Hey guys, just a quick question for you.

How do you express the idea "____ for the sake of ______".  Like "punishment for the sake of punishment" or "punishment for punishment's sake"?  The specific phrase I'm looking for is "bureaucracy for bureaucracy's sake".  I'm sure a samyi goes in there somewhere, but I'm not quite sure.

Thanks!
