1. Israel, Russia and the US: A Strange Triangular Relationship : An analysis of an unexpected alliance and its rationality
Kandidat-uppsats, Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för samhällsstudier (SS)Sammanfattning : The relationship between Israel and the US, as well as Israel and Russia are well documented, as it serves as a key aspect within the struggle for power and influence within the Middle East. However much research has been made on the topic, few have analysed how the relationship between Israel and the two others have affected the three, creating what could only be viewed as a blindspot within scholarship on the topic, as the relationships did not start in, nor are maintained within a vacuum.

3. The Wealth of Moral Sentiments : En studie av Adam Smiths syn på lönearbete
Magister-uppsats, Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för lärande och samhälle (LS)Sammanfattning : My ambition in the midst of the myriad of conflicting views in Smith scholarship has been to examine Smith’s perspective on wage labour, as formulated in The Wealth of Nations, in light of previous research, the historical context, his moral psychology described in The Theory of Moral Sentiments, and his presentation of rights developed in Lectures on Jurisprudence. Therefore, the central question has been, “How did Adam Smith perceive wage labour?” Since The Wealth of Nations was formulated in a specific historical context - which has come to be known as the Scottish Enlightenment -, it is necessary to approach the text with an understanding of these historical conditions in order to grasp Smith's economic theory.
