Abstract

Conflict within and between groups is a pervasive part of bureaucratic political life. Bureaucratic structures divide individuals into groups such as agencies, departments, bureaus, and committees. These structures are optimal for accomplishing complex tasks with broad implications. The interests, however, of such groups and their individual members are rarely perfectly aligned, so the same interdependence that facilitates productivity in bureaucratic settings also makes conflict inevitable.
