Democratic Accountability in Strategic Coordination Bodies — An Investigation of Governance in Swedish Elder Care
The establishment of strategic coordination bodies with members from different agencies and that are governed by various laws and regulations can be understood as an answer to the demand for improved coordinated care for citizens with complex needs, such as frail older people. However, this demand raises fundamental questions of democratic control and accountability in the modern welfare state. Although these issues are addressed in current liter…

Strategic collaboration councils in the mental health services
FROM THE IDENTIFIED ACTIVITIES, THE COUNCILS CAN BE CLASSIFIED INTO FOUR IDEAL TYPES: the information council, the problem-identification council, the decision-making council, and the self-organizing council
Making sense of common sense
A distinguishing feature of S wedish child protection is the direct and indirect influence on decision‐making in individual cases by representatives appointed by their elected political parties.

Publicly financed services provided by subcontracted private enterprises have increased substantially in every welfare sector, including social work. Furthermore, numbers of self-employed social workers also appear to be increasing. The aim o…
