Our subject today is bureaucratic resistance. Bureaucratic resistance occurs when civil servants disobey the orders of elected officials and political appointees. Some kind of bureaucratic shirking is inevitable in modern government, but bureaucratic resistance has been uniquely public during the first two years of the Trump administration.
Today we're joined today by Jennifer Nou, Professor of Law at the University of Chicago Law School and Chris Walker, a Professor of Law at the Ohio State University Moritz College of Law.
This episode was produced by David Sandefer and Chris Walling. Music from bensound.com
