    Scott MorgensternProfessor of Political ScienceUniversity of Pittsburgh
    Given their role in implementing policy and executive orders, bureaucrats are uniquely positioned to respond to executive overreach. Their attitudes toward democracy, however, have avoided significant scrutiny. This talk thus explores their commitment to democracy using an original survey of nearly 12,000 Latin American bureaucrats. To explain the likelihood of their commitment to democracy, the focus is on technocratic orientation, their alignment with the president, and the level of and change in the country’s democratic context.
