The purpose of this thesis is to examine if the position of children’s culture in Swedish cultural politics has been affected by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) becoming Swedish law. The study analyse the cultural political strategies in four local and regional councils to see if they aligns with the UNCRC and highlights how these four councils are thinking in their ongoing work with their respective cultural political strategies, considering this new prerequisite. The study is based on an hermeneutic perspective, standing for qualitative systems of understanding and interpretation. The theoretical starting-point for the study is Dorte SkotHansen’s model defining three rationals which have dominated the local cultural policies the last decades. The methods I am using in the study is text analysis in the shape of idea analysis according to Skot-Hansens three culture political rationalities. The study also includes qualitative interviews in order to gain a deeper understanding for the cultural political strategies. The study is a comparing analysis of the UNCRC and the four strategies. The study shows a good correspondance between the culture plans and the UNCRC. The municipalities have in many ways implemented the UNCRC’s perspective on culture in their cultural political strategies already. However much of the work is still unclear as the implementation of the law is still in its infancy.
