This essay aims to examine how Theories within childhood sociology have evolved. The main questions are: Who are the central scientists within the field, what are their objects of study and who are the intended recipients of their work? How can the origin of the Theories be described? Which elements are central in the Theories and have they changed over time? How can the Theories be evaluated based on criteria of valid Theories?The study was based on a qualitative literature review.

The Theories have been operationalized as questions and structured in four themes with the purpose of analyzing the interviews.

The questions I?ve examined are On what priorities the actions of developing democracy are built? Which positive effects have been reached and what problems have arisen? What are the solutions they have found to the problems? How does one experience the results of the experiments and actions taken? What are the similarities and differences between the two cases? and What is their relationship to the Theories mentioned above?The questions are answered through interviews with four central actors in each case and examined in relation to participatory and deliberative democratic Theories and in comparison of the two cases.The results have been that even if none of the cases respond to one theoretical ideal, they have touches of both Theories as well as representative theory. It shows, however, that in Malung the representative democracy theory is the strongest represented in actions and politics, while in Nyköping the participatory democratic theory is stronger. In short, the most positive and negative effects respond well to the Theories..
