在讨论国家政策能力时，一个经常被忽视的领域是专业工作人员的征聘、保留和发展。本章通过审查公务员制度改革对政府在公务员素质方面的政策能力的影响来处理这一问题。在这样做时，它认为，过去二十年来的公共服务改革----或至少在高度接受新的公共管理范式的国家----以及批评官僚机构的一般政治气候，使征聘和留住“最优秀和最聪明的人”变得困难。对于那些期望公务员作为政治行政人员的“治理伙伴”发挥作用的制度来说，这是一个严重的失败，公务员在公司、政府范围的责任以及个别部门或机构的责任方面发挥领导作用。
In discussions of state policy capacity one area that is often neglected is the recruitment, retention and development of professional staff. This chapter addresses this issue by examining the effects of public service reform on government policy capacity in respect of the quality of public service staff. In doing so it argues that public service reforms over the past two decades — or at least in countries that have been highly receptive to the new public management paradigm — and a general political climate that is critical of bureaucracies have made it difficult to recruit and retain ‘the best and the brightest’. This is a critical failing for those regimes in which public servants are expected to function as ‘partners in governance’ with political executives, having leadership roles in respect of corporate, government-wide responsibilities as well as for individual departmental or agency responsibilities.
