Full Description

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.'
