Abstract
As part of my SIP experience, I had the good fortune
to obtain an internship with the Director's Office of the
Peace Corps in Washington, D.C. It was there that this
project began. One of my duties was to assist in the
establishment of a new Peace Corps Advisory Council. Through
this aspect of my job, I gained invaluable knowledge and
insight about the inner workings of bureaucratic government,
especially in relation to the formation of an advisory
council. If the advisory council
process cannot be used to make the bureaucracy more democratic,
does it have any use at all? Should the process
be allowed to continue? In the following chapters these
questions will be discussed in more detail. The importance
of this chapter is to point out that the advisory council
cannot live up to its ideals. Once we drop this facade, perhaps we can strive to make the process a viable and useful one.
