The end of Whitehall? : government by permanent campaign / Patrick Diamond. - vii, 106 pages : illustrations (black and white) - Palgrave policy essentials .
1. Introduction -- 2. Government by 'permanent campaign' -- 3. the growth of political advisory staff -- 4. The personalisation of appointments -- 5. A 'promiscuously partisan' bureaucracy -- 6. Conclusion
"This Palgrave Policy Essential maps and assesses key changes in the Whitehall model over the last two decades. It argues that the traditional Whitehall model is being replaced by a system of ‘New Political Governance’ (NPG) centred on politicised campaigning; the growth of political advisory staff relative to the permanent civil service; the personalisation of bureaucratic appointments; and the creation of a government machine that is ‘promiscuously partisan’. It provides a snapshot of the institutional changes that are unfolding at a critical moment, as Whitehall prepares to support Ministers in carrying out the Brexit process while addressing a series of long-term structural challenges from the demographic pressures of the ageing society to the impact of climate change. Austerity since 2010 has had a further transformative effect on Whitehall, with drastic reductions in the civil service workforce, the restructuring of government agencies, and a reconfiguration of the traditional roles and responsibilities of the permanent civil service." -- https://www.palgrave.com/us/book/9783319961002#aboutBook
