  2. 6. Politics and business in the Barents Region

    Author : Bo Svensson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Regionalisation; inter-regional co-operation; transnational business; firms; public-private partnerships; interdependence; territoriality; policy networks; multi-level governance; foreign direct investment; the Barents Region; East-West integration; Russia; Politik; Internationellt ekonomiskt samarbete; Multinationella företag; Regionalt samarbete - Barentsregionen; Ekonomi - Barentsregionen; Barentsregionen; Political science;

    Abstract : Since the end of the Cold War, co-operation across the former Iron Curtain has been considered a key issue for future prosperity both in the East and West of Europe. Public and private actors of all kinds have developed relations in this complicated cross-border setting and certain qualitatively new aspects of this development inspired this research effort.

    Abstract : Floods pose a threat to society that can cause large socio-economic damages and loss of life in many parts of the world. Flood-forecasting models are required to provide simulations at temporal resolutions higher than a day in basins with concentration times smaller than 24 h. READ MORE

  5. 8. Understanding the East Asian Peace Informal and formal conflict prevention and peacebuilding in the Taiwan Strait, the Korean Peninsula, and the South China Sea 1990-2008

    Abstract : The overall purpose of this dissertation is to provide an empirical study of the post-Cold War East Asian security setting, with the aim of understanding why there is an East Asian peace. The East Asian peace exists in a region with a history of militarised conflicts, home to many of the world's longest ongoing militarised problems and a number of unresolved critical flashpoints.

    Abstract : Flooding is of great concern world-wide, causing damage to infrastructure, property and loss of life. Low-income countries, in particular, can be negatively affected by flood events due to their inherent vulnerabilities. Moreover, data to perform studies for flood risk management in low-income regions are often scarce or lacking sufficient quality. READ MORE
