Public Management Changes in Great Britain and the Goal of "Deprivileging" the Civil Service
After a brief general survey of the main "New Public Management" changes which were introduced into the UK public services in the 1980s and early 1990s, this article focuses on the top civil service. It explores how far top civil servants were affected by the Thatcher governments's aim to "deprivilege the civil service". It shows that senior civil servants seem to have been less "deprivileged" than lower-level civil servants in terms of pay, conditions of employment and exposure to "harder" management regimes. But it also argues that the senior civil service seems to have bifurcated. The departments are still headed by civil servants with the classic closed-carreer "Whitehall" profile and with traditional styles of pay and tenure. But the "agencies" which have been created within the civil service since 1988 are headed by a group which is socially very different and which has different structures of pay and tenure. Whether this bifurcation will remain, or whether senior "policy" civil servants will be exposed to lateral-entry and fixed-term contracts like the agency heads, remains to be seen.
