Résumé anglais Representative Bureaucracy. Following J. D. Kingsley's work in the 1940s, the authors trace the origins and development of the concept of representative bureaucracy in the United States. The concept suggests that a civil service which reflects the composition of society is conducive to increased practical efficiency and greater democratic legitimacy. There are two versions of this theory : one emphasises the civil service's social make-up, and notably how this affects administrative decision-making to varying degrees, and the other is more concerned with the mechanisms enabling citizens to be involved in administrative action, such as negotiated rulemaking and advisory committees.
