Ironically, one of the implications of other work on bureaucratic politics is that Allison’s Model III was, if anything, too limited in scope rather than too ambitious. In particular, Allison’s framework left important organizational issues underdeveloped, and, like the majority of the studies the framework sought to synthesize, it was almost exclusively focused on the executive branch. As some scholars were to make clear, bureaucratic politics is not confined to bargaining games within the executive branch; it is a fundamental component of a broad power structure that includes Congress, the courts, organized interest groups, intergovernmental relationships, and the public at large. The nature and context of this power structure, and the role and relative influence of bureaucracies within it, are heavily dependent upon organizational issues. How bureaucracies are organized has been persuasively argued to play an important role in determining how power is distributed among various actors within the political system and in explaining how bureaucracies influence policymaking.
