Hello. My name is Alexandra Estes and one day I hope to be a lobbyist advocating for human rights.

Article: "Marcinowo, Lower Silesian Voivodeship"[edit]

I clicked random article and found an article about a town. How they could edit this article is by adding more information about this region instead of just where it is located. Adding if there is any history about the town or the population would help any reader to understand more about this town. I definitely would have to find another source if I were to do a project based on the subject of this article.

Annotated Bibliography[edit]

Bradbury, M. D., & Kellough, J. E. (2008). Representative Bureaucracy: Exploring the Potential for Active Representation in Local Government. Journal Of Public Administration Research & Theory, 18(4), 697-714.

In this article, Bradbury and Kellough introduce the idea of representative bureaucracy to readers. The article describes ways that this type of representation benefited communities of different sizes. The authors also put to rest some misconceptions that people may have about representative bureaucracy. The article goes into great detail about how representative bureaucracy should be a tool used to even out the demographics within the workforce and to have equal representation of all groups within a governing system. The article also has a great section that discusses the potential and doors that representative democracy could open up to those who possibly engage in it.

Grissom, J. A., Nicholson-Crotty, J., & Nicholson-Crotty, S. (2009). Race, Region, and Representative Bureaucracy. Public Administration Review, 69(5), 911-919. doi:10.1111/j.1540-6210.2009.02040.x

This article, as the title suggests, gives useful information on the effects that representative bureaucracy could have on different demographics, races, and religions that are associated with people. This would be particularly useful to our group if we included a "Effects on Society" section in our revision of the original article. The authors included a section that discussed tests made on different regions that would be useful examples when discussing the effects that this form of representation could potentially have. Also included in this article, are tables and graphs that graphically represent some of the data when they tested the impact of representative bureaucracy. This article could be really beneficial with the examples listed to have evidence backing up whatever points are made.

Esman, M. J. (1999). Public administration and conflict management in plural societies: the case for representative bureaucracy.Public Administration & Development, 19(4), 353-366.

This article argues that representative bureaucracy will cut down workplace competition, citizens disappointment with bureaucratic employees, and also distrust that a certain group may have of bureaucrats. Esman includes instructions on how a government entity should effectively implement this form of bureaucracy. The author also argues that the major problem with systems that do not implement representative bureaucracy is ethnic conflict. Esme discusses ways that representative bureaucracy could prevent this from happening and mentions that one way is each ethnic group would be represented. All ethnic groups being represented would drive conflict arising situations away and allow for representatives of the same ethnic group make things feel more comforting. This article would be of use to my group because it explains what implementation looks like and we could include that in our article.

Naff, K. C. (1995). Perceptions of discrimination: Moving beyond the numbers of representative bureaucracy. Policy Studies Journal,23(3), 483-498. doi:10.1111/1541-0072.ep9602282648

This article explored different options to reduce employment discrimination and compared them to representative bureaucracy This could be beneficial to our article because we can use the comparisons to describe strengths found in this form of bureaucracy in the edits we make to the article. Naff includes research that was found in several different time periods that are also beneficial to any comparisons made which we could use to back up any points that we could possibly make. Another thing the author did was explain ways organizations could be discriminating but may not realize they are doing it. Naff does this to show that what a HR person may believe or feel is discrimination may be different to the person sitting in the interview seat.

SUBRAMANIAM, V. (1967). Representative bureaucracy: a reassessment. American Political Science Review, 611010-1019.

This article explores ways that representative bureaucracy may be misunderstood. The author goes into great detail debunking ideas and misconceptions that people may have about representative bureaucracy hoping that they will reassess how they feel about it. The author also goes into great detail about different performance evaluation methods and how they are affected by representative bureaucracy.The author describes the effects on the workforce, which could possibly be a good section to add to the existing paragraph on the original Wikipedia article. This article could help to add a new section or possibly reaffirm an existing one.
