For all their pride in being "citizens" rather than "subjects," Americans hanker for the firm smack of command from a monocratic sovereign.
Governance is often now said to be 'pluricentric rather than unicentric;' consist of inter- or intra- organisational networks in which hierarchy or monocratic leadership may be limited or absent; referred to in terms of processes or functions of governing rather than structures of government; and can also prescribe a normative ideal as well as an empirical reality.
Principles such as the necessity of rules, files, monocratic hierarchy, division of labor, continuous organization, salaries, professional staff, and so on, as described by Weber, seem obvious and commonplace to us now, but only because of his pioneering observations when the generic characteristics of emerging bureaucracies were not obvious.
