Bureaucracy, citizenship, governmentality: Towards a re-evaluation of New Labour
Introduction
The history of New Labour’s management of the Civil Service would appear to be a familiar one, suggesting significant continuities with an earlier era of Conservative rule. Changes in administrative practice in the British Civil Service in the years of the Conservative governments of the 1980s and 1990s acquired a certain consistency of style, a manifestation of the loosely coupled regime of administration that came to be known as ‘the new public management’ (Hood, 1991; du Gay, 2000).
