Number Ten Downing Street and the Cabinet Office are at the apex of
power in British government, but relatively little is known about
the day to day functioning of these great institutions of state.
With an unprecedented level of access, and wide-ranging interviews
from former ministers, senior civil servants and political
advisers, Patrick Diamond examines the administrative and political
machinery serving the Prime Minister, and considers how it evolved
from the early years of New Labour to the election of the Coalition
Government in 2010. Drawing on previously unpublished material,
Diamond provides a unique analysis which considers the continuing
power of the civil service, the tensions between permanent
officials and political aides, and the hard grind of achieving
policy change from the centre in Whitehall. By exploring the
ideological beliefs underpinning the policy-making process and in
illuminating the importance of the British Political Tradition in
shaping the institutions and practice of statecraft, this book
reveals the contemporary realities of government and democracy in
practice.
