Abstract

This article deals with the structure, function, duties, role and importance of the local governments in Sweden. Especially, it is concerned with the developments in 1980s, 1990s and later on in Sweden. The main reason why this artical focuses on this process is the reorganization of local governments, especially in line with the globalization and localization policies as in many European countries. In accordance with the local government law enacted in 1991 central-local relations and the duties and authorities of the local governments were regulated. The authority and duties of the local administrations have been increased with the prepared law. Many powers belonging to the center have been transferred to the local governments. There have been some changes in the structure and functioning of the local governments by the aforementioned act. Thus, the article primarily focuses on this local government law.
