- How civil service exams and the shift to merit influenced appointments and efficiency.
- The evolution of key acts and their impact on inside and outside service recruitment.
- The rise and critique of permanent commissions and lighthouse governance structures.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the principle of independence in the modern state.

Focusing on the Canadian government, the book provides concrete examples of how independence can improve the functioning of state institutions.
