Research projects on Political Science
At Luleå University of Technology, we study, among other things, how environmental conflicts are handled, the importance of institutions for efficient and fair resource management and which political instruments are perceived as reliable in the work for a more sustainable society. Here you will find the research projects that are currently underway and also information about previously completed research projects within the research subject Political Science.
