Why"Freedom":Understanding the Discretion of Street-Level Bureaucrats——An Integrated Framework at the Meso Level
The development of street-level bureaucracy theory requires the integration of mi-cro and macro research.This paper constructs an integrated framework of power elements based on the perspective of interactionism to discuss the generation,operation,and transformation logic of discretionary power.The study finds that the element system is shaped by the interaction of power scenarios and power relations.The power foundation generated at the boundary is strengthened in asymmetric games,empowering power methods,and reacting on various ele-ments in the system,thus promoting the operation and renewal of the system.This framework may provide analytical tools to connect micro and macro research and further explore the theoreti-cal implications and research topics of street-level bureaucracy politics.
