Taking account of its evolution in recent decades, this book provides an up-to-date account of the role of the Civil Service in the UK.

The book offers a much-needed re-examination of the function and role of the Civil Service and considers the ways in which it has changed in response to today's pressures. It examines the changing relationships between ministers, civil servants and special advisers (spADs), as well as investigating challenges to the principles of the Civil Service such as service outsourcing, COVID-19 responses and Brexit.

Asking whether the practices of the past are effective for the future, this book is a vital resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students of UK politics, public administration and public sector management.
