THE RATIONAL FOUNDATIONS OF BUREAUCRATIC BEHAVIOR

ABSTRACT. In the present paper, I focus on the significance of bureaucratic administration to modern governance, the significance of bureaucratic rulemaking, and the nature of the relationship between contemporary bureaucracy and democracy. The current study has extended past research by elucidating the tension between bureaucracy and democracy, the actual organization and practice of public bureaucracies, and Weber’s theory of rationalization. pp. 126–131
