The bureaucracy or the public administration constitutes the permanent and professional part of the executive organ of the government. It is generally described as the non-political or politically neutral civil service, permanently and professionally trained.
The administration of the state operates in accordance with the policies and laws of the government's political executive. The quality and efficiency of the state administration depends on the qualities and efficiency of the bureaucracy. However, it functions under the leadership and control of the Political Executive.
Functions of the bureaucracy
The United States bureaucracy serves three main functions to help keep the government beehive buzzing along.
1. The bureaucracy implements the laws and policies of elected officials.
These laws and policies must be put into practice in specific situations and applied in all contingencies of daily life. For example, a city council has decided that all dog owners must have their pets license and microchip, but city council members do not have time to make sure that their decision is made. City workers, members of the city bureaucracy, are the ones who answer questions and complaints about the law, help dog owners fill in the proper forms, decide when to waive the license fee, Refer owners to veterinarians who can insert microchips, veterinarians to deliver discount coupons on microchips, and enforce the law to make sure that all dog owners have their animals licensed and microchip in a reasonable time.
2. The bureaucracy provides the necessary administrative functions, such as conducting examinations, issuing permits and licenses, and collecting fees.
Essentially, it handles the paperwork of daily government operations. Anyone who has a driver's license has faced face-to-face with bureaucratic administration through written and behind-the-wheel examinations, learning permits, fees at all stages and finally applying for and receiving the driver's license. drive.
3. The bureaucracy regulates various governmental activities.
In other words, it creates rules and regulations that clarify how various laws work on a daily basis. For example, the bureaucracy is responsible for drafting rules and regulations for public schools, including curriculum standards, examination procedures, disciplinary methods, teacher training and licensing requirements, and administrative policies. Schoolchildren feel the effects of these regulations when they work on their assignments or take standardized tests. Teachers use them to design classroom work and assessments. Principals and school boards must follow them when applying for funds or establishing policies for their own schools and districts.
