The graded papers are currently with Diana in SPEA 230. Please send me an electronic version of your paper #1 for resource purposes, with your name removed if preferred. Reflect on the provenance of your country’s civil service, especially as some nations transition towards democracy. The bureaucracy can be inherited, necessitating a nuanced approach. Public service encompasses all who are funded by the public, while civil service refers specifically to full-time bureaucrats. Consider the implications of QUANGOs and the need for checks, balances, and transparency in governance.
