Abstract
Max Weber was the first to systematically theorise about the nexus between the political and administrative sphere of public bureaucracies. He predicted that bureaucratisation would remain a defining feature of our societies - as long as industrial transformation and division of labour progressed. However, Max Weber and the twentieth-century public administration theorists following him focused exclusively on administrative developments within nation states.
