Is American bureaucracy an immobilized Gulliver or a regenerative phoenix? reconsidering the alleged demise of federal bureaucratic power 1995 p.322-60 Nov "Over the past quarter century, federal bureaucracies have been affected by numerous changes - many of which were designed to restrict bureaucratic autonomy. Several scholars have concluded that bureaucracy's role in the process of governance has been substantially diminished. When the changes are closely inspected, however, most - including the proliferation of political appointees - prove not to be as effective at restraining bureaucracy as often supposed. Also, because many restrictions interact with others, they are not really summative; sometimes they cancel each other out" Civil service - United States Bureaucracy Administration and Society 30204 30204 30204 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 27, Issue no: 3 AR30350 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
