Examining the political and economic forces that have shaped the
civil service system from the Pendleton Act of 1883 through today,
the authors explain why, despite efforts to overhaul the federal
bureaucracy (most recently by Vice President Al Gore), significant
change remains a formidable challenge. Although politicians
criticize the unwieldiness of the bureaucracy, this volume shows
how they have been largely responsible for its design. The authors
examine the development of federal employee interest groups and
their negotiations with the president and Congress over hiring
policies, salaries and conditions for terminating employment. Using
transaction cost analysis and public choice theory, this book aims
to provide a new understanding of the growth of the federal
bureaucracy and the political and economic obstacles to reforming
it.
