Beyond levelling-up
The levelling up initiative of the UK Conservative Government has, since 2019, aimed to address the problem of serious economic disparities between and across the regions of the country. In opposition, the Labour Party has reacted to this initiative in phases: firstly via a broad critique, and then through an alternative policy which has come to be framed around a wider set of constitutional and governance reforms. Labour's response has been prob…
Governing ‘levelling-up’ in the UK
Following the Conservative Party’s victory in the 2019 UK General Election, and its success in achieving significant electoral gains across traditional Labour Party ‘red’ areas in the north of England, Prime Minister Boris Johnson vowed not to let down the new Conservative voters and pledged that his government would address longstanding regional inequalities in the UK. Consequently, ‘levelling up’ became part of the public policy lexicon, and, i…
The fragmentation of public administration
This paper analyzes a UK polity that is characterized by fragmentation, differentiation, and decentered governance which is evident at multiple layers of public policy and administration. The development of devolved governments as well as ongoing debates around regional and local governance have created increasingly fragmented places. The intensification of policies associated with the new public management has fragmented the provision of public …
Collective Ministerial Responsibility in British Government
The functioning of the convention of collective ministerial responsibility in British government during the period 2010–19 is assessed by examining, in turn: the convention's historical context, its operation during the period of the 2010–15 Conservative‐Liberal Democrat coalition government, and its application during 2015–19 in the extraordinary circumstances of the Brexit fissures. The key variables and causal factors which historically affect…
The facilitators of interagency working in the context of European public service reform
This article provides an overview of key lessons about the governance and leadership of interagency working in multi-level contexts. The article is based on interviews with local and national leaders across Europe. This topic is timely given the complexity of European public sector governance which demands leadership, co- production, and styles of collaboration which promote partnership- working within local contexts. We highlight that localism i…

The UK coalition and the civil service
Drawing upon a range of policy documents, government papers and parliamentary reports, as well as published academic and think tank analyses, this article sets out the civil service inheritance bequeathed to the 2010 UK coalition government by its predecessors, examines the pre-election civil service policies of the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats, illustrates the policy challenges facing the civil service in serving two masters, and anal…
The Ashgate research companion to new public management
The British Civil Service
This article was stimulated by the contradiction between two predominant characterisations of the British civil service. Some analysts see it as in decline, possibly terminally, overwhelmed by the challenges posed by the reforms and the changes in its policy environment; others see it as in the vanguard by adopting modernising reforms and adapting to new public service values. After critically examining these opposing perspectives on civil servic…

Modernisation and gender representation
Purpose A key aspect of the government's modernisation programme is to promote greater gender balance and diversity across public sector institutions and services. This includes appointments to and membership of public funded bodies. This paper reports on initial research on gender representation on boards in the Scottish enterprise (SE) sector. Design/methodology/approach A survey of membership by gender of SE and local enterprise company (LEC) …
Policy responses to crisis
English This article seeks to examine the UK government's policy responses to the 2002–04 firefighters’ dispute, a prolonged crisis which necessitated the activation of the central government's contingency planning procedures for a public safety emergency. The framework for analysis draws on a set of key criteria against which governmental and organisational policy responses to crises can be categorised: agenda management, centralisation of polic…
Firefighters' Dispute
The firefighters' strike of autumn and winter 2002–03, the first such action since 1977, had its origins in an abortive series of negotiations which took place between the Fire Brigades Union and the local government employers during the spring and summer of 2002. Once the dispute started, a series of national strikes effectively took one of the emergency services out of normal operation for extended periods of time. The Blair government faced a …

The Early Impact of Devolution on Civil Service Accountability in Scotland
A brief exploration of the thematic links between ‘modernisation’, devolution and official accountability shows that, while ‘modernisation’ per se, in its ‘micro’ forms has had a mixed impact on civil service accountability, there was a general expectation that devolution, as a feature of the Blair Government’. modernisation programme at the ‘macro’, constitutional level, would enhance both political and official accountability. However, the docu…

A Committee Again
The impending revival of the House of Commons Scottish Affairs Select Committee in the summer of 1992 brought a mixed reaction from politicians and political commentators. The opposition parties in Scotland welcomed the resurrection of this organ of parliamentary scrutiny while stressing that it was no substitute for broad constitutional reform in Scotland. The Conservatives generally expressed satisfaction that the Scottish Office was to be plac…
