BOOK SUMMARY
This introduction to the historical development, nature, organisation and role of the British Civil Service provides an insight into the importance of a key institution which lies at the heart of the system of government and politics.
BOOK SYNOPSIS
This comprehensively revised replacement volume for Robert Pyper's popular text The British Civil Service explains and assesses the impact on the civil service of the historic Whitehall unitary model, the New Public Management of Thatcher and Major and the modernisation agenda of the Blair government. It provides a broad-ranging introduction to the civil service today and of the demands and pressures it faces from political leaders, policy-makers and citizen-users within the multi-governmental context of devolution and EU membership.
