Bureaucracy and Democracy

Accountability and Performance 3E

William T. Gormley Jr. and Steven J. Balla

Drawing on concepts and studies from political science and public management, Gormley (government and public policy, Georgetown U.) and Balla (political science and international affairs, Georgetown U.) explore the issues of bureaucratic accountability and performance in the United States. The topic is approached from the perspectives of bounded rationality, principal-agent theory, interest group mobilization, and network theory. Examples are taken from federal, state, and local levels of government. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
