Den kommunala självstyrelsens resa - En principfråga möter konkret praktik

Sammanfattning: This thesis discusses the Swedish local self-government and how the meaning of it changes with time and within different contexts. Today we can see several situations when the matter of principle concerning the local slef-government meets the practical cases in society. As an example of this issue the reception of alone coming refugee children will illustrate one of these situations. This analyse will show, how the Swedish local self-government can be interpreted in different contexts and time. The illustrative example helps us understand how the discussion about local-self government is of great importance in today’s political and ideological argumentation. The study lead us tothe discussion about the alone coming refugee children and how they become an issue in both the political and the private field where the question of steering is vital. The study emphasises the discussion of how we handle the situation with refugee children arriving without their parents or other equal adult to Sweden.
