商品簡介
This textbook on the least visible branch of the American government has been designed by Meier (Texas A&M U.) and Bohte (U. of Wisconsin-Milwaukee) both to introduce students to the topic and to serve as a reference for scholars of politics to the current status of empirical research on bureaucracy. This new edition has been rewritten and updated to account for changes in the field, but retains the same general structure, with chapters on bureaucracy and politics, the structure of American bureaucracy, bureaucratic power and its causes, bureaucracy and the public's expectations, controlling the bureaucracy, controlling bureaucracy, and reforming the bureaucracy.
