1. A secure or sustainable world? : How Sweden’s policies on nuclear proliferation affect the Sustainable Development Goals
Kandidat-uppsats, Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för samhällsstudier (SS)Sammanfattning : This thesis aims to evaluate Sweden’s policies on nuclear proliferation and create a better understanding of how these policies affect Sweden’s work towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Amid global concerns about nuclear weapons and their impact on peace, security and sustainable development, Sweden stands as a global leader both regarding disarmament and non-proliferation and sustainable development.

2. Terminating Apartheid's Atomic Bomb
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionenSammanfattning : South Africa secretly produced six and a half nuclear weapons from 1978-1989 before undertaking a complete nuclear disarmament between 1989-1991; it is the only instance in history of when a state has discarded an indigenously developed nuclear arsenal and presents a unique case for studying the nuclear decision-making of states. This thesis is a theory-testing case study where I, by conducting a qualitative content analysis of previous research on South Africa’s nuclear rollback, examine how well Scott D Sagan’s nuclear policy model can explain the nuclear disarmament of South Africa.

3. Same same, but different : Två svenska fredsrörelsers användande av historiebruk mot kapprustning mellan åren 1978-1986
Kandidat-uppsats, Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för humaniora och samhällsvetenskap (from 2013)Sammanfattning : The purpose of this study has been to examine, from the historical perspective, how the member magazine of two peace movements describes the threat of nuclear weapons and the issue of disarmament, as well as who is responsible for the threat. Based on the historians Karlsson and Zanders's division into the seven categories of the use of history, I've analyzed the peace movements' description of the threat and what narrative is conveyed in the editorial pages.
