Using the classification scheme of Ferrel Heady, the report outlines possible links between regime type and bureaucratic behavior. To test these links, a comparative study of bureaucrats in local government in Norway and Tanzania was conducted during autumn 1993/winter 1994. A questionnaire was used to tap attitudes and behaviours of bureaucrats. In short we found that Norwegian bureaucrats seemed to be less technocratic than their Tanzanian counterparts. Additionally, we found that bureaucrats in both regimes acted independently of politicians, but in different phases of the policy making process. Norwegian bureaucrats tended to act more autonomously in the preparatory phases, while Tanzanian bureaucrats tended to act more autonomously in the implementing phase. These findings indicate that bureaucrats in both regimes act as independent political actors, but in a different fashion.
