Abstract

Do street-level bureaucrats exercise discretion to encourage clients’ political participation? If so, how, and in what way is it demonstrated? This study examines these questions empirically through 36 semi-structured in-depth interviews with LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer) teachers in Israel. Findings reveal that these street-level bureaucrats encourage clients to participate politically through strategies they adopt both inside and outside the work environment. In the classroom their lessons contain political content and expressions of political protest. Outside school they employ digital media to influence students. Clients’ political participation is manifested both jointly with street-level bureaucrats and independently of them.

街头官僚如何行使自由裁量权来鼓励客户的政治参与：以色列LGBTQ+教师的案例研究

街道级别的官僚是否行使自由裁量权来鼓励客户的政治参与？如果是，如何以及以何种方式证明？本研究通过对以色列LGBTQ+（女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者和酷儿）教师的36次半结构化深入访谈，实证检验了这些问题。调查结果显示，这些街头官僚通过在工作环境内外采取的策略鼓励客户参与政治。在课堂上，他们的课程包含政治内容和政治抗议的表达。在校外，他们使用数字媒体来影响学生。客户的政治参与既表现为与街道层面的官僚共同参与，也表现为独立于他们。
