This study aims to investigate the issues concerning the implementation of the “Suicide Zero” policy  adopted  by  Region  Värmland  in  2015.  The  findings  of  this  study  showcase  the problematic  gap  between  policy,  implementation  and  the  actual  preventative  measures  for those  in  need.  Through  an  in-depth  analysis  of  the  implementation  process,  this  study illustrates how the preventative measures were influences by the political decisions made and how the process itself, long and bureaucratic both in a national an regional level, complicates the  understanding  of  who  is  responsible  for  what  in  the  political  arena  in  which  decisions were made. Keywords: implementation, ”Suicide Zero” policy, Region Värmland, implementation process

Abstract The purpose with this thesis is to study how teachers implement democracy in the Swedish school. This includes investigating which model of democracy that the teachers prefer. The models of democracy I search for are liberal democracy and participant democracy. The main research question in this thesis is: How is democracy implemented in the school? The second research question is: Which model of democracy is dominant in the school? I use a qualitative method by in- depth interviewing groups of teachers. I have interviewed teachers at two high schools which are located in Tingsryd and Alvesta. The thesis result show that one way to implement democracy in school is by letting the pupils participate in decisions that are made in the classroom. Which part of a course that should have priority and when the pupils would like to have a test, are methods used to implement democracy. These decisions are made by voting and following the majority. When it comes to model of democracy, the result show that most teachers prefer both models. One prefer participate democracy and a few prefer liberal democracy. It seems like it depends on the individual teacher how democracy is implemented, and which model of democracy that they prefer.
