Red Tape and Social System

Authors: Shoichi Nakamura;

Red Tape and Social System

Abstract

Max Weber recognized the phenomenon of bureaucratization as the inevitable destiny in a modern society, but he also knew well that the social and economic significance of that structure changes in its quality under the concrete historical situations.He, however, gave so high an application to the technical excellency of bureaucracy that he understood the legal government of bureaucracy as a pression machinery which could serve the politico-economic interests of heterogeneous kinds, as if it being beyond control of socio-economic system.The connection between the bureaucracy and the historical situations of politics and economics was understood in such a way that the bureaucratic structure, which as itself have the same structure and function under all conditions, could be utilized by the different masters.The bureaucracy as a model of social technology, however, changes in its internal quality according to the socio-economic system in which it is situated.We can point out the same tendency about Red Tape' considered as one side of the dysfunctions of bureaucracy.The bureaucracy, organized in a socio-economic system in capitalism is now being exposed to the hostile opposition and anxiety.The bureaucratic organization filled with hostility and anxiety makes its dysfunction proliferous among the bureaucrats, and in that result they are inclined to take organizational means for an aim itself.By the help of demonstrative studies done by P. M. Blan, A. W. Gouldner and others, I proceed with my study on the relations between the dysfunction of bureaucracy and socio-economic system which R. K. Merton left unfinished in his brilliant analysis of 'Bureaucratic Structure and Personality'.
