“…These are “epistemic communities”—networks of like‐minded professionals who possess knowledge and competence in a particular public domain (Haas, 1992). Bureaucrats acting on behalf of their epistemic communities to promote specific public policies seek to “influence from within”—that is, use their advantages over politicians in expert knowledge, framing of policy problems and solutions, and networks of policy makers as leverages in steering the policy process (Lebel, 2014; Lebel & Ben‐Hador, 2019).…”

Why do some ethnic nation‐states employ simultaneously inconsistent policies toward ethnic minorities, accommodating them in one sphere but excluding them from another? This article argues that this incoherent treatment of minorities results from the delegation of authority to bureaucrats. Building on the principal‐agent approach and nationalism scholarship, this work develops a causal mechanism explaining the conditions under which bureaucrats can shift state policies toward ethnic minorities and the types of policy preferences they seek to materialize. Defining policy problems, strategically framing optimal solutions, and building support for policy initiatives are the mechanisms through which nonelected officials challenge the existing status quo and seek to shift state policies toward ethnic minorities. This theoretical framework is applied to education and land policies in Israel vis‐à‐vis the Palestinian Arab citizens to illustrate how entrepreneurial bureaucrats can bring about diverse policy outcomes toward the same minority.
