Dutch Central Government Elites from 1980 to 2012
La haute fonction publique d’État néerlandaise a rarement été décrite en termes élitistes dans un pays avec une forte culture sociale égalitaire. Cet article analyse les caractéristiques des élites administratives néerlandaises, leur perception des relations qu’elles entretiennent avec les responsables politiques, l’influence du New Public Management sur leur mode de fonctionnement et la façon dont leur rôle et leur position dans le système polit…
Administrative elites in the Netherlands from 1980 to 2011
The Dutch top civil service level has seldom been described in ‘elitist’ terms; befitting a country with a strong egalitarian social culture. Though formally open to outside recruitment, in practice the (top) civil service in central government is a rather closed system. There is relatively little occupational mobility between these civil servants and political officeholders, and virtually none between the public and the private sectors. However,…
Rethinking the ‘Public Service Bargain’
It can be argued that because of the rise of New Public Management and the growing dominance of labor law and HRM practices, the so-called ‘traditional’ public law formulation of the position of civil servants has come under pressure in a number of Western European countries in recent decades and have shaken the ‘bargain’ agreed between the political and administrative leaders since the Second World War. By contrast, in Central and Eastern Europe…
The Changing Role of the Senior Civil Service in Dutch National Government
Publications about changes in the senior civil service in the Netherlands in the past few years (de Vries & van Dam, 1998; Bovens, 2000; van der Meer & Dijkstra 2000; Noordegraaf, 2000; Nieuwenkamp, 2001; ‘t Hart et al., 2002; van der Meer 2002, 2004) are part of a general increase in the study of the civil service (Bekke et al., 1996; Verheyen, 1999; Bekke and Van der Meer, 2000; Burns & Bowornwathana, 2001). These changes are a consequence of d…
Western European Civil Service Systems
According to available geological information, Europe started off as a collection of smaller tectonic plates situated somewhere in the southern hemisphere. Slowly drifting northwards, forces of nature moulded these smaller entities over time into the continent we know. On the basis of this historical geological information, we are relatively safe to presume that Europe has, at least, a geographical identity. Comparing civil service systems during…
Competency management and civil service professionalism in Dutch central government
Competency management has only recently been introduced into personnel management in Dutch central government. The decentralized nature of Dutch central government and its personnel management systems generates marked variation in the degree to which competency management is being applied across the Dutch civil service. The success or otherwise of competency management schemes in both government departments and the higher civil service in The Net…
Politisation ou pratiques politiques habituelles ? Les Pays-Bas
Politicisation or Politics as Usual : the Netherlands. The 'pillar' structure of Dutch society favours the practice of compromise and the search for consensus. These characteristics are to be found in the relations between politics and administration. The expansion of public activities has forced politicians to abandon a proportion of their powers in favour of high level civil servants who have woken up to the political dimension of their functio…
