The EEA and the case law of the CJEU: Incorporation without participation?

The authority of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) over the interpretation of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA) is a politically sensitive as well as a legally difficult matter. In this chapter, an attempt is made not only to present the origins and the inherent tensions of the complex judicial architecture of the European Economic Area (EEA), but also to reveal how it works in practice. As the analysis will show that the authority on the interpretation of the substantive rules of the European Economic Area de facto rests firmly with the CJEU, it is further discussed to what extent the participating member states of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) may influence the CJEU’s development of the law. Towards the end follow some brief thoughts on how the judicial architecture of the EEA Agreement would cope with a scenario where either Switzerland or the UK (or both) were to join in on the EFTA side of the EEA.acceptedVersio

Garden metaphysics: Myth and Ritual among the Awajun People of the Peruvian High Jungle

This master thesis explores the intricate ways in which the Awajun people of the Peruvian high jungle practice subsistence gardening. The Awajun garden comprises a dazzling display of flora heterogeneity, though the most important cultigen found in the garden is the sweet manioc, Awajun staple food.This root crop is surrounded by myths and rituals that give the garden a social character. Under special circumstances, notably during planting and harvesting, the manioc plants in the garden reveal their otherwise hidden human-like qualities. This potentializes communication between the Awajun horticulturalists and their plants. This relationship is realised by use of the transformative properties of different incarnations called anen. By use of these songs the Awajun gardener is able to, not only potentialize the non-evident humanity of her plant, but also to adopt the perspective of the mythical figure Nugkui, the master and mother of cultivated plants. By positioning herself in this way, the Awajun gardener nurtures her plants like a mother fosters her children through the dangers of the world. For the Awajun people, the garden is a realm in which the relations vowed between humans and plants make up a symbiotic circle based on co-dependency and nurture. Before reaching these focal points, the first part of this thesis will explore the general ecology of the Awajun garden, its sociality and historical change. Broader changesto their society will also be discussed.MasteroppgaveSANT350MASV-SAN

Spin dynamics in photon ionization processes in hydrogenic atoms

Spin effects in hydrogenic atoms to relativistic order 1/c^2 have been considered and modeled in three different gauges, two of which have been used extensively in the dipole approximation to calculate cross sections in photon ionization processes in the perturbative limit. It has been found that spin effects are small in the perturbative limit, though it has been discussed as to why this might not be the case in the non-perturbative limit. Further, a asymmetry in spin terms between the velocity gauge and the length gauge has been found.Masteroppgave i fysikkPHYS399MAMN-PHY

Is E-justice Reform of Norwegian Civil Procedure Finally Happening?

Fifteen years ago, the digitalisation of civil procedure was put on the agenda in Norway by the new Dispute Act. Only now, though, does e-justice appear to be gaining ground. The article sketches out the existing e-justice elements in the Dispute Act and outlines the new test schemes for electronic communication and paperless court hearings. It then tries to explain why so little has happened over the last 15 years. Against this background, the potential of e-justice reform of Norwegian civil procedure is discussed, along with the challenges it faces.publishedVersio
