Explain the role of shadow bureaucrats in the exercise of modern government.

What will be an ideal response?


In addition to the local, state, and federal bureaucrats, shadow bureaucrats-employees on the payroll of private, for-profit businesses and private nonprofit organizations with government contracts-help complete the business of government at all levels. Through the contracting-out process (also known as outsourcing or privatizing) the government signs work contracts with these organizations to do the work of government, but they do not receive a government paycheck. Shadow bureaucrats help deliver government services.
