Chapter One BIG DEMOCRACY, BIG BUREAUCRACY
CHAPTER OVERVIEW A discussion of the tradition and context of American public administration sets the tone for the book, focusing on American’s preference for constrained public leadership. The public perception of bureaucracy (pejorative) is juxtaposed with the public’s reliance upon and acceptance of public administrators (favorable). The chapter concludes by defining the paradoxical power of the public administrator, which has developed beyond its cultural, institutional, and legal limits.
