Matter consisting of up, down and strange quarks, socalled Strange QuarkMatter, has been hypothesized to be stable in bulk, and conceivably stable ormetastable in finite systems---strangelets---as an alternative state toordinary baryonic matter. Strangelets, if they exist, may be relics from thehot and dense early universe, or they could be produced in high energy events,such as collisions of heavy nuclei at relativistic speeds. This thesisinvestigates the implications of various effects that affects the possible(meta-) stability of strangelets, such as finite size, distribution of quarkstates (shell model), interaction with a hadron gas, non-zero temperature andQCD constraints of color singletness of the wave function. These effects arestudied within the phenomenological MIT bag model of quark matter using themultiple reflection expansion for a liquid drop model equation of state withcomparison to a shell model. Finite size, non-zero temperature and colorsinglet constraints have a destabilizing effect on strangelets, and cansuppress their production in heavy ion collisions.  The work presented has been described in part in the following publications:  Dan M{\o}nster Jensen and Jes Madsen, Strangelets at Non-Zero Temperature, inStrangeness and Quark Matter, edited by G. Vassiliadis, A. D. Panagiotou, S.Kumar, and J. Madsen (World Scientific, Singapore, 1995), pp. 220--229.  Jes Madsen, Dan M. Jensen, and Michael B.
