Description
Summary:"One of the central questions of political science has been whether politicians control the bureaucracy or whether the bureaucracy possesses independent authority from democratic institutions of government. George A. Krause challenges conventional perspectives by maintaining that a broader institutional focus on administrative politics should entail the possible existence of a "two-way street" between bureaucratic agencies and political institutions. Relying on advanced statistical techniques and case studies, Krause argues for a dynamic system of influence. His analysis and conclusions will challenge conventional theoretical and empirical wisdom in the field of administrative politics and public bureaucracy."--Jacket.
