This volume confronts one of the most central issues in the study
and practice of bureaucracy. Questions about representativeness of
public institutions raises key issues about legitimacy, especially
in contexts characterised by ethnic diversity and cleavages.
Debates are shaped by normatively informed positions that contrasts
those in favour of representativeness with those who point to
limitations and side-effects. This volume offers a set of important
contributions to these debates by linking the long-standing debates
about representative bureaucracy with an impressive range of
country studies. This volume is a fundamental contribution to the
theme of representative bureaucracy.' - Martin Lodge, London School
of Economics, UKThe book explores one of the most topical issues of
public bureaucracies worldwide: the relationship between the
composition of the public sector workforce and the nature of the
society it serves. Taking a comparative and analytical perspective,
the authoritatively, yet accessibly written, country chapters show
how salient the politics of representativeness have become in
increasingly diverse societies. At the same time, they illustrate
the wide variety of practice based on different political systems,
administrative structures, and cultural settings. Providing
comprehensive up-to-date information and analysis, these studies
will interest scholars and practitioners alike, from comparative
public administration and management, government, public policy,
and diversity studies. Contributors: R. Andrews, R. Cameron, G.
