Civil Service: Did Bailout Programs Lead Ireland and Portugal towards Hybrid Models?
Eva Macedo, Pedro Nunes
Abstract: This paper begins identifying a conceptual dichotomy in the civil service concept: a Continental broad model and the narrower Anglo-Saxon model. The article evolves providing a discussion on public service reform, following the footsteps of New Public Management that paved the way for the emergence of hybrid models that display traits of a mix between the original models and external elements. Hereafter it turns to Portugal and Ireland, two bailed-out countries, both obliged by the reforms agreed with the Troika, questioning whether these reforms had an impact on the pre-existing Civil Service models, leading them to transform into hybrid models.
