"Professor Samuel Krislov's 'Representative Bureaucracy' remains
among the most important and enduring books in the field of public
administration and its intersection with political science. It
takes the kernel of the idea, inchoately introduced in J. Donald
Kingsley's 1944 book by the same title, that public bureaucracies
can be representative political institutions and it develops an
overall analytic framework with empirically testable propositions
that has served subsequent generations scholars very well. So well,
in fact, that as the literature on representative bureaucracy
blossomed, these propositions have become so ingrained that many
younger scholars are unaware of their initial formulation and
roots. That is one reason why the republication of this volume now
is not only appropriate, but a critical step toward more tightly
organizing the vast literature that it arguably spawned into a
comprehensive empirically-based theory integrating all facets of
the study of representative bureaucracy." - David H. Rosenbloom,
Distinguished Professor of Public Administration, American
University (from the new Foreword) *** Now available for the first
time in hardcover edition, republished from the original classic
and using embedded images from the original as well-allowing

Books bring this important work back to print, and in
