Interest in the existence and the effect of administrative traditions has been a long-standing feature in the study of executive government, especially when linked to the investigation of inheritance, transplant and irritant effects. Two perspectives have been particularly prominent when it comes to the study of ‘legacies’. The first broad perspective emphasizes the mortmain effect of administrative and political institutions, allowing for more or (usually) less scope for reform. The second broad perspective is linked to the study of institutional transfer, especially in the light of experiences of colonial and postcolonial administration. For example, the interaction of the ‘Whitehall model’ being handed over to a ‘derivative middle class’ led to specific modifications to ‘public service bargains’ in the English-speaking Caribbean (Lodge and Stirton 2009; Subramaniam 1983).
