Bureaucratic Representation

Bureaucratic representation refers to the way government agencies and officials act on behalf of the public's interests by implementing laws, policies, and services. Instead of direct elected representation, bureaucrats—civil servants and administrators—manage day-to-day operations to ensure government functions effectively and fairly. Their role is to interpret and apply laws in a consistent manner, ensuring that diverse needs are addressed. This form of representation emphasizes expertise, professionalism, and neutrality, helping translate political decisions into practical action that benefits society as a whole.
