Constitutional Bureaucracy : The Development of the British Central Administration Since the Eighteenth Century

Omtale

Originally published in 1969, this book discusses specific issues in the rise of a constitutional bureaucracy as a counter-part to constitutional monarchy. These issues, including patronage, ministerial power and responsibility and the grey-eminence myth are set against the relationship among legislation and administration, Treasury control and the relevance of public administration to our conception of public accountability and representative bureaucracy.
