Chapter 3 · How Sweden is governed
Hur styr regeringen normalt en myndighets allmänna arbete?
How does the government normally direct an agency’s general work?
Correct answer: Through collective decisions on instructions and assignments
The government makes collective decisions on matters such as instructions and assignments. These set a framework for the agency without allowing government to dictate protected individual cases.
