Abstract

The numerous reforms of the public sector has tended to reduce the role of the civil service in governing. Both the New Public Management and democratizing reforms have tended to place the permanent civil service in a less central role in governing. That trend is, however, being reversed as the need for more coordinated forms of governing and the ability of elected politicians to exert their own priorities over government is moving the civil service back to playing a crucial role in governing.
