Democracy and Bureaucracy II

Abstract

This panel addresses the relationship between democracy and bureaucracy, which is a long-standing theme with renewed significance in scholarly research. Whereas some approaches consider bureaucracy as subordinated to democracy, others consider bureaucracy as a fundamental institution of democratic governance. The panel invites conceptual and empirical papers addressing the role of bureaucracy in sustaining (or damaging) trust in political institutions, the implications of populist politics and democratic backsliding for bureaucracies, or the allocation of democratic responsibility in increasingly organizational structures.
