The central role that bureaucracy plays in the policy process is
played by individuals, namely, by subject matter experts and
managers we call political executives. These executives do not play
their role in a vacuum, of course, but in a context defined by
three key forces-the organizational environment of bureaucracy
itself; our governing philosophy stressing responsiveness, respect
for individual rights, and accountability; and the demands of the
people and the institutions those people have created to govern
themselves. This book explores how these three forces collide and
how the resulting collision shapes the way in which bureaucracy
makes policy, as well as the final product of that policy making
process. It provides an in-depth look at each of these forces, with
chapters specifically devoted to how bureaucrats interpret their
role in the policy process, how the organizational environment
influences their ability to play that role, and, most of all, to
the interactions between bureaucrats and the institutions of what
we call the Constitutional government: the President, the Congress,
and the courts. It does this, all the while reminding us that
fitting bureaucracy into a society that views itself as
self-governing is no easy task.
