Petra Đurman

Sažetak
The article gives an overview of functional and structural features of the political system and public administration in the United Kingdom, analysing the interference of traditional, persisting characteristics with contemporary reform measures. Some of the examined issues include distinctive constitutional model, neutral and professional state administration, the problem of departmentalism, devolution processes, and strengthening the position of local government. The
author first gives an overview of the British public administration development, indicating the relevance of historical particularities as determinants of modern administrative attributes and developmental patterns, after which political and constitutional features are considered. An analysis of territorial organization, state administration, civil service, and public services completes the review of the British public administration system. Finally, administrative reforms implemented from the 1970s onwards are described, showing the erosion of many traditional characteristics of British public administration.
