Description
This study provides an overview of the development of the Civil Service since World War II. Adopting a broad, historical approach, it assesses the changes in organization, structure and management of the Whitehall machine, alongside the continuities in the policy and practice of public administration. Kevin Theakston draws on the full range of recent scholarship, as well as the many post-war official investigations and reports, to provide a balanced analysis of the key themes and issues. The book should be of interest to those involved in the development of public policy and administrations, and post-war British politics in general.
