Description

This Routledge book provides a comprehensive analysis of the radical civil service reforms that transformed British governance during the 1980s and 1990s. The work examines how traditional unified hierarchical structures gave way to peripheral agencies focused on policy implementation and a central core dedicated to policy-making. Using public choice and public management theories as analytical frameworks, the author applies bureau-maximizing and bureau-shaping models to predict reform trajectories and assess their effectiveness. The central chapters scrutinise the concept of efficiency and its application within the reformed civil service, offering scholars, policymakers, and students of British politics essential insights into how these structural changes reshaped the machinery of government and influenced public administration practices.
