Svensk vapenexport till Saudiarabien: Samspelet mellan ekonomiska intressen och mänskliga rättigheter 2020 (Swedish)Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis

Abstract [en]

How is Sweden manageing the conflict between exporting weapons to SaudiArabia and being a bearer of human rights? 

Based on an updated restricted regulation when it comes to armsexport, Sweden seems to value human rights more than the finacial benefits that comes with exporting weapons. 

Using ideals and interests as described by Goldmann, Coetzee and Ikegami, an analysis is made to measure to what extent the Swedish Government values human rights over economy.
