Bøker av Robert Pyper

This comprehensively revised replacement volume for Pyper's popular text The British Civil Service provides a broad-ranging introduction to the civil service today. It explains and assesses the impact on the civil service of the historic Whitehall unitary model, the New Public Management of Thatcher and Major and Blair's modernisation.

This comprehensive introductory text starts by charting the origins and evolution of the shift from public administration to public management and moves on to assess the main theories and debates about its character, benefits and problems.
