註釋Max Weber's influential understanding of bureaucracy is explored through an examination of the development of officialdom in six European territories: England, Sweden, France, Germany, Spain, and Hungary. Taking a long-term perspective from the ninth century to the present, it looks beyond national institutions and includes officials involved in the provision of goods and services locally. The 'scorecard' is based on expected developments in four key areas of Weber's analysis: the functional differentiation of tasks within government, professionalism, formalism, and monocracy. After discussing the character of officialdom in the ninth, twelfth, fifteenth, eighteenth, and twenty-first centuries, Weber's scorecard appears to have a mixed record, especially weak in its account of the development of monocracy and formalism. The study goes on to set out an account of administrative development based on understanding processes of routinization, institutional integration, and the instrumentalization of law.
