About this book

In uneasy partnership at the helm of the modern state stand elected party politicians and professional bureaucrats. This book is the first comprehensive comparison of these two powerful elites.

Reviews

This study is among the best of its kind. Indeed, few studies can equal it in the dexterity with which the data are handled. It is a serious book that will be of interest to students of comparative politics, of administration, of elites, of political culture, and of methodology. In short it is a very fine example of comparative survey research.
