ABSTRACT
At a time where it is politically incorrect to speak of one unitary conclusion when analysing such complex and multidimensional fields as participation, marginalization and welfare services. When participation is to be put into action and not least when participation is connected to the relation between welfare services and service users the practitioners within the services have a central role. It will be a balancing act wherein different strategies and interested parties become engaged; a balancing act that demands a type of coordinator who knows and can connect with the different interests. Despite the fact that problems of marginalization and participation have to be understood, analysed, changed, and given attention to on a more general societal level where more general developmental tendencies. To make it possible to address this multilevel task, collective analyses, processes, deliberations and actions are necessary.
