We analysed to what extent these Asian countries’ bureaucracy represent the country’s huge demographic diversity. Secondly, we analyse to what extent the civil service has become trustworthy and legitimate. Our findings suggest that at the entry level of bureaucracy, a slow revolution is taking place in terms of increased gender and ethnic representativeness. Despite this slow revolution, the bureaucracy has not gained citizens’ confidence.
