Bureaucracy In Fiction
The term bureaucracy () refers to a body of non-elected governing officials as well as to an administrative policy-making group.

The first dilemma revolves around whether bureaucrats should be autonomous or directly accountable to their political masters. The second dilemma revolves around bureaucrats' behavior strictly following the law or whether they have leeway to determine appropriate solutions for varied circumstances. Various comment ...
