| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
NPOs play a critical role in advocating in the field of social welfare in Sweden and have significant influence in the society. This study tries to explore and clarify the reasons why Swedish NPOs can be so powerful and effective in advocacy from the two perspectives: 1)Social policies and institutions (macro), 2) Actual strategies taken by NPOs especially in the field of individual and family welfare(micro). As a result, it is found that there was no special public policy to promote social welfare organizations to advocate. Instead the reason was found in the history of the civil society and the development of Swedish social welfare state. There is what we can call “legitimacy” of NPOs in Swedish society which enables them to exist firmly and to be heard.
