The theory of representative bureaucracy has gone through a series of major reformulations in the past ten years supplemented with an additional 120 empirical manuscripts published or presented in the last five. This lecture will use the new theories to sketch an empirical agenda for representative bureaucracy focusing on behavioral choices, contextual influences, cross-national generalization, the interrelationship of symbolic and active representation, and the meaning of representation.

Join us at the Rutgers-Newark campus in the Center for Urban and Public Service on May 4th for this discussion and Q&A with Kenneth Meier, Distinguished Scholar in Residence from American University.
