it is not surprising that scholars within
the field of public administration have so far failed to come up
with an adequate theoretical base to explain the relationship
between bureaucracy and representative government. The
changes that have taken place within the American society make
it clear that the problems administrators have to contend with
do not easily fit the existing structure of hierarchy and authority
based structure. Hence, the need to restructure or readjust the
bureaucracy to adapt to new and complex problems becomes
apparent. Unfortunately, there is no consensus regarding how
the restructuring can be done and this issue will remain one of
the hot debates in the field of PA for the coming decades.
