监督、规范和报告英国政府部长任命公共机构董事会的方式的系统是公共管理中一个相对被忽视的领域。在公共任命专员办公室（OCPA）成立十年后，尽管透明度和问责制对新的公共管理和现代化具有重要意义，但学术界对这个问责机构（一个特别的英国机构）的运作却很少关注。本文试图通过检查OCPA与行政部门之间关系的紧张关系，在权力下放的政体中对专员的治理安排的变化，以及一些官方报告的主要发现和建议，来研究围绕公共任命专员作为问责代理人的关键问题，同时将这些问题置于当前关于公共机构现代化和“代表性”的辩论的背景下。
Abstract The system for monitoring, regulating and reporting on the way in which UK government ministers make appointments to the boards of public bodies is a relatively neglected area of public management. A decade after the establishment of the Office of the Commissioner for Public Appointments (OCPA), little attention has been paid by academics to the functioning of this agent of accountability (a particularly British device), despite the importance of transparency and accountability for the new public management and modernization. This article seeks to examine the key issues surrounding the Commissioners for Public Appointments as agents of accountability, by examining the tensions in the relationship between OCPA and the executive, variations in the governance arrangements for the Commissioners across the devolved polity and the key findings and recommendations of a number of official reports, while locating these issues in the context of current debates about modernization and ‘representativeness’ in public bodies.
