Abstract
The article presents a comparative analysis of mandatory networks used as an integrated part of local governance of the primary medical service in Norway, and their management. Both the networks and their management showed considerable variation in their basic characteristics, and three different management roles are described: ‘the diplomat’, ‘the adversary’ and ‘the equal partner’. The article argues that the managerial role of a network is a result of, as well as inflicting on, the distribution of power between the participants in the network.
