Abstract

This paper describes how the bureaucratic violence is used and why this violence is compatible with democracy and becomes a strategy to manage the social conflict. In this article, bureaucratic violence is not understood as every kind of violence executed by the administration but as the use of bureaucratic mechanisms in order to block, minimize or suppress all types of protest or confrontation, including the political ones. This paper examines as well the notion of bureaurepression, an active strategy which uses bureaucratic mechanisms in order to restrict the use of public space.
