Abstract
In this paper we discuss the changes in relationship between central and local government in Norway in a decade of reforms both at central and local levels. A main topic is the balance between unity and diversity or state integration and local autonomy. The concepts of coordination and specialization are discussed and we examine the dynamic changes in the relationships between different mechanisms of coordination, different forms of specialization and integration vis-à-vis autonomy. Changes in structures and in procedures both centrally and locally and in the relationship between state and local government have made the coordination of tasks difficult whereby central regulations have taken new forms and become even stronger. Paradoxically, reforms aimed at more local autonomy have resulted in even stronger integration.
 
I dette notatet diskuterers endringer i relasjonene mellom statlig og kommunalt nivå i Norge etter 15 år med omfattende reformer både på sentralt og lokalt nivå. Et hovedtema er balansen mellom statlig integrasjon og lokalt selvstyre. Sentralt i diskusjonen står relasjonene mellom ulike spesialiseringsprinsipper og samordningsformer. Endringer i strukturer og prosedyrer både på sentralt og lokalt nivå og i relasjonene mellom stat og kommune har skapt nye utfordringer for samordning både horisontalt og vertikalt og de sentrale reguleringene har tatt nye former og blitt forsterket. En noe paradoksal konklusjon er at reformer som skulle styrke det lokale selvstyret har resultert i sterkere statlig integrasjon, og forfatterne reiser spørsmålet om vi er på veg inn i reguleringsstaten og effektueringskommunen.
