Modes of Politicization in the Irish Civil Service: Ministers and the Politico-Administrative Relationship in Ireland de Aodhán Mac Cormaic

Modes of Politicization in the Irish Civil Service: Ministers and the Politico-Administrative Relationship in Ireland

Autor Aodhán Mac Cormaic
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 aug 2016
This book presents a study of the relationship between Cabinet-level Ministers and top civil servants in Ireland. The nature of this relationship can potentially have far-reaching effects on people’s lives as it can influence the type of public policy agreed at top levels of government. A total of sixteen interviews were carried out for the research, eight with retired Cabinet-level Ministers and eight with retired Secretaries General of Irish government departments.  Anonymity, not just for the participants but also for the government departments in which they had served, was vital to the success of the research.  Also vital was the fact that only retirees were interviewed as this removed the fear for participants that their careers might suffer if they spoke too frankly.  The result is a collection of interviews containing frank and open views on the relationship between Ministers and their officials and on how this relationship influences public policy development.

Recenzii

“The book provides a good overview of the subject matter as well as some new qualitative analysis of the theories in an Irish context. It makes good reading for any student of public administration and generalists alike. This is partly due to the range of theories and examples covered and partly due to the clarity in which it is presented.” (Stephen Beamish, Administration, Vol. 66 (4), 2018)​
