The Swedish society and welfare model are under constant changes anddevelopment. One of the core areas in this welfare model is the social policy. By analysing the changing role of the organizations in the civil society on a local level with a theoretical typology changes in the roles can be noted. These changes can with a model for ideal types raice questions about bigger changes concerning issues of legitimacy and accountablility. I uses qualitative method including interviews with actors on the local level, earlier reseach in the field and public documents. Apart from analysing the changes in the roles for the organizations of the civil society the thesis brings up the necesity to develop the field theoretically to be able to analyze the role of the organizations in the welfare city of tomorrow. My results points towards a complex development where hybrization of the system and its actors is started to be noted. This effects the role, the accountability and the legitimacy of the organizations in the civil society as well as the welfare system in general.
