La burocratización
Example: La burocratización excesiva ralentizó el progreso del gobierno colonial.
Definition
"La burocratización" refers to the process by which an organization or government becomes increasingly governed by rigid rules, procedures, and administrative systems, often leading to slower decision-making and reduced efficiency, as seen in the excessive bureaucratization that slowed colonial government progress.
Etymology
The word "la burocratización" comes from the Spanish term 'burocracia', itself derived from the French 'bureaucratie', combining 'bureau' (office) and the Greek-derived suffix '-cratie' (power or rule). The suffix '-ización' indicates the process of becoming or making, so "la burocratización" literally means the process of becoming bureaucratic.
