Unlike most public servants, top administrators – those who
manage thousands of personnel and oversee millions of dollars in
public spending – are appointed by the head of government. At the
Pleasure of the Crown is a detailed exploration of this central but
overlooked aspect of governing. Christopher A. Cooper analyzes the
appointment of deputy ministers in Canada’s provincial
bureaucracies over the last century, as governments have looked
first for partisan loyalty, then candid advice, and ultimately
feverish devotion to the policy agenda. Throughout, turnover among
bureaucratic elites has remained highly political, with important
consequences for the integrity of Canadian public institutions.
