Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Civil Service of Great Britain This essay is not an exhaustive history of the civil service of England. Its object is to present the steps in the reform of the English civil service with particular emphasis upon the success of competitive examinations and of the brilliant and farsighted plan to attract the most intelligent and capable young men in universities into the government service - a plan first introduced by Macaulay in the civil service of India and later adopted in the Home service. It may be said, then, that in this study the emphasis has been upon examinations, personnel, and prospects, rather than upon organization, economy, and conduct of business. In writing this monograph the author has had constantly in mind the influence of the reformed English civil service upon the civil service of the United States. This influence begins with the early American reformers, especially with the American author of the only existing complete history of the English civil service, Dorman B. Eaton, our first United States Civil Service Commissioner. Mr. Eaton was sent by President Hayes to study the English service, with a view to reforming the American "spoils" system, and embodied his researches in Civil Service in Great Britain. This book was a leading contribution to the reform movement which resulted, after Garfield's murder by an office seeker, in the Pendleton Act for open competition in 1883. Mr. Eaton began his volume with the Norman Conquest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Civil Service: Home, Colonial, Indian, and Diplomatic A personal experience Of forty-two years inside the British Civil Service, and the practical handling as a journalistic leader-writer of a considerable number of Civil Service questions arising from time to time for discussion in the public press, may, perhaps, be deemed sufficient warrant to me for writing this book.

Download or read book The Official History of the British Civil Service written by Rodney Lowe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-01-25 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first volume of the Official History of the UK Civil Service covers its evolution from the Northcote-Trevelyan Report of 1854 to the first years of Mrs Thatcher’s government in 1981. Despite current concerns with good governance and policy delivery, little serious attention has been paid to the institution vital to both: the Civil Service. This Official History is designed to remedy this by placing present problems in historical context and by providing a helpful structure in which others, and particularly former officials, may contribute to the debate. Starting with the seminal 1854 Northcote-Trevelyan Report, it covers the ‘lost opportunity’ of the 1940s when the Service failed to adapt the needs of ‘big government’ as advocated by Beveridge and Keynes. It then examines, in greater detail, the belated attempts at modernisation in the 1960s, the Service’s vilification in the 1970s and the final destruction of the ‘old order’ during the first years of Mrs Thatcher’s government. Particular light is shed on the origins of such current concerns as the role of special advisers the need for a Prime Minister’s Department the evolution of Parliamentary Select Committees to resolve the potential tension between bureaucracy and Parliamentary democracy. This Official History is based on extensive research into both recently released and unreleased papers as well as interviews with leading participants. It has important lessons to offer all those, both inside and outside the UK, seeking to improve the quality of democratic government. This book will be of great interest to all students of British history, British government and politics, and of public administration in general.

Download or read book Civil Service Administration Classic Reprint written by Leonhard Felix Fuld and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civil Service Administration Definition. Civil service administration has in the past been that branch of the public service which has jurisdiction over the selection of civilian employes required to carry on the public business. In most cases these employes have been selected by means of competetive tests. With the recent introduction of service records, the recent development of promotion examinations and the prosecution of efficiency studies, the sphere of the civil service administration has been gradually enlarged, and when the present day interest in salary classification, in service instruction and in centralized disciplinary control has been crystalized into legislation, civil service administration will include most of the activities which in private life are comprehended within the field of employment management. Free Appointment. (1) In the history of public administration, the era of the free uncontrolled appointment of subordinates preceded the era of civil service administration. When the public officer was free to appoint his own subordinates, he carried full responsibility for the acts and the character of the employes selected by him (2).

Aimed at first year students and above, the book applies a common framework of analysis to the study of each country's political setting, historical background, political executive, structure, bureaucracy, control, accountability, management and policy-making.

Download or read book Colonial Civil Service written by A. Lawrence Lowell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-08 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Colonial Civil Service: The Selection and Training of Colonial Officials in England, Holland, and France All thinking men are united in the Opinion that the United States ought to establish in the Philip pines a civil service which Shall be thoroughly effi cient and free from political pressure of every kind, and hence it appears worth while to see what light can be derived from the experience of other nations. A radical change in the British system has been made since the excellent work of the late Dorman B. Eaton on the English civil service was published; and there is no book in our own language, and none containing the latest information in any other, upon the methods of recruiting officials for the colonies of Holland and France. For this reason the fol lowing pages on the Selection and Training of Colo nial Officials in those three countries were originally prepared at the request of the American Historical Association, and a summary of the results was pre sented at the meeting of the Association at Boston on December 27, last. In writing a report of this kind it is important to include, as far as possible, everything that a student of the subject might desire to find, and hence the following chapters must comprise a great deal of detail that is unnecessary for the general reader. In order, therefore, to save the latter from wasting his time on what does not interest him, the chapters have been subdivided into short sections with sepa rate titles. This, it is hoped, will enable any one to find rapidly any special points in which he may be interested. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
