Administration and the Bureaucratic Phenomenon
Keywords:
administration, bureaucracy, organisation, stateAbstract
The modern administrative systems are huge bureaucratic mechanisms, defined by hierarchy, continuity, impersonality and expertize. There are multiple power games that operate within those systems, and that attenuate the mechanical and rational functionning of the government. When it takes the executive’s place, the administration becomes an independent bureaucracy, out of control and capable of undermining or even blocking the political initiatives of the government.
