Bristande jämställdhet mellan kvinnor och män och könsdiskriminerande praktiker har över tid fått alltmer uppmärksamhet. Kraven och förväntningarna på världens stater, inte minst de relativt sett så jämställda nordiska länderna, att åtgärda problemen är stora. Lagstiftning är ett medel som staterna har till sitt förfogande. Rättens betydelse, dess möjligheter och tillkortakommanden i relation till ojämställdhet och diskriminerande praktiker är temat för denna antologi. I nitton artiklar av danska, finska, norska och svenska forskare verksamma inom fältet kjønn og rett, diskuteras sambandet mellan kön och rätt under fyra aktuella teman, alla med förändring i fokus. De tre första rör förändringar i samhället och i rätten, såsom i förståelsen av kön och dess betydelse för rätten till jämställdhet och ickediskriminering, förändringar i välfärdsstaten och förändrade gränser mellan det offentliga och det privata. Det sista temat behandlar förändringar i forskningsfältet som sådant

In 1870, political science was established as an academic discipline, attached to history, at the Lund University. In 1877, a chair in history and political science was created. Twenty-five years later, it was transformed into a chair in political science and statistics. In 1926, that symbiosis was put to an end and political science was awarded a chair of its own. Pontus Fahlbeck, professor from 1889 to 1917, was a historian who developed into a social scientist with broad interests: political science, statistics, economics, and sociology. Several of his books were also published in foreign languages and he had many contacts with colleagues abroad, particularly in France and Germany. However, the critical period in the modernization of political science in Lund happened just after the middle of the 20th century, with Nils Stjernquist, holding the chair from 1951 to 1983, at helm. The dependence of history and legal science waned; the influence of social science, especially in its American version, increased. The result was a modern political science department with broad interests and worldwide contacts. References.

This article deals with the allez and retour provisions (Claes 2005: 84 f) of the Swedish constitution in relation to IU membership. What are the rules governing the transfer of sovereignty to the Union? And what are the provisions for assessing the constitutionality of the incoming tide of Union law into the domestic legal order? I have three objects in this essay. First, to describe how these two groups of constitutional rules were actually modified in the 2010 revision of the 1974 Instrument of Government. 1 find that neither was changed in any material way. Second, to try to explain the apparent reluctance of the parties involved to clarify the constitutional implications of EU membership. I find that this reluctance is rooted in a belief that European integration is not furthered if the rules contained in the allez and retour provisions are made stricter and more precise. Third, to confront a question conspicuously omitted by the parties in their revision: namely, by what criterion should the allez. and retour provisions be intertwined, if an optimum of hi-level constitutionalism is to be achieved? I argue that, in the end, the underlying issue is whether Swedish citizens want to see the principle of free movement applied as widely as possible. Do they want this principle to be applied across the board? Or would they prefer instead to restrict its application to the case of capital and goods, thus leaving them free to structure the labour market and welfare state as they themselves see fit?
