The book is mainly about the implementation of the ideas of early nationalism in Europe during 19th century and how nationalist movements took place within Bosnia during the time when that area of Balkan was partContinue reading “Whose Bosnia?”

Arholma is a place where I can find more peace and focus. Here, I can do both work and vacation without noting the difference betweenContinue reading “Greetings from Arholma”
The S-Tank
Stockholm 2020-05-18 Yesterday I passed by the Army Museum in Stockholm. One of the main exhibitions that are outdoor is the “S-tank”, officially called Stridsvagn-103 (Tank 103). The S-tank was famous for its “unique” or “strange” design. Military or tank experts had disagreements regarding its status because not all experts could agree if S-103 evenContinue reading “The S-Tank”

Smalare men vassare EU. Centerpartiets EU-politiska kommunikation i förändring
Jag har skrivit denna artikel genom att analysera begreppet ”smalare menvassare” rörande Centerpartiets EU-politiska kommunikation. Intresset väcktesredan under 2014 i samband med Europaparlamentsvalet när Centerpartietpresenterade sitt valprogram och senare under 2016 när jag skrev minmasteruppsats om svenska riksdagspartiers politiska kommunikation under EP-valet.
EU-pass till flyktingar? Fri rörlighet som integrationsmöjlighet
Inspiration för tanken om att flyktingar skulle efter sin rättsliga prövning kunna få EU-pass fick jag ifrån EU-medborgarinitiativet choosefreedom.eu .
