The absurdity of bureaucracy offers a humorous ethnographic account
of policy implementation set in contemporary Danish bureaucracy.
Taking the reader deep into the hallways of governmental
administration and municipal caseworkers' offices, the book sets
out to explore what characterizes policy implementation as a mode
of human agency. Using the notions of absurdity and sense-making as
lenses through which to explore the dynamic relationship between a
policy and its effects, the book reclaims 'implementation studies'
for the qualitative sciences and emphasizes the existential dilemma
that any policymaker and implementer must confront. Following
step-by-step the planning and implementation of the randomized
controlled trial, Active - Back Sooner, the book sets out to show
that 'going wrong' is not a question of implementation failure but
is in fact the only way in which implementation may happen. -- .
