The book provides detailed analysis of the structure and operation
of the British Civil Service along with a historically grounded
account of its development in the period from Margaret Thatcher to
the Tony Blair premiership. It assesses continuity and change in
the civil service during a period of deep transformation using new
archive files, government and parliament reports, primary and
secondary legislation. The author takes the evolutionary change of
the civil service as a central theme and examines the friction
between new managerial practices introduced by government in the
80s and 90s and the administrative traditions rooted in the history
of this institution. In particular the author assesses the impact
of the New Public Management agenda of the Thatcher and Major years
its enhanced continuity during the Blair years. Further changes
that involved ministerial responsibility, codification, performance
management, special advisers and constitutional conventions are
analyzed in the conclusions.
