More specifically, the study examines the separation between the state and private interests, based on the assumption that this separation is a precondition for maintaining democracy and legitimate governance. It is thereby a contribution towards understanding the social forces that allow private interests to penetrate the public realm, as well as the forces that protect the state from such penetration. Under which circumstances do private interests access state apparatus in ways that contradicts its universalistic principles? How does the state consider challenges against its legitimacy and how are such threats dealt with? These questions are answered by means of two case studies. The first concerns the interaction between a number of state authorities that receive sponsoring from business enterprises. The second concerns interaction - partially afflicted by corruption - between the state monopoly for selling alcoholic beverages ('Systembolaget') in Sweden and its private suppliers. Applying theories on organizational boundaries, exchange, trust, networks as well as legitimacy to these cases, the study demonstrates how state reforms, inspired by the logic of markets, has introduced new ways for private interest to access state affairs. In the case of 'Systembolaget', this is particularly evident. The possibility of access, the study argues, is a consequence of reshaping the internal boundaries of the state, broadening informal relations as well as extended scope of action for state employees. This replaced social differentiation as a mechanism of separation by the personal integrity of state employees. Interestingly, this finding should be considered in relation to how the state has attempted to sharpen its organizational boundaries through a strengthening of regulation and the businesslike relations of exchange. 504 Includes bibliographical references (pages 231-244). 650 0 Democracy |xEconomic aspects 650 0 Democracy |xEconomic aspects |zSweden |vCase studies. 650 0 Conflict of interests 650 0 Political corruption 650 0 Business and politics 655 7 Academic theses |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01726453 655 7 Case studies |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01423765 655 7 Academic theses |2lcgft 830 0 Acta Universitatis Stockholmiensis. |pStockholm studies in sociology |vn.s. 39. |x0491-0885 583 1 committed to retain |c20181001 |din perpetuity |fReCAP Shared Collection |5HUL |8222143242150003941 852 0 |cHD |hJC423 |i.C37 2009 |013746940 |bscsbhl 876 |01374694019576232 |h |jAvailable |kWID |p32044116686148 |xShared |zHW |lHD
