Structure and discretion of the bureaucracy is determined by politics

Structure and discretion of the bureaucracy is determined by politics   Order Description   Question: Several scholars argue that the structure and discretion of the bureaucracy are determined by politics. Briefly describe the readings that make this argument and discuss the implications of this argument for whether we should expect that the bureaucracy will be responsive to elected officials. What implications does the presence of political appointees have for democratic governance, responsiveness, effectiveness, and equity? Assess the state of knowledge in public administration about the impact of political appointees. Requirements: Make sure you answer the question rather than copying texts from the textbooks and articles. Each answer should be about 3-4 typewritten pages (12 font, times new roman, 1.5 spacing). The essay should be your articulate thoughts based on all the readings we have covered. You do not have to use extra reading materials.
