The focus of the thesis is mainly on perceptions held by the state and Riksidrottsförbundet - and if their relationship have developed and shifted over time. The results shows no or little evidence of New Public Management philosophy itself causing a shift in perceptions. However some trends that are in line with New Public Management philosophy can be observed. These are foremost: higher demands by the state for measurability, professionalism and an increased perception on the states part of being a consumer buying a service. A diminishing interest by the state in the intrinsic values of being a non-profit organization can also be observed. (Less)
