The principle of keeping culture at arm’s length from politicians has been a long-standing tradition in Swedish cultural politics but has recently become more of a salient political issue. Municipalities is one level of government that handles a large part of the public funding of cultural activities but has no constitutional protection implementing this principle, instead it is implemented through upheld local norms and individual politician respect for the principle. The purpose of this thesis is to examine a previously unstudied aspect in Swedish cultural governance. What types of microsteering strategies are used in governing local Cultural and Recreational Committees and how do public officials view those strategies. This is done through interviewing different Head Administrative Officers and Head of Department officials in Cultural and Recreational Committees in different municipalities and analysed through the analytical framework of microsteering, developed by Jacobsson, Pierre and Sundström.
