Public administration is under increasing pressure to become more
efficient, better geared to the demands and opinions of citizens,
more open to contacts with transnational bureaucracies, and more
responsive to the ideas of elected policymakers. Bureaucracy in the
Modern State offers a comparative analysis of how these challenges
affect public administration in France, the United States, Germany,
Japan, Britain, Sweden and the developing countries of the Third
World. Specialist chapters written by acknowledged experts on the
public policy of each country are brought together in a comparative
framework in order to assess the impact of recent changes on the
relationship between policy makers and the civil service, and the
organizational challenges presented by the introduction of
market-based ideology. Assessing public administration from a
state-society perspective, the authors focus on four basic factors
which they believe determine the role of the bureaucracy in modern
societies: the configuration of the state, the relationship between
policymakers and the bureaucracy, the internal organizational
dynamics of the bureaucracy, and the relationship between the
public bureaucracy and civil society. A special analysis of the
relationship between domestic and transnational bureaucracies is
also included, with particular reference made to the European
Union. Addressing one of the key public policy issues of our time,
this book will be widely used by teachers, students and researchers
who will welcome the combination of in-depth studies of selected
countries, from capitalist democracies to developing countries,
with an authoritative comparative analysis held together by a
distinct theoretical framework.
