1. The quest of a defeated Self - understanding identity management in post-Soviet Russia
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionenSammanfattning : A certain volatility in regard to Russia’s relationship to the West has characterized international political space since 1991. If Gorbachev and Yeltsin succeeded in negating the Soviet Russian past to thus attempt to make possible an integration with the value community of Western civilizations, Putin has conducted a strategy that initially seemed to be aimed at securing global multipolarity and internationally governing principles of Westphalian sovereignty, non-intervention and territorial integrity.

4. Breaking the Status Quo? - An Analysis of Sustainability Managers' Change Efforts
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Graduate SchoolSammanfattning : Societal expectations towards corporations to include social, environmental and ethical considerations have grown in importance, and corporations largely depend on so-called sustainability managers to help them meet these expectations. This thesis provides one of the first studies into how sustainability managers work and asks: how do sustainability managers work to change their organisation for a more sustainable future? Through interviews with 18 senior sustainability managers and an analysis of the empirical findings through institutional entrepreneurship and institutional logics theory, this study identifies sustainability managers as individual actors who adopt strategic approaches and work practices similar to institutional entrepreneurs and shows their efforts to institutionalise sustainability by hybridising it with the perceived dominant market logic and by establishing legitimacy.

5. It Takes Two to Tango: Perceptions and Motivations Towards Campaign Clientelism in Zambia
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Graduate SchoolSammanfattning : Various studies on clientelism usually start from a common puzzle: Why is campaign clientelism widely practised by politicians even when they have no means of ensuring reciprocity from the voters? Similarly, why is campaign clientelism widespread amongst voters despite its numerous negative consequences on societies, democracy, and development? These puzzles have motivated my research, where I attempt to understand the perceptions and motivations of politicians and voters towards campaign clientelism in Zambia. To address the research question, two forms of data collection methods were utilised, in-depth interviews with politicians at the local level and a survey of voters in densely populated areas (Lusaka and Kitwe).
