"Charles Goodsell has long taken the position that U.S. bureaucracy is neither a generalized failure nor sinkhole of waste as mythologized by anti-government ideologues. Rather, it is one of the most effective and innovate sets of administrative institutions of any government in the world today. Indispensable to our democracy, it keeps government reliable and dependable to the citizens it serves. However, The New Case for Bureaucracy goe ..."

The Carter and Reagan administrations initiated a policy of `bureaucrat bashing'. It was in response to this that Wamsley organized the Blacksburg Conference, an academic meeting with the sole purpose of analyzing the present and future development of public admin ..."
