  • The Federal Bureaucracy Implementing Policy

    398 Words  | 2 Pages

    The most important thing that the bureaucracy does is implement policy. Congress and the President make the policies and laws, but they have someone else (the bureaucracy) to implement them. However, they also make policy by rule-making (process of defining rules or standards that apply uniformly to classes of individuals, events, and activities). Also, according to Jillson (2016), "Congress passes laws that authorize government programs, the bureaucracy then writes specific rules that define how the program will be administered." So, when the bureaucracy makes rules you have to obey them because they have the force of law.

    They prepare the city’s budget, and after approved by legislature, the central budget office becomes the control (Lynch & Smith, 2008). As the budget process is being formulated and executed in these stages, both departments together, support their combined recommendations to other departments such as the chief executive and legislative policy makers. Political leaders, such as the governor, begin using the budget’s information to execute their goals in either publicizing their approval in funding or reducing programs and activities. All departments hold leverage over one another until the final stages of the budget process. This is mainly because of revenue and expenditures documented with major decisions to allocate funds accordingly in the best form of

  • Lipsky Street-Level Bureaucracy Summary

    In Street-Level Bureaucracy: Dilemmas of the Individual in Public Services, Lipsky defines street-level bureaucrats as the “teachers, police officers and other law enforcement personnel, social workers, judges, public lawyers and other court officers, health workers, and many other public employees who grant access to government programs and provide services within them” (1980, 3). The book provides us with an insight into the everyday life of a street-level bureaucrat and shows their unmistakable role in delivering social services. Lipsky believes policy is best understood when looking at the people at the forefront of the implementation process; those that have to deal with both the government and the public. Overall, I found this book extremely

  • Representative Bureaucracy Analysis

    1794 Words  | 8 Pages

    Sociologist Max Weber’s statement that bureaucracy is the distinctive mark of the modern era clearly describes a bureaucratic type of structure now intrinsic in public sector organizations. This type of structure which has been termed by theorist J. Donald Kingsley (1949) as a "Representative Bureaucracy", basically speaks of public workforces that are representative of the people in terms of race, ethnicity, and gender. In other words, a Representative Bureaucracy, is more or less "an assessment and reconstruction of public sector organizations for the sole purpose of ensuring that all groups in society are equally represented" (Duada, 1990). Thus, in relation to this definition and many other similar constructs, one can clearly see why that
