1. 6. In the Shadow of Settlement : Multiple Rebel Groups and Precarious Peace

   Författare :Desirée Nilsson; Mats Hammarström; Magnus Öberg; Erik Melander; Virginia Page Fortna; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Peace and conflict research; peace agreement; civil war; conflict resolution; rebel group; negotiated settlement; bargaining; conflict termination; durable peace; internal conflict; duration analysis; Freds- och konfliktforskning;

   Sammanfattning : How can durable peace be achieved in the wake of a civil war settlement? Previous quantitative research on this topic has, so far, mainly focused on two parties – the government and the opposition – thereby failing to consider the complexity that may arise in conflicts where the rebel side involves several groups. This dissertation addresses this gap in the study of durable peace. LÄS MER

3. 7. Dangerous Liaisons : Why Ex-Combatants Return to Violence. Cases from the Republic of Congo and Sierra Leone

   Författare :R. Anders Nilsson; Thomas Ohlson; Kristine Höglund; Mats Hammarström; Joanna Spear; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; ex-combatants; reintegration; demobilization; DDR; conflict resolution; peacebuilding; civil wars; Republic of Congo; Sierra Leone; Peace and conflict research; Freds- och konfliktforskning;

   Sammanfattning : After disarming and demobilizing, why do some ex-combatants re-engage in organized vio-lence, while others do not? Even though former fighters have been identified as a major source of insecurity in post-civil war societies due to their military know-how, there have been few efforts to systematically examine this puzzle. This study fills this research gap by comparing the presence or absence of organized violence in different ex-combatant communi-ties – all the former fighters that used to belong to the same armed faction and who share a common, horizontal identity based on shared war-and peacetime experiences.

4. 8. Equal Peace : United Nations Peace Operations and the Power-Relations between men and women in Timor-Leste

   Författare :Louise Olsson; Peter Wallensteen; Mats Hammarström; Fen Osler Hampson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; United Nations; Peacekeeping; Peace Operations; Peacebuilding; Equality; Timor-Leste; Peace and conflict research; Freds- och konfliktforskning;

   Sammanfattning : This dissertation expands the inquiry of United Nations peace operations to incorporate their effects on gender power-relations of the host state. To achieve this, a mainstream-based analytical framework, additionally informed by suggestions from feminist research, was formulated and applied to the case of Timor-Leste. LÄS MER

5. 9. A Scramble for Rents : Foreign Aid and Armed Conflict

   Författare :Margareta Sollenberg; Mats Hammarström; Peter Wallensteen; Erik Melander; Margit Bussmann; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; armed conflict; civil conflict; civil war; coup d etat; foreign aid; rents; institutions; aid dependence; aid shocks; Peace and Conflict Research; Freds- och konfliktforskning;

   Sammanfattning : Previous research has not specified the circumstances under which foreign aid may increase the probability of armed conflict. The purpose of this dissertation is to address this gap by employing a theoretical framework in which foreign aid produces incentives for a rent-seeking scramble among elites. LÄS MER

7. 10. The enzymatic machinery of leukotriene biosynthesis : Studies on ontogenic expression, interactions and function

   Författare :Tobias Strid; Sven Hammarström; Mats Söderström; Ralf Morgenstern; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Leukotrienes (LTs) are biologically active arachidonic acid (AA) derivatives generated by the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) pathway. They are produced by myeloid cells. 5-LO converts AA to LTA4 in cooperation with 5-LO activating protein (FLAP). LTA4 is converted to LTB4, by LTA4-hydrolase (LTA4H) or to LTC4 by LTC4-synthase (LTC4S). LÄS MER
