520			_aThe political-bureaucratic interface has been the subject of much academic interest. However, research has tended to focus exclusively on wealthy institutionalized democracies, with little attention given to the political-administrative relationship in developing countries. However, recent evidence from reform processes in poorer nations increasingly highlights the importance of interactions between politicians and bureaucrats. This paper provides a systematic overview of the political-bureaucratic relationship in developing countries and in doing so makes two key contributions. First, it introduces a typology of political-bureaucratic relations based on four models-collaborative, collusive, intrusive, and integrated-discussing examples of each. Second, it analyses the main factors associated with different models of political-bureaucratic relations and considers how countries can move from one model of relations to another. The paper provides a much-needed entry point for scholars and policymakers to better understanding the relationship between politicians and bureaucrats in developing countries. - Reproduced.
