How Do Laws Regulating Global Trade Actually Work?

Companies today have a responsibility to ensure their production does not violate human rights or harm the environment. These regulations, known as "due diligence laws," require businesses to assess risks in their supply chains. But do companies actually follow these rules? How do governments and other actors enforce them? And could they be made more effective? A new political science research project explores these questions.

Misfortune May Discontinue across Generations

Why do disadvantages persist in some families across generations, while others seem to escape the cycle? A new thesis from Stockholm University, sheds novel light on this question by tracing how socioeconomic and psychosocial disadvantages are associated with mental health problems across three generations. But it also reveals that it is possible to break such a vicious cycle of multigenerational disadvantages for improving mental health of future generations.

A troubled childhood may leave an imprint for life

Childhood adversity is linked to an increased risk of mental health problems and physical diseases, such as cancer and cardiovascular conditions, across the life course. It can also contribute to long-term socioeconomic disadvantage. A new thesis from Stockholm University explores patterns in disadvantage, and pathways leading from early adversity to later health and socioeconomic outcomes.
