  1. 1. EKONOMISKT PARTNERSKAPSAVTAL & REGIONAL INTEGRATION

    Kandidat-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Författare :Amanda Rossling; [2023-02-07]
    Nyckelord :Europeiska unionen EU ; södra Afrikas utvecklingsgemenskap SADC ; Afrikanska unionen AU ; ekonomiskt partnerskapsavtal EPA ; regionalism; integration; neokolonialism; regional integration; handel; utvecklingspolitik;

    Sammanfattning : The Economic Partnership Agreement between the European Union (EU) and Southern African Development Community (SADC) is a reciprocal asymmetric trade agreement in which contributes to encouraging more trade between African partners and Europe, by ensuring consistency with regional development policies and integration programmes. Previous research in this field has focused on explaining the establishment of EU’s political and economic relations with Africa or expressing EU’s views on less developed ACP-regions. LÄS MER

  2. 2. Sustainability benefits of industrial symbiosis: Building value from stakeholders

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Författare :Laura Elizabeth Redmond; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Industrial symbiosis; stakeholder engagement; sustainable business models; circularity; sustainability benefits; Social Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : The circular economy (CE) brings a shift in business operations that could increase societal well-being and reduce environmental costs, making regionalization and circular supply chains crucial to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Industrial Symbiosis (IS) is a strategy to enhance the circularity of industry by exchanging resources and knowledge sharing between different actors in an industrial system. LÄS MER

  3. 3. Sustainable Best Practices in Electronic Sector : Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Industry

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Författare :Michelle Julius; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Printed Circuit Board industry; Circular Economy; Sustainability; Implementation; Sweden;

    Sammanfattning : Environmental issues related to the Electronic and Electrical Equipment industry lead companies to consider a new sustainability model to decouple economic growth from resource consumption and waste generation. A significant body of literature focuses on materials and process innovation in the field of Printed Circuit Board (PCB), simultaneously limited attention has been given to industry practices and circular economy strategies.

  4. 4. Innovation in Industrial Building Sustainability : Exploring timber frames as a viable alternative to steel frames in industrial buildings A case study of Sweco AB

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och industriell teknik

    Författare :Kiavosh Saidi Mosanen; Ibrahim Mohamed Fathi Taha; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Sustainability; Industrial buildings; Construction; Material selection; Timer; Steel; Innovation; Sustainability; Hållbarhet; Industribyggnader; Konstruktion; Materialval; Timer; Stål; Innovation; Hållbarhet;

    Sammanfattning : Lund University (2020) describes that the material chosen for the construction of constructions significantly affects the environment. Due to the impact of the choice of construction materials on the environment, we have carried out an in-depth study where we examine the complex decision-making process when choosing frame materials concerning both external and internal factors where external influences become regulatory requirements related to global sustainability goals with the aim that the industrial construction industry can find sustainable solutions such as hybrid solutions in the choice of frame materials, while internal factors involve financial considerations linked to the protection of materials against environmental conditions and challenges that industrial buildings can face.

  5. 5. Regional Power Asymmetries and their Effects on Regional Integration: The Case of ECOWAS

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Författare :Axel Fégeant; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Trade integration; Africa; ECOWAS; Hegemon; Nigeria; Social Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : African regional trade integration remains an understudied field as most of the theories and concepts applied to the phenomenon have been largely drawn in the background of the European context. This study aims to study the Economic Community of West African States by applying a new theoretical approach that posits that there are two logics for developing countries to integrate regionally, an extra-regional and intraregional.
