Abstract: Although it has been recognized that the develop mental process places many new requirements on the official of the developing country, there has been relatively little investi gation of how the relationship between national authority and the emergent citizen may affect the role of the administrator. Using a typology suggested by Professor Apter, the article com pares how a modernizing autocracy (Morocco), a mobilization regime (Tunisia), and a reconciliation regime (Pakistan) differ in bringing influence to bear on the administrator through the political system. The thesis is advanced that rapid change will not be possible unless administrative reorientation is encour aged by the direct impact of the citizen on the bureaucracy, and that political systems vary widely in their capacity to generate and focus such pressures.
