This book challenges the conventional wisdom that government
bureaucrats inevitably seek secrecy and demonstrates how and when
participatory bureaucracy manages the enduring tension between
bureaucratic administration and democratic accountability. Looking
closely at federal level public participation in pharmaceutical
regulation and educational assessments within the context of the
vast system of American federal advisory committees, this book
demonstrates that participatory bureaucracy supports bureaucratic
administration in ways consistent with democratic accountability
when it focuses on complex tasks and engages diverse expertise. In
these conditions, public participation can help produce better
policy outcomes, such as safer prescription drugs. Instead of
bureaucracy's opposite or alternative, public participation can
work as its complement.
