The overall purpose is to increase knowledge about personal involvement in the role of the civil servant and indeed to contribute to existing theory on the significance of enthusiastic persons in carrying out political decisions. The thesis is based on three different sub-studies of the role of the civil servant in local environmental work. The first sub-study is a mapping of municipal environmental management officers. It was found that the majority of these officers are an environmentally aware elite, over 60 per cent are or have been members of environmental organizations. Within this group it was possible to discern three different shades: the gray-green, the light green and the clear green. Sub-study II investigates the actual work with the environmental objectives in six municipalities. The results show that involvement resides in the person. The enthusiastic person, the fiery spirit, is a recurrent theme throughout the interviews and is considered necessary throughout the process. Sub-study III is an intensified study of the results of the two previous sub-studies and indicates that enthusiastic people are important. The enthusiastic person or the fiery spirit is aware that there are risks; they call attention to the importance of balance and of being diplomatic. On the basis of the empirical material presented in this thesis, I am able to add new knowledge and contribute to the development of theory. My contribution can be summarized in two points: • development of the role of civil servant • effects of steering by objectives On the basis of the interviews with the fiery spirits I created two new ideal types: the enthusiastic bureaucrat, who is a person who can take issue and be brave, who does not always show evidence of pragmatic solutions but has a strong feeling for a community governed by law, and the networking balancing act artist, who is a problem-solver that joins the ranks of the new social movements. Management by objectives has given civil servants greater room for action, which widens the space for personal enthusiasm. Management by objectives in public activities does not need to mean that the decision-maker and the executor of policy stand on the same level in a multi-level-democratic system but that there is agreement over goals between decision-makers and executors.Item Välfärdspolitik under utveckling i Mexico(School of Public Administration/Förvaltningshögskolan, 2010) Salas, Osvaldo; Villanueva, César; Villanueva Ulfgård, Rebecka; Göteborgs universitet; University of GothenburgItem Tillsynskompetens inom området skydd mot olyckor på kommunal nivå(School of Public Administration/Förvaltningshögskolan, 2010) Ivarsson, Andreas; Ek, Emma; Göteborgs universitet; University of GothenburgItem "Den nya svenskinspirerade föräldrapenningen har haft avsedd verkan". - En studie av den tyska föräldraförsäkringens förändring ur ett jämställdhetsperspektiv(School of Public Administration/Förvaltningshögskolan, 2010) Svensson, Petra; Göteborgs universitet; University of GothenburgItem Tillsynskompetens inom området skydd mot olyckor på länsstyrelsenivå(School of Public Administration/Förvaltningshögskolan, 2010) Ek, Emma; Ivarsson, Andreas; Göteborgs universitet; University of GothenburgItem Politik på hemmaplan.

Proponents argue that this type of project ends up attracting visitors, new inhabitants and businesses. But what makes the municipality stand out in contrast to others, is difficult to determine in advance and the concepts of identity and growth are, as motives, vague and broad. The projects are also discussed and criticised because they are risky and their effects are uncertain. Even so, they are carried through. How could this be, and why? But even though there are problems in deciding what the projects lead to, they lead to something - if nothing else they create opinions, which leads to action. Three projects were studied from ideas to establishments and three fundamental questions, why, how and what, framed this study of identity projects. The study has a ‘sense making’ perspective, based on Karl Weicks theories where sense is created retrospectively. The study therefore also has the actors' perceptions in focus and interviews were carried out in three municipalities using forty-one interviews with respondents who, in different forms, had been important in establishing the projects. The results indicate that the projects take place because they grow over time and have the ability to alter motive after where in the process they are. The projects are formed over a long period even if they, once they are established, are described as news. The projects are flexible due to the vague motives and they might not answer to the initial idea. The process is described in seven phases, in one of them an opportunity arises and visionary ideas are here translated into concrete projects. In the next phase the projects are locked in and cannot be withdrawn - but they can still change. The study showed that the projects lead to more projects, because they alter the municipality and then new problems arise. The projects will also sooner or later be considered as good, or at least they will be accepted, and the projects will find an aim to fulfil. In addition, the projects lives on and because they change and evolve during time there is no ‘after the projects’ to consider.Item Mental health policy and the welfare state.
