DEN KOMMUNALA FÖRVALTNINGEN SOM RATIONALISTISKT IDEAL - en fallstudie om styrning och handlingsutrymme inom skola, barnomsorg och miljö- och hälsoskydd.(The municipal authority as a rationalist ideal - a case-study on steering and scope for initiative within child-care, education and environmental departments.)A municipal authority is a considerable producer of services in the local community and iscommonly perceived as an important sector of the Swedish welfare system. One aspect of awell-functioning municipal organisation is that its administrative organs function efficiently.This study examines how activities in municipal administration are steered. The focus is on how different methods are used within a vertical hierarchical perspective to influence the actions of the participants and how the latter try to create space for action. To analyse the problem an ideal-type steering model is used.The study consists of three sections. In the first the research problem and the aims of the study are introduced as well as the methodological and theoretical approach. The result of the study is presented in the second section and in the third conclusions are drawn and discussed.The study shows that the perceptions of the participants involved regarding the possibilities of steering the everyday activities with the support of the methods studied differ on a number of points depending on the sector studied. When control of the various steering methods is distributed in different organisational units in the municipality a number of steering mechanisms operate side-by-side, sometimes in harmony and sometimes independently or in pure conflict with their goals. Steering leads to clear restrictions but there is clearlyroom for initiative, a ‘free-zone’ where the individual has room to act independently. Is it possible based on this study to state whether the ideal-type model functions in the way intended? On many accounts it would seem doubtful whether the effects of steering lead to beneficial effects for the activity. Rather it would seem that the effects of steeringsometimes function more or less randomly because the administration exists in a complexcontext in which the staff can be expected to have its own expectations and act in accordancewith them.

Modern capitalism is not singular. There are varieties of capitalism in the contemporary world. This thesis aims to apply the Varieties of Capitalism approach developed by Hall and Soskice (2001) to the case of the Czech Republic and ascertain whether the Czech market economy is approaching a liberal or a coordinated ideal type defined by these authors. At the same time, such findings might provide an answer to whether the Varieties of Capitalism approach designed for advanced industrialized economies is fully applicable for analysis of a post-socialist country that underwent a complicated process of economic and institutional transformation.

Med en intervjuundersökning med några verksamma musikproducenter bosatta i Sverige är syftet att bidra med bredare förståelse för deras verksamheter. Problemområdet utgörs av svårigheten att beskriva musikproducenters verksmamhet då branshen genomgått en strukturomvandling genom ökningen av digital produktion och konsumtion av musik. Första frågeställningen är: hur beskriver musikproducenterna sina verksamheter? Med teori från Aspers (2010) om skillnad mellan standard- och statusmarknader är andra frågeställningen: inom vilka typer av marknader agerar de? Med teori från forskning om musikproducentroller (Gullö, 2010;Burgess, 2012; Moorefiel,2005) är tredje frågeställningen ur vilka aktörsroller agerar de? Oväntade resultat är att musikproducenterna investerade mycket av tid och pengar från annan verksamhet för att skapa sina anseenden. Det var svårt att tolka om de entydigt verkade inom status eller standard marknad. Min tolkning är att deras aktörsroller kunde vara eller växla mellan scenframträdande musikproducenter och stödjande musikproducenter vilket kan ge en bredare förståelse för musikproducenters verksamheter.
