Reluctant Bureaucracy: Accounts, Narrative, and Negotiation in Serbian High School Classrooms
Despite anthropologists' increased interest in bureaucracies, the pervasive role of talk for resolving policy-practice gaps and structuring citizen-bureaucrat encounters has been underanalyzed in the literature on the everyday practices of the state.
