Civil Servants on the Silver Screen

Hollywood's Depiction of Government and Bureaucrats

Produktbeschreibung

This book demonstrates how government bureaucracy is portrayed in the top ten box office grossing films from 2000-2015. Perhaps unsurprisingly, government is generally portrayed poorly, but individual government bureaucrats are typically depicted positively.
