- W4238299148 abstract "Chapter 3 focuses on the administration of empire, from the Colonial Office in London to the experiences of governors and civil servants around the globe, whose lives were increasingly dominated by tedious meetings and dull dispatches. It shows that the empire became more bureaucratic during the nineteenth century, as the British implemented a system of centralized administrative rule that sheds light on the origins of Weber’s modern bureaucratic state. The volume of paperwork grew dramatically, and high-level officials, who relished the leisured lifestyle that characterized the aristocratic ideal, complained regularly about the quantity of deskwork and the frequency of ritualized public duties. Moreover, there were increasing numbers of officials who had to work in remote locations performing menial tasks. This chapter thus challenges the “great man” view of history, highlighting the limits on individual action and the impact of bureaucratization on administrators’ sense of mission." @default.
