From a democratic point of view the existing organisation with municipality sections in the city of Malmö, Sweden will be examined. The matter of how an alternative organisation should be structured will also be discussed. Two incompatible models of democracy theories will be arranged: libertarian democracy and participation democracy. The intentions with the reform were primary to increase the civic participation. By applying those values that are used to characterize participation democracy it will be shown whether the local participation has actually increased. The possible scarcities in the organisation structures will be illuminated. A normative libertarian discussion aims to find alternatives to the existing establishment. Among other things it is revealed that formal democratic participation should not necessarily be prioritized over the benefits of individual freedom and efficiency.Keywords: Autonomy, decentralisation, efficiency, libertarian democracy, municipality sections, participation democracyCharacters: 84 762
