doing so it tries to evaluate how a special theory of democracy put forward by Robert Dahl in 1971 – polyarchy – could be said to be affected by the workings of contemporary globalization. When assessing the variables of the investigation, globalization is being represented by two constructed ideal images that are later measured against a set of seven variables extracted from Dahl’s theory.</p><p>By the use of qualitative text analysis the constructed ideal types help provide a framework for how one can measure the effects of globalization on polyarchy. The analysis ends in a result where it is clear that if globalization is understood as a neo-liberal ideal image it is making the circumstances for the creation of polyarchies in the future more favorable. However, if globalization is understood as an ideal image of world-system theory explanations then the circumstances for future polyarchies are less favorable. In a concluding discussion important implications of the results are highlighted when the thesis concludes that regardless of ideological starting point globalization can be said to affect the theory of polyarchy in such a way that it is in dire need of reevaluation. At the same time the essay concludes that whenever the concept of globalization is being used with scientific ambitions by politicians, they need to be aware of, and reflect, the different results that it brings depending on how it is explained.</p> Democracy Globalization Polyarchy World-System Theory Neo-liberalism and Political Philosophy Demokrati Globalisering Polyarki Världssystem Teori Nyliberalism och Politisk Filosofi Political science Statsvetenskap

4	Från ”tyst vår” till ”hållbar utveckling” : En kritisk diskursanalys av miljöfrågans utveckling 1962–1987 / From ‘Silent Spring’ to ‘Sustainable Development’ : A Critical Discourse Analysis of the Development of the Environmental Issue 1962–1987 Medina, Eduardo January 2013 (has links) This dissertation studies the development of the environmental issue from a discursive perspective. Through an analysis of views on nature and the environment in several NGOs and main political organs, the dissertation tries to explain how a certain view became hegemonic. The analysis pertains to the period between the publication of Silent Spring in 1962 and the introduction of the concept sustainable development by the UN in 1987. From a realistic starting point and with critical discourse analysis (CDA) as its method, the dissertation aims to identify causal powers and mechanisms that have generated and institutionalized the environmental discourse. An analytical model is developed and applied on three levels; a sociolinguistic, institutional, and macrosocial level; which also reflect the methodological progression of the study from description to explanation. The result shows that the discursive practice was hegemonized by a Western view promoting economic growth. This discourse gradually gained ground at the expense of an anti-systemic discourse which posited structural societal changes as the answer to environmental problems. Mechanisms such as the exclusion of some views and actors from common discursive practices were crucial for the process of homogenizing the discourse and developing consensus. Through incorporating that part of the environmental movement which did not fight the dominant economic and political system, the UN turned it into support for its own project, which is part of the process of hegemony. At the same time the environmental objectives of the hegemonic discourse were established in the institutional spheres. The institutionalization of the environmental issue changed the focus from social critique to a question of development and technology, something which helped displace the original critical and partially anti-systemic character of environmental discourse. Through turning the critical and negative account of the situation into a more harmonious and hopeful vision, for instance in terms of sustainable development, a foundation was laid for the later development of ecological modernization. When the hegemonic discourse invested the concept of sustainable development with emphases on progress and economic growth, it encapsulated the environmental issue within the framework of the prevailing social system. / <p>With summary in English and Spanish/Con resumen en inglés y en español</p> Environment discourse environmental discourse critical discourse analysis ideology hegemony institutionalization sustainable development ecological modernization critical realism world-system Miljö diskurs miljödiskurs kritisk diskursanalys ideologi hegemoni institutionalisering hållbar utveckling ekologisk modernisering kritisk realism världssystem Medio ambiente discurso discurso medioambiental análisis crítico del discurso ideología hegemonía institucionalización desarrollo sostenible modernización ecológica realismo crítico sistema-mundo
