Abstract

Over the last two decades, the question of organization has been a matter of great interest in many Swedish municipalities, and remains so today. What are the ideas behind the way municipalities organize themselves and how are the ideas related to the municipality context? This is the focus of this article. The discussion is based on a broad study of organizing activities in four municipalities in Sweden. The ideas of organizing identified in the study are analysed in two institutional dimensions related to contextual circumstances. The first covers the way the ideas are influenced by two ways of thinking, termed respectively political and administrative logic. The second dimension covers the way the ideas are affected by local and national institutional thinking. We show how these dimensions influence organizing.
