Item Eestlaste implitsiitsed hoiakud venelaste suhtes: välismaal elamise ja ekstravertsuse mõju(Tartu Ülikool, 2019) Laumets, Laura; Konstabel, Kenn, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Sotsiaalteaduste valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Psühholoogia instituutUurimistöö eesmärgiks oli välja selgitada kas välismaal elamise kogemus ning ekstravertsed isiksuseomadused mõjutavad inimese implitsiitseid hoiakuid teise rahvuse suhtes. Uurimistöö valimiks olid üliõpilased või viimase viie aasta jooksul ülikooli lõpetanud inimesed. Töös keskenduti eestlaste implitsiitsetele hoiakutele venelaste suhtes. Tulemused näitasid, et eestlased suhtuvad implitsiitselt positiivsemalt eestlastesse kui venelastesse. Välismaal elamise kogemusega eestlased ei suhtunud venelastesse implitsiitselt positiivsemalt kui need, kes välismaal elanud ei olnud. Ekstravertsuse ja implitsiitsete hoiakute vahel olulist seost käesolevas uurimuses ei leitud. Uurimus võimaldas vaadata kuidas erinevad eestlaste implitsiitsed ehk vähekontrollitud hoiakud venelastesse. Antud teema uurimine on oluline, sest Eestis elab suur venelaste vähemus, kelle integreerimine ühiskonda ei ole täielikult õnnestunud ning märgata võib sotsiaalset eristamist ning kohati isegi diskrimineerimist.Item The effects of ingroup love - outgroup hate: 2005 London terrorist attacks(Tartu Ülikool, 2019) Laumets, Laura; Vilson, Maili, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Sotsiaalteaduste valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Johan Skytte poliitikauuringute instituutWestern Europe in the 21st century has seen a terrifying rise of terrorist attacks, many of which are claimed to be Islamist by the perpetrators and extreme Islamist organizations. Nevertheless, the damage of none of these attacks is comparable to the damage done through 9/11 terrorist attacks in the USA in 2001. The reasons of the so called ‘Islamist’ terrorist attacks have been discussed by several authors. Nevertheless, the author of current thesis is not aware of any previous research that has tried to capture the social ingroups and outgroups and the intergroup relations regarding Muslims in the political discourses. The aim of the thesis was to show the discourses regarding Muslims and Islam in the British parliamentary debates post 9/11 terrorist attacks. The author wanted to point out potential social ingroups and outgroups deriving from these discourses to see if the intergroup relations were constructed in a way that would have an impact on triggering the 7/7 terrorist attacks in London, United Kingdom in 2005. The main research question was: which social ingroups and outgroups regarding Muslims and Islam derived from the British parliamentary debates from 9/11 until 7/7 and how were the intergroup relations constructed? To answer the main research question, the author of the thesis conducted a critical discourse analysis on five British parliamentary debates from 2001-2005. The coverage of Muslims and Islam in these debates was viewed through several theoretical explanations of ingroup and outgroup formation and intergroup relations. The analysis revealed that Islam and the majority of Muslims were portrayed in a rather positive manner in the British parliamentary debates. Although it was clear that Muslims are perceived as an outgroup in British society, the will to help and integrate Muslim community was evident. The intergroup relations in the parliamentary discourses were not constructed in a way that would have an impact on triggering the 7/7 terrorist attacks. The thesis contributes to the wider research of ingroup and outgroup formation and intergroup relations. Likewise, it contributes to the research of possible triggers for radicalism and terrorist movements.Item Liigkasuvõtmine kui heade kommete vastane tegevus tehingu tühisuse alusena(Tartu Ülikool, 2012) Laumets, Laura; Varul, Paul, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Õigusteaduskond; Tartu Ülikool. Tsiviilõiguse õppetoolItem Normative power Europe? The effect of EU human rights practice on the external perceptions of the EU in Turkey and Jordan(Tartu Ülikool, 2021) Laumets, Laura; Linsenmaier, Thomas, juhendaja; Vilson, Maili, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Sotsiaalteaduste valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Johan Skytte poliitikauuringute instituutThis Master’s thesis examines the effect of European Union’s (EU) human rights practice on the external perceptions of the EU. More specifically, it focuses on the consistency between EU human rights rhetoric and practice and explores how the possible inconsistencies affect the external image of the Union as a normative model on human rights. Previous research on Normative Power Europe (NPE) and external perceptions of the EU has shown that there are specific expectations to the foreign policy conduct of a normative actor. However, it has also been highlighted that the importance of a link between normative power and external perceptions has been underestimated in the literature thus far. Therefore, the thesis aims to investigate this link by focusing on the example of EU human rights consistency in its treatment of refugees and other migrants throughout its hotspot approach and to explore the effects of the human rights consistency on the external perceptions of the Union in regard of being a normative model on human rights and migration. To study this, the thesis first examines the human rights rhetoric of the EU and compares it to the human rights practice in the hotspot first reception facilities of migrants in Italy and Greece. The study then moves on to investigate the external perceptions of the EU as a normative actor on human rights and migration in Turkey and Jordan based on the statements of political elite and interviews with representatives of the civil society. The findings show that there are various inconsistencies between the EU’s rhetoric and practice in terms of human rights in the hotspots. Furthermore, these inconsistencies have negatively affected the external perceptions of the EU as a model on human rights and migration in Turkey and Jordan. Additionally, the study reveals that the external perceptions of the EU as a human rights protector in the world have suffered since 2015 as a response to the poor treatment of refugees within the territory of the Union.
