A Regional Future for the UK Civil Service? The Government Offices for the English Regions and the Civil Service in Scotland

McMillan, Janice; Massey, Andrew

Abstract

The civil service role in the Westminster model is to inform and implement central government policy. The authors argue that extensive public sector reforms and changes in UK governance mean that the Westminster model no longer provides an adequate explanation of how government works. Thus the United Kingdom is now a ‘Disunited Kingdom’.
