Abstract

The conflict between civil servants and politicians has often been described as the basic problem of modern authorities, for this reason, one must understand and thus research the relationship between these two groups of very influential actors in order to understand the governing process, In modern democracies, civil servants have outgrown their classic role of mere implementers of orders given by politicians. Both civil servants and politicians serve the same democratic state, and both are hews to the same democratic evolution. S argue that based mainly on the historically developed division of labour between bureaucracy and politics civil servants have never been tasked with creating the conditions for more democracy m the state, but instead with creating the conditions for a more effective and successful slate. Given that political bodies in which politicians operate have been established as the institutionalised personification of democracy, the task of politicians is above alt to promote democracy, its values and norms.
