Drawing on the longstanding academic literature on neutral competence and interviews with the bureaucrats themselves, this book adds insight to the academic question of the role of bureaucrats in a democratic system after a four-year period in which their role has been questioned and threatened as never before. Focusing on the elite agencies of the Office of Management and Budget, the Congressional Budget Office, the Government Accountability Office, as well as the Economic Research Service at the Department of Agriculture, the chapters evaluate individual experiences of members of each agency during the Trump presidency through the lens of the growing tension between politics and administration. Enlightening the role that bureaucrats play in American democracy in an era when polarization is on the rise and disputes over the role of the civil service are growing, this volume will be of interest to scholars and students in public policy, political science, and public administration as well as policymakers and members of the US federal government workforce. 606 $aAmerica$xPolitics and government 606 $aExecutive power 606 $aPublic administration 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aAmerican Politics 606 $aExecutive Politics 606 $aPublic Administration 606 $aGovernance and Government 615 0$aAmerica$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aExecutive power. 615 0$aPublic administration. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 14$aAmerican Politics. 615 24$aExecutive Politics. 615 24$aPublic Administration. 615 24$aGovernance and Government. 676 $a302.35 676 $a973.933 700 $aShapiro$b Stuart$g(Stuart Orin),$050526 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910647387103321 996 $aTrump and the Bureaucrats$93009695 997 $aUNINA
