- catalog abstract ""This book discusses the central role of bureaucratic representation as a key vehicle for representing the general interests of most citizens in a way that is consistently superior to electoral systems in representative democracies, particularly large states. The author argues that formal elections remain indispensable, but bureaucracies have used their expertise and continuity, combined with social policies like affirmative action, to achieve responsible discretion and creative implementation. It draws from North-American and West-European examples."--Jacket.".
