1. 6. Surplus Cities : An Investigation in Density Externalities and a Consequent New Approach to Urbanism

   University essay from KTH/Fastigheter och byggande

   Author : Peter Dabrowski; [2016]
   Keywords : externalities; density; developer; prisoners dilemma; inverse density tax; supply buffer; urbanism;

   Abstract : The founding premise of this paper is simple; that urban density has positive externalities and that these are unaccounted for in the developers’ density choice. This paper looks at the incentive structure of individual developers though a theoretical perspective and shows that the density choice is a suboptimal product of a prisoner’s dilemma game.

3. 7. United Nations Peacekeeping Operations as a Potential Hindrance to Peace in the Great Lakes Region of Africa: A case of the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUSCO) : MONUSCO as a Subconscious Spoiler in the Congolese Peace Process

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för samhällsstudier (SS)

   Author : Innocent Amaese Lopor; [2016]
   Keywords : MONUSCO; DRC; Stabilization; Peace Process; UN Peacekeeping; Hindering; Spoilers;

   Abstract : As the Congolese conflict marks the 20th year, and the peace process 17 years, the apparent question is why is the search for peace in the DRC proving elusive? Spoilers and other impediments to the peace process in the DRC have been studied and UN peacekeepers have been operational in the country for nearly seventeen years, but the conflict continues. This study therefore seeks to understand the potential of UN peacekeeping to hinder the peace process in the DRC, and the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) constitutes a study case.
