Preferred term

responsiveness of bureaucracy  

Definition

  • Responsiveness is one member of a family of related and positively valued concepts such as responsibility and answerability that have to do with the accountability of bureaucrats. There is, at first glance, generally, little controversy about the proposition that bureaucrats should be responsive to the (elected) politicians or their appointees at the top levels of governments. [Source: International Encyclopedia of Political Science; Responsiveness of Bureaucracy]
