Bureaucracy is an important administrative structure that plays a significant role in the functioning of modern states. In Comparative Public Administration, bureaucracy is studied as a universal administrative institution that exists in different forms across countries. Max Weber’s concept of bureaucracy highlights a rational, hierarchical and rule-based system designed to ensure efficiency, predictability and stability in administration. One of the major merits of bureaucracy is its efficiency in handling complex administrative tasks. Modern governments deal with large populations, extensive policies and diverse public needs. Bureaucratic organizations provide a systematic approach through division of work, specialization and clear allocation of responsibilities. This enables administrators to perform tasks effectively and achieve organizational goals. Bureaucracy ensures continuity and stability in governance. Political governments may change due to elections or other political processes, but bureaucratic institutions continue to function. Permanent civil servants preserve administrative knowledge, experience and institutional memory, which helps maintain consistency in public policies and programmes. This feature is particularly important in developing countries where administrative stability supports national development. Another important merit of bureaucracy is specialization and expertise. Bureaucrats are generally recruited through competitive examinations
