The evolving practice of UK Government ministers
通过对前英国大臣的访谈，研究了过去25年大臣实践的变化，强调执行角色在政策制定中的重要性，并探讨了这种变化对大臣与公务员关系的影响。
Abstract How can understanding the practice of government ministers help us to understand changes in public administration over time? Interviews with former UK ministers suggest that their practice has changed over the last 25 years. Their executive role has been accentuated as they have come to emphasize the importance of delivery and implementation to policy making. Reasons for that are examined, and consideration is given to how that shift in emphasis affects the ministers–civil servant relationship.
