  • More about Public Administration and Democracy: The Complementarity Principle

The Element argues for a complementarity principle in public administration, emphasizing value-congruity and democratic values. It assesses collaborative governance, representative bureaucracy, and participatory policymaking in light of these values, demonstrating how the principle facilitates administrative responsibility.

Format: Paperback / softback

Publisher: Cambridge University Press


The Element advocates for a complementarity principle, which suggests that governance values should align with political values to shape the structures and procedures of public administration. It emphasizes the importance of value congruity within the complementarity principle for ensuring administrative responsibility. It identifies several core democratic values and critically evaluates systems of collaborative governance, representative bureaucracy, and participatory policymaking in relation to these values. The Element demonstrates that by applying the complementarity principle to these diverse designs, it enhances administrative responsibility by making the structures themselves more consistent with democratic principles while preserving their intended objectives. Additionally, this title is accessible as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
