The autonomy of senior civil servants
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
This chapter examines the autonomy of senior civil servants (SCS) within contemporary parliamentary democracies, focusing on how their professional authority is shaped by institutional settings and interactions with political executives. Autonomy is conceptualized as both professional (policy-making and expert authority) and managerial (control over internal administrative decisions). We distinguish meritocratic, hybrid, and patronage environments, showing how formal rules governing recruitment and dismissal affect the balance between bureaucratic independence and political responsiveness. The chapter identifies strategies political leaders use to constrain SCS autonomy, including political appointments, expectations of loyalty, patronage practices, and the sidelining of expertise, particularly under democratic backsliding. In response, SCS deploy protective strategies such as functional politicization, signaling political competence, resistance, and exit.
