Bureaucratic Capture

Bureaucratic Capture is a systemic failure in public administration wherein a regulatory or bureaucratic agency, while formally operating under the authority of the state, becomes dominated by the interests of the private or specialized groups it is tasked with regulating, thereby subverting its public mandate for the benefit of a narrow constituency.
