Förlagets beskrivning
In the context of American politics, this volume seeks to dispel two
powerful "myths of bureaucracy": the belief that the federal bureaucracy is
unresponsive to government and the belief that democracy itself is imperiled by
an out-of-control bureaucratic process. The authors contend that the process is
in fact a highly dynamic and democratic one. Offering case studies and
well-paired figures and tables (presented in both technical and non-technical
fashion), the book uses principal-agent theory to explain how the public policy
system works. High-profile cases of eight federal agencies from the EPA to the
FDA and discussions of major legislation, such as the Clean Air Act, help the
authors provide a new perspective on the overall bureaucratic process for
students, for professionals of the bureaucracy, public policy, administration,
and government regulation. In the context of American politics, this volume seeks to dispel the belief
that the federal bureaucracy is unresponsive to government and that democracy
itself is imperiled by an out-of-control bureaucratic process. It contends that
the process is in fact a highly dynamic and democratic one.
