Bureaucratic Power: Security and the National Response Plan

Barbara Neuby ()

Public Organization Review, 2006, vol. 6, issue 4, 317-328

Abstract: The National Response Plan was created by the Department of Homeland Security for the purpose of organizing disaster relief services by coordinating activities of cabinet departments and independent agencies. A case study of the Plan's creation shows that the Department has skillfully used its sources of administrative power to build a latent control network with little or no oversight, raising questions of accountability and ultimate security. Variables discussed here promote building of a theory of bureaucratic power. Copyright Springer Science + Business Media, Inc. 2006
