abstract:Bureaucratic drift in American political science is a theory that seeks to explain the tendency for bureaucratic agencies to create policy that deviates from the original mandate. The difference between a bureaucracy's enactment of a law and the legislature's intent is called bureaucratic drift.
By doing so, they have made once-unthinkable governance paradigms viable alternatives to the era of bureaucraticdrift and the political Frankenstein of large combo utilities and multi-layered regulators that benefit from it.
It may push America into realising that the system has become an absurdity, the result of inertia, drift and bureaucratic empire-building rather than a cool assessment of the government's current needs.
