MODEL HUBUNGAN ANTARA BIROKRASI DAN POLITISI DI INDONESIA

Abstract

Bureaucracy plays an important role in the formulation, imple­men­tation and monitoring of public policies, as well as in the evaluation of their own performance. In this strategic position, there is always an effort to attract the bureaucracy in the politi­cal game area. Bureaucracy used to attain, maintain, or streng­then the power. There are three models to describe the relation­ship of bureaucracy and politicians: the relationship where the govern­ment/executive’ power is dominant that it could dicta­te the legislative/political/parliamentary, the rela­tion­ship which the legis­lators and politicians have always cross­ed into the realm of the executive and impose their will, and the there­lationship which the executive and legislative branches tend to look for a balanced position. Therefore, the government bureau­cra­cy both directly or indirectly related to political interest groups.
