  • More about Bureaucratic Power, Democracy and Administrative Democracy

This title, originally published in 2001, delves into the diminishing significance of political democracy, exploring the impact of the rise of bureaucratic power. It examines the consequences when influential policy-making positions are no longer dominated by politicians driven by ideological agendas but instead become the domain of bureaucrats devoid of such intentions. Through theoretical and empirical discussions, the author argues that rather than attempting to preserve and adhere to the declining institutional democracy, a new democracy often emerges within the bureaucratic organizations themselves. The book also includes the viewpoint that bureaucrats are a superior elite, with an ideology-free propensity, discussing the efforts to establish a new democracy within administrative or bureaucratic organizations. Additionally, it explores the attempt to find common ground by comparing advanced democratic nations, developing nations, and the post or present communist nations, focusing on bureaucrats as a central theme.
