This essay focuses on studying how Swedish authoritys implemented the program gender mainstreaming in their operation. The study uses the theoretical perspective of foucauldian discourse analysis and Kingsleys representation bureaucacy theory for help to answer the scientific question. In a qualitative analysis I used a WPR analysis on official documents for plans of gender mainstreaming from two choosen authoritys, both of which are part of the government's program of gender mainstreaming. The essay presented results that it is the management of the authoritys that decides which norms and values are to be raised in the authoritys business plans. And the concept of gender equality becomes a political measure based on the messenger's demand for a refund. The results of the representation bureaucracy theory analysis shows that gender mainstreaming is built on the demands from the outside world that make them highlight gender equality and a more representative core business in their plans. / <p>2021-06-04</p>
