THE HISTORY OF CIVIL SERVICE

The use of competitive examinations to select civil officials was begun in China during the Han dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD). In the West, however, selection of civil administrators and staff on the basis of merit examinations is a later development. The Roman Empire, for example, seems to have recruited and promoted officials largely on the basis of custom and the judgment of superiors.

The establishment of the modern civil service is closely associated with the decline of feudalism and the growth of nation states that were centrally governed. In Prussia, as early as the mid-17th Century, Frederick William, Elector of Brandenburg, created an efficient civil administration staffed by civil servants chosen on a competitive basis. In France similar reforms preceded the Revolution and were the basis for the Napoleonic reforms that transformed the royal service into the civil service. Development of a professional civil service came several decades later in Great Britain and the United States, who both separately established the notion of a politically independent civil service in the mid to late 19th Century.

In the 1990s, many civil service departments became agencies, e.g., Information Technology Services Agency (ITSA) and Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA). It was a Conservative idea whereby the old departments, which were all controlled centrally, were allowed to do their own thing. This meant that different agencies could have different pay scales and recruitment practices. It also meant that they could start doing work with/for the private sector as well as government departments. In the old department-based service, if you wanted to change jobs you could apply for a transfer to anywhere in the civil service. So one week you could be getting abuse from a benefit claimant in Sheffield and the next you could be counting sheep in Cornwall. Now, because the agencies are all independent, you can only apply for a job in the same agency.
