Résumé
Managerialist Reform of the British Civil Service since 1979 : practical limits. Since Mrs Thatcher came to power, managerialism is officially presented as the only intellectual source of Civil Service reform. Management has been used to achieve two objectives : rolling back the State, and having a better State. As far as the first one is concerned, notwithstanding privatizations and public service contractualization, and although the number of civil servants has dramatically decreased, public expenditure continued their progression, and the rate of Civil Service costs within public expenditure stagnated. For second objective, wasting has been reduced and cost rationalization has given appreciable results. But actions on administrative organization and human resources did not bring the achievements which were looked for.
