Unit 2 – Branches of Government
Topic 2.12
How did the Cold War impact the structure and function of United States bureaucratic institutions?
The Cold War caused a decentralization within U.S bureaucratic structures as part of disinformation strategies against opponents.
It led to a significant expansion in defense-related bureaus and intelligence agencies like CIA & DOD.
It resulted in downsizing of federal bureaucracies since focus shifted towards military interventions rather than domestic affairs.
The Cold War had negligible effect on both structure and function of United States bureaucratic institutions.
