Created by elected leaders and are charged with carrying out specified goals. Leaders of bureaucracies are generally put in place by elected officials. Hiring and firing of members are done at the bureaucratic level. Well working bureaucracies accomplish the goals of the elected officials: Ex: epa and the clean air act pre 2017. Failing bureaucracies do not accomplish the goals of the elected officials. Ex: epa and the clean air act post 2017. The creation of and major changes to bureaucracies are rare.
