16. Salvaging Death Worlds : Drivers and Barriers to the Adoption of Biogas and Biofertilizer Production Systems on Gotland
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och industriell teknikSammanfattning : Utilizing an interdisciplinary, multi-level perspective analysis this thesis reviews niche- regime-landscape interactions (analogous to the clusters of actors working at the local level of Gotland representing niche; the regime being national governance goals; and the landscape incorporating global level affairs and institutions such as the European Union (EU)) and their (mis)alignments within the biogas/biofertilizer production system of Gotland, Sweden, a small-island case study for energy-food-transportation transition and sustainable destination development. The study analyzes the heterarchical and polycentric development of biogas on Gotland—a socio-technical niche, nested within a larger energy regime and global landscape for transition—developing an understanding of (mis)alignments of pressures interacting on, at, and between the niche-regime- landscape as they combine with the peculiar competencies, as Loorbach describes, “creative minds, strategists, and visionaries” of a cluster of actors working in the food- energy-transport nexus on the island (2010, p.

20. When Words Become Weapons : Embarking on the soft/hard power debate with the case of the ROK-Japanese territorial dispute over the Dokdo/Takeshima Islands
Master-uppsats, FörsvarshögskolanSammanfattning : With the aim to embark on the theoretical debate on soft and hard power, this study uses the territorial dispute between the ROK and Japan over the Dokdo/Takeshima Islands to illustrate how the common scholarly understanding of the two power concepts are incorrect and misleading.
