Does more Feminism mean less Nationalism?

This research explores the extent of feminism and nationalism in peacetime Serbia and also the correlation between. Theories suggest these two systems of thought to be incompatible with each other, even exclusive. If someone is in fact a supporter of nationalist ideas, it is unlikely for this person to also have feminist sympathies. Insights obtained by reviewing and analyzing existing national data on how much support the Serbian people have for nationalist and feminist ideas gives an understanding of to what point the ideologies are widespread across the country. A field study in Belgrade, composed by surveys and interviews, has also been conducted to examine the validity of the alleged negative correlation between the two systems of thought. The research ultimately reveals, on the national level, higher percentage of respondents being against both feminist and nationalist ideas than in favor of them. On the local Belgrade level, the study highlights the reoccurring incident of participants shown indecisive of their opinions towards either system of thought. Simultaneously, aforementioned theories were proven likely valid since results from the local surveys in Belgrade yet showed an incompatibility of participants being both feminist and nationalist at the same time

Är gröna partier alltid vänsterorienterade?

Denna uppsats granskar gröna partiers position på den traditionella höger-vänsterskala med utgångspunkt från värden som databasen Manifestoproject har räknat ut. Vi har studerat elva länders gröna partier som finns representerade i parlamenten och analyserat deras ideologiska position i förhållande till övriga partier. Med stöd av Noël & Thériens teori om att relativiteten är det viktigaste vid studier av placeringar på höger-vänsterskalan, har vi sedan beräknat ländernas olika mittvärden för att på så sätt skapa en nyanserad bild av vad mitten på skalan kan vara. En analys kring Miljöpartiet har också gjorts där dess ideologiska positionering har granskats över tid. Den centrala slutsats vi har kunnat dra är att gröna partier långt ifrån alltid är vänsterorienterade på skalan

Crisis Communication in the Time of Corona: A comparative analysis of Danish and Swedish public news narratives

When the coronavirus disease COVID-19 spread through the world’s countries in early 2020 and dominated the news media, a contrast between how Sweden was combatting the virus compared to other countries who used stricter restrictions quickly became apparent and frequently discussed in media. Through a comparative content analysis, this study aims to investigate how narratives concerning the coronavirus have been presented in Swedish public news medium SVT compared to its Danish equivalent, DR. Any differences in such news reporting could indicate the possibility of media influence behind why one country implemented and adhered to stricter restrictions than the other did.Utilizing a quantitative as well as a quantitative approach, 245 articles from Danish and Swedish sources were coded and analysed through theory grounded in situational crisis communication (SCCT). The findings however revealed similar results, identifying the same four key SCCT-narratives in both countries: anxiety, blame, flattery and care. The theoretical contribution of this study is centred on the reflection of how these similar results may relate to one another on a societal and sensemaking level. The study ultimately also emphasises the flexibility of SCCT strategies as useful narrative tools for further research
