title = "Political control or legitimacy deficit?: Bureaucracies' symbolic responses to bottom-up public pressures",
abstract = "A large body of public administration literature focuses on the response of bureaucracies – whether government ministries or separate agencies – to political signalling, pressure and control. Building on principal–agent theory, this literature demonstrates politicians{\textquoteright} direct and indirect control over bureaucratic behaviour (for example, Moe, 1984; Wood and Waterman, 1991; Epstein and O{\textquoteright}Halloran, 1999; Huber et al, 2001; West and Raso, 2013). Yet public bureaucracies are exposed not only to top-down political control, but also, increasingly, to direct bottom-up public pressure in the form of public opinion shifts and social protest.",
