Bureaucratic Power: Security and the National Response Plan

Author

  • Barbara Neuby

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
