Abstract

The project aims to investigate the relationship between bureaucrats and interest groups. The methodology includes an integrative literature review and a comparative study. Through the literature review, I will select cases for the comparative analysis, in which I will conduct surveys and in-depth interviews with bureaucrats to identify their political connections. The goal is to verify if interest groups try to orientate the appointments of non-elected officers. (AU)
