'This Handbook on civil service systems is truly international and comparative. It covers and compares countries from all continents. It also connects historical (Weberian) legacies to contemporary challenges such as coordination, the hollow state, and trust. Massey's Handbook does not avoid difficult issues for civil service systems such as ruined reforms, fiscal retrenchment, and cultural and political system shocks. Therefore this book is exceptionally rich and stimulating.' Geert Bouckaert, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium While there is no universally accepted definition of civil servant and civil service, this authoritative and informative Handbook compares and contrasts various approaches to organising the structure and activities of different civil service systems. Underpinning theories and frameworks provide a disciplinary perspective from which to explore recurring topics and themes, and international comparisons are made via case studies from Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe, and North and South America. The expert contributors consider the historical and theoretical context of public administration and public sector management, encompassing issues such as the Weberian legacy, joined-up government and the hollowed-out state thesis. The debate between Anglo-American influenced systems versus the continental European approach to organising the civil service is also addressed.

This book is the official history of British Cabinet Secretaries, the most senior civil servants in UK government, from the post-war period up to 2002. In December 1916 Maurice Hankey sat at the Cabinet table to take the first official record of Cabinet decisions. Prior to this there had been no formal Cabinet agenda and no record of Cabinet decisions. Using authoritative government papers, some of which have not yet been released for public scrutiny, this book tells the story of Hankey’s post-war successors as they advised British Prime Ministers and recorded Cabinet’s crucial decisions as the country struggled through the exhaustion that followed World War II, grappled with a weak economy that could not support its world ambitions, saw the end of the post-war economic and social consensus and faced the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers symbol of Western dominance. It looks at events through the eyes of politically neutral senior civil servants, the mandarins of Britain. It shows how the dramatic foreshortening of timescales and global news have complicated the working lives of those who daily face the deluge of potentially destabilising events – the skills required to see dangers and opportunities around corners, when to calm things down and when to accelerate action; why secrecy is endemic when government comes close to losing control or when political ambition threatens self-destruction. This book will be of great interest to students of British politics, British history and British government.

Britain's Modernised Civil Service provides detailed analysis of the structure and operation of the modern civil service along with an historically grounded account of its development. Key events, personalities and scandals help bring the account to life and illuminate and challenge the various theories of what the civil service is or should be. The authors take the evolutionary change of the civil service as a central theme and examine the impact of the major reforms of recent years on the historic Whitehall unitary model. They assess the impact of the New Public Management agenda of the Thatcher and Major years and the role of the Civil Service in the multi-governmental context of devolution and membership of the European Union. Further changes associated with New Labour such the increased role of think tanks, special advisers and the impact of the freedom of information act further sharpen the picture of today's civil service and lead to a rethinking of theories of its role. This readable book by two leading authorities provides an up-to-date account of Britain's Civil Service that will be essential reading for students of British politics, public policy and management. June Burnham is a researcher and consultant in the area of public services and public policy and formerly Senior Lecturer in European Government at Middlesex University. Robert Pyper is Professor of Government and Public Management, and Head of the Division of Public Policy at Glasgow Caledonian University. He is author of The British Civil Service for which this is a fully-revised replacement volume.

Inception Point: The Use of Learning and Development to Reform the Singapore Public Service fills a gap in current literature on Singapore's modernisation. While the political leadership of the late Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew and his People's Action Party (PAP) government were key to Singapore's modernisation, the role of policy implementation was one shouldered by the Singapore Public Service, a story thus far neglected in literature. Inception Point argues that the Singapore Public Service used executive development and training to introduce reforms across the bureaucracy. In so doing, the bureaucracy constantly adjusted itself to help modernise Singapore. In the 40 years between decolonisation in 1959 and 2001, when the training arm of the bureaucracy became a statutory board, training had been used firstly, to socialise the bureaucracy away from its colonial-era organisational culture to prepare it for the tasks of nation-building. Subsequently, civil servants were mobilised into an 'economic general staff' through training and development, to lead the Singapore developmental state in the 1970s and the 1980s. The Public Service for the 21st Century (PS21) reforms in the 1990s was the epitome in harnessing development and training for reforms across the bureaucracy. Contents: Acknowledgements Abbreviations Introduction Neglect: The Origins of Singapore's Administration and Training (1819–1959) Early Political Socialisation: The Political Study Centre and Staff Training (1959–1969) Toward Managing the "Developmental State" The Staff Training Institute (1971–1975) Symbolism and Tinkering: The Civil Service Staff Development Institute and the Civil Service Institute (1975–1996) The First Dedicated Leadership Training Initiative: Civil Service College (1993–1996) Instrument for Reforms: Aligning the Civil Service College for PS21 (1996–2001) Conclusion: Training and Development as Inception Point of Reforms Sources and Bibliography Index Readership: Students and professionals interested in the history of the civil service in Singapore, interested in reforms for civil service in general.

This is the hilarious account of the experiences of a seasoned civil servant, rendered in fictional form. It is based on actual episodes and experiences of the author during his years in the Nigerian Civil Service, where he was Permanent Secretary in various Ministries, Secretary to the Military Government and Head of the Civil Service in the former Western State of Nigeria. The story portrays the lighter side of the civil service, whose image is one of static dullness, and the drawings add to the fun.

The basis of the UK Civil Service was set out 150 years ago in the Northcote-Trevelyan report ('The organisation of the permanent Civil Service', Parliamentary Papers, Vol. XXVII, 1854). The management of the Service has evolved over this time through a non-statutory approach, and the creation of a statutory basis to underpin the role, governance and values of the Civil Service would be a major constitutional reform. This consultation paper seeks comments on whether legislation is a necessary and desirable step to take in support of the core service values of integrity, impartiality and objectivity, in the light of the modern challenges it faces in the 21st century. It contains the text of the Government's draft Civil Service Bill, which would cover staff in the Home Civil Service and the Diplomatic Service, and other government agencies including the Forestry Commission, ACAS, HSE and OFSTED; as well as the devolved administrations in Scotland and Wales. The provisions exclude civil servants working in the Secret Intelligence Service and Security Service agencies, and the Northern Ireland Civil Service. The draft Bill contains proposals to establish a Civil Service Commission as an independent statutory body to uphold the principle of selection on merit through fair and open competition, although it provides for the continuing exemption of special advisers from this requirement. It seeks to clarify what special advisers can and cannot do, by redefining their general function as 'assisting' Ministers, and determining that special advisers cannot authorise expenditure, exercise line management supervision over permanent civil servants, or discharge statutory powers. Responses to the consultation paper should be received by 28 February 2005.
