I might be wrong but...older theories of governance tended to remove the agency of bureaucrats because the narrative of governance was a dialectic between the public and elected leadership. Newer theories of governance - 1970s for history/sociology, 2000s for the dimwit branches of academia like political science - focus on the third plank of government: the bureaucracy, whose politics transcend the clean boundaries of political transitions. Because the public and the press are notoriously slow minded, they're only now cottoning to idea that career bureaucrats aren't just beep boop yes sir robots, but are interested in maintaining the embedded ideology of government itself. Since this is new thinking to such people, naturally it's a spooky conspiracy and not just how any large organisation deals with top-down conflict with the middle management.
