Decolonization
This chapter examines the diaspora of members of each of Britain&s;s three overseas civil services between 1947, when the first of them was terminated, and 1980, when the last of HMG agencies established to help the resettlement of its imperial officials, the Overseas Service Resettlement Bureau, was closed on the grounds of mission accomplished. The study of decolonization has largely focused on the receiving end of imperialism, its process and …
Symbol of Authority
The district officer - the D.O. - was the pivot of the British Colonial Administration throughout the British Empire, as was his counterpart in India - immortalized in Philip Woodruff’s “The Men who Ruled India”. The D.O. who was both administrator and magistrate and the essential link with the professional and technical services and essentially, with the indigenous population - the 600,000,000 people they served - in an empire of service rather …

The British Intellectual Engagement with Africa in the Twentieth Century
Glimpses of Empire
In this unique collection of writings culled from the Corona Club Bulletin, we see the governor in council and the DO in the field and a myriad of professional officers–agricultural, educational, medical, veterinary, engineering, nursing--at work. The contributions range from the political, constitutional, and the “daily round” of administration and service, to personal, family, sporting and service life. The writings, chosen and edited by Anthon…
Decolonization
Among the numerous aspects of decolonization (mostly political and economic) studied during the half-century since the beginning of the end of the British Empire, one major social phenomenon has received very little attention in the literature. This is the diaspora of the expatriate career civil servants who were still employed by HM government when independence was granted. Between the transfer of power in India in 1947 and that of Hong Kong in …
On Crown Service
The British Intellectual Engagement with Africa in the Twentieth Century
Decolonization, Early Retirement and Second Careers
If the reverse face of the coin of decolonization has been the emergence of the Third World, equally the reverse of the primacy of localization in the public services was the withdrawal of Britain’s Crown civil servants overseas from the independent nations-to-be. Chapter 8 considered the principle, process and pace of localization; Chapter 9 looks at the winding up of the respective Services, studied in their heyday in Part II, in the context of…
The Indian Civil Service, 1858–1947
In the eyes of those Britons who, in the age of Empire, were to an extent aware of — and, more relevantly, were actors in — imperial administration, and in the minds of most young men who had already set their sights on a career in administration overseas, the Indian Civil Service enjoyed pre-eminence in the ranking order. ‘The Civil Service of Pakistan is the successor in Pakistan of the Indian Civil Service’, proclaimed an official recruiting p…
Proconsuls at the Top
Empire is frequently analysed under such contradictory concepts as trusteeship and exploitation or under such single rubrics as ideology, the diffusion of ideas and the transfer of technology, or, in more recent retrospect, race relations, gender and cultural imperialism. Other, secondary but popular, interpretations rest on the evidence of fiction, themes of adventure and ‘deeds of Empire’, brought to a peak in the writings of G. A. Henty and Ru…
Anatomizing the Making of the Generic District Officer
It is impossible to read the literature on Britain’s overseas administrative services without encountering the qualifying term ‘elite’: an elite Service, a corps d’élite , an administrative elite. 1 If the study of Britain’s Home Civil Service has, since the Trevelyan-Northcote Report of 1854, focused on access to merit through open competition, that on her overseas civil services has emphasized their elite properties. In all three overseas admin…
On Company and Other Crown Service Overseas
Part II examines the recruitment, composition, structure and work of the Administrative (in some instances and at some periods called Political) branches of Britain’s three principal overseas civil services: in the Indian Empire, in the Colonial Empire, and in the Condominium of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. In the century covered by this study, these were the imperial civil services which regularly offered a life-time career in government administra…
An Empire to be Administered
On the eve of the Second World War — as it turned out, in itself an event destined to become an imperial turning-point of unforeseeable magnitude — the British Empire comprised almost twelve million square miles. That was over a quarter of the world’s inhabited land mass, eighty times the size of Great Britain. Modestly, the Colonial Office, with authority over thirty-five countries, took care to point out that this impressive statistic did not i…
Empowering the Imperial Administrator
This book has offered a socio-institutional history of the composition and work of Britain’s three principal corps of overseas administrators during the century c. 1860 to c. 1960. This was the era which saw Britain’s ad hoc appointments of imperial administrators cohere into elite cadres of professionals and the Service convert into a major career option for hundreds of British graduates in search of Crown service overseas. The same century witn…
The Transfer of Power and Localization
The first decade following the transfer of power to successive new nations from within the colonial empire was characterized by a glow of mutual congratulations on one feature above all in the imperial governmental legacy. This was the inheritance of a sound civil service derived from many years of the finest British traditions of efficiency, dedication, loyalty to whatever elected government was in power, and total incorruptibility. That at leas…
The Sudan Political Service, 1899–1955
Of Britain’s three principal overseas civil services considered here, the Sudan Political Service — the key provincial administration — was at once the youngest and the smallest of them all. Established in 1899, forty years after the Indian Civil Service (ICS), and abolished in 1955 (indeed, no British officers were recruited after 1952), forty years before the one-time Colonial Service (later HMOCS) approached the end of its time in Hong Kong, a…
The Colonial Administrative Service, 1895–1966
The Colonial Service is not only the longest-lived of Britain’s three pre-eminent overseas civil services under examination here, it is also by far the largest. On the other hand, while there is no room for argument over the exact dates of the life of the ICS, 1858–1947 (allowing for historians of bureaucracy to trace the pre-Crown continuities in administrative structure and system from the East India Company’s Civil Service), and a largely acad…

‘Le Roi est mort! Vive le roi!’
The perceived, or at least the projected, critical distinction between British and French colonial administration in West Africa did not, as might be supposed, find its loudest controversy over the issue of the ultimate goal of colonial policy. On that the two sides were, right up to the final decade of empire, as opposed as they had been at Waterloo 150 years earlier. For it was not until the approval of the loi-cadre in 1956 that the same conne…
