The evolution of the structure and functions of bodies regulating civil service

Abstract

This internship policy paper compares the evolution of bodies regulating civil service in the Anglo-Saxon model of public administration and the model applied in transitional countries. For this purpose, the US and UK models of civil service regulation have been chosen as representatives of the Anglo-Saxon model and the models applied in the Czech Republic and Armenia- representing transitional countries. The comparison is done based on two criteria: organizational structure and functions. The paper introduces the evolution of bodies regulating civil service in each of the four countries, and the main characteristics of each of the model are exposed. It compares the structure and the functions of those bodies at the phase of their establishment and at present. Finally, the judgements made lead to conclusions and recommendations on a more efficient operation of the Civil Service Council of Armenia.
