Ministers and their ministries are the means by which we hold
government accountable for providing vital public services such as
adequate health, education, and social security benefits. In this
provocative book the author systematically examines the persisting
and changing features of Whitehall ministries since 1945. Three
case studies - the Scottish Office, the Welsh Office, and the
Northern Ireland Office - provide detailed illustrations of the
complexity of the issues involved. Professor Rose's analysis raises
fresh questions about the priorities of politicians as individuals,
and about public priorities involving tens of billions of pounds
and millions of public servants. His concluding chapter argues that
Mrs Thatcher's attempt to introduce techniques of business
management into government is based upon a fundamental
misunderstanding of the priorities of ministers and ministries.
