Abstract [en]

This Bachelors thesis will cover the subject of power distribution between civil servants and politicians. The aim is to empirically study who the power and influence belongs to in the delegation documentation. Delegation as a policy will be empirically studied to discover potential differences by the municipalities normative power-decision. The study will focus on the delegations’ documentations from 21 administrational boards of building regulations in Sweden.

The research questions are: • To what degree do officials have the power to make decision through delegation in Swedish municipalities? •    How does delegation of authority impact the formation of legal certainty?

The main method used is a quantitative content analysis and to make sure the study can dig deeper into its findings, a qualitative content analysis has been used in addition.

The result of the study shows a pattern how power shifts from politicians to civil servants. The management model delegation will be observed hence thought the survey clearly will show how economy values like efficiency sometimes tend to be more important than democratic values as legal certainty.
