Abstract
“Guerrilla government” is Rosemary O’Leary’s term for public servants who work against the wishes—either implicitly or explicitly communicated—of their superiors in order to do what they think is right. This form of dissent is usually carried out by those who are dissatisfied with the actions of public organizations, programs, or people, but typically, for strategic reasons, choose not to go public with their concerns in whole or in part. She compares the cases of Chelsea Manning, an Army private, and Edward Snowden, a contract employee with the National Security Administration (NSA), with previous cases of guerrilla government. O’Leary hypothesizes that big data, hyper social media, and contracting-out will increase the incidence of guerrilla government, as will President Trump’s efforts to control the federal bureaucracy.
