The Civil Service in New African States

First Published in 1965, the Civil Service in New African States describes the problems and principles relating to the growth and development of the civil services in the newly independent states of Africa. With case studies from Ghana, and a few other West and East African countries, it discusses themes like civil service within machinery of government; administration of the civil service; Africanization policy and programme; the public service commission; structure and functions of ministries and departments; policy-making process; and financial control. This book is a must read for scholars and researchers of African studies, African politics, and public administration.
