- [Bachelors Thesis](https://versityspot.com/amid/am-ht4k-b8z3-8e39) — A Bachelors Thesis written by Jonathan Björkman and Pontus Widne. The Thesis tackles contemporary issues with the European Union and internal organizational conflict.
- [Gendered Frontlines: Men, Women, and the Politics of Protection in the Russia-Ukraine War, 2022-2026](https://versityspot.com/amid/am-j8rx-rcxn-saxu) — This thesis argues that dominant narratives of female victimhood and male agency obscure the real gender architecture of the Russia-Ukraine war — from the male-predominant pattern of sexual violence in detention to women's exclusion from peace talks — all flowing from a single protection order that the Women, Peace and Security agenda is failing to address.
- [Networks, Systems, and Temporary Protection: Drivers of Mobility and Policy Trade-offs in the EU–Ukraine Migration Crisis](https://versityspot.com/amid/am-ndg4-zf22-cbc6) — The EU's response to the largest displacement crisis in Europe since the Second World War was, by almost any measure, a success, and therein lies its problem: an instrument built for speed was never redesigned for permanence, and millions of Ukrainians now live in the legal uncertainty that followed.
- [Limitations on freedom of Speech 2](https://versityspot.com/amid/am-ukju-v3df-a3gx) — This paper analyzes European human rights law and the limitations it imposes on freedom of speech in response to the statement, “Freedom of speech must sometimes be restricted in the name of democracy.”

- [Political Orientation and Institutional Trust: A Quantitative Analysis of Systematic Differences](https://versityspot.com/amid/am-r32a-93mq-h3eu) — This paper investigates whether political orientation influences trust in state institutions like the police, military, and legal system. Through survey data, the researchers demonstrate that right-leaning individuals generally report higher institutional trust than their left-leaning counterparts.
- [Gender, Intersectionality, and Development:  Violence, Climate Change, and the Limits of Nonintersectional Analysis](https://versityspot.com/amid/am-bdvf-gcc8-p8ta) — Traditional development models often rely on a binary "men vs. women" lens, yet this simplicity can be dangerous. In crisis zones like Ukraine or on the frontlines of climate change, a one-size-fits-all approach risks leaving the most vulnerable behind. This paper explores why intersectionality is not just a theory, but a survival necessity.
