Content: In general terms, all public administration can be reduced to the systemic “rationalization” of coercion. Without bureaucracy of even the most rudimentary type, law becomes one of two things: It is mere arbitrary violence, or words on paper. The bureaucracy or administration of public life “continues” or “extends” that life even if its leaders disappear. If the president and all his cabinet ministers were to vaporize tomorrow, nothing would change in the short or medium term because the bureaucracy is in charge of administering and maintaining the law, not politicians. Change
If the governing authorities in either the public or private sector want to see something change, the bureaucracy is in charge of overseeing it. For example, if the public authorities want more improvements in infrastructure, then the various public works agencies would be empowered to put these policies into action. They would hire new people, channel the tax money, approve overtime hours, buy new equipment and see that all regulations were followed in these construction projects. The town mayor can't personally be in charge of all these things himself, so an agency is empowered to do it for him. ‒‒:‒‒
