	Civil Service - MSN Encarta
		The term does not apply properly to service in the legislative branch or judicial branch, although in the United States some employees of these branches are subject to provisions of the Civil Service Act.
		In certain countries, notably the United Kingdom, the term civil service is used to denote only positions in the national government; in others, including France and the United States, the term is applied to governmental positions on all levels, from federal to municipal.
		Civil service employees enjoy a variety of employment benefits, including a contributory retirement system; an incentive-awards program that includes cash bonuses for useful suggestions; low-cost group life and health insurance plans; and paid vacations and sick leave.

	British Civil Service - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The British civil service is the permanent bureaucracy that supports the Government Ministers responsible to the Sovereign and Parliament in administering the United Kingdom.
		A permanent, unified and politically-neutral civil service, in which appointments were made on merit, was introduced on the recommendations of the Northcote-Trevelyan report of 1854, which also recommended a clear division between staff responsible for routine (“mechanical”) work, and those engaged in policy formulation and implementation in an “administrative” class.
		A new civil service code was launched on 6 June 2006 to outline the core values and standards expected of civil servants.

	Bureaucracy and the Civil Service in the United States by Murray N. Rothbard
		Barber adds another highly important point: with the advent of Civil Service reform, the once temporary set of bureaucrats are now converted into a permanent and self-conscious class or caste, set aside from, and in fundamental opposition to, the mass of the citizenry.
		The civil service reform movement began when Senator Charles Sumner (R., Mass), a Boston Brahmin and a leader of the Radical Republicans, introduced a bill for tenure and open examinations, to be administered by a federal civil service commission.
		Jenckes, a wealthy patent attorney, was in correspondence with British civil service reformers, and he patterned his bill after their program: life tenure on good behavior, open competitive examinations, and a three-man civil service commission to administer the program.

	Civil Service Systems in Comparative Perspective (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		As the United States approaches the end of the twentieth century, therefore, federal public management systems and the civil service laws that support them have increasingly become the means to the end of more effective government.
		The Civil Service Commission and the Office of Personnel Management --but also the agencies themselves-- had created pages and pages of rules, whose elimination or repeal was always in their power.
		Civil service laws and regulations in the United States have always had a split personality: it is their responsibility to protect the permanent career workforce from undue political influence, while still providing political leaders with a responsive set of career employees.

		Shortly after the initiation of hostilities the organization's name was changed to the Women's Voluntary Service for Civil Defence to reflect the increasing number of roles the organization was filling.
		By 1943 this service had expanded to include staffing Incident Inquiry Points, which were set up in as short a time as 30 minutes after the all clear in a bombed area to assist in providing a central welfare inquiry service about those injured or killed.
		In addition, in 1944 and 1945 Women's Voluntary Service members were deployed to Europe and to the Far East to provide social services for British troops in the theatre of war.

		Moreover, for some citizens, the dam may not be a service at all; in the jargon of economists, for some people, the dam may be a "bad" not a "good".
		The conference endorsed both civil service reform and free trade, although Speaker of the House James G. Blaine was able to keep the reformers from calling for a new party by promising to make one of their own, James A. Garfield, chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee.
		The CSC was supposed, however, to divide the civil service into grades, and clearly it was absurd to believe that it could accomplish this task in two weeks.

		In British politics, the British Civil Service is the permanent bureaucracy that administers the United Kingdom.
		The British practice, of maintaining a permanent, theoretically politically neutral, Civil Service with staff who are not dependent on elected politicians for reappointment, is in contrast with the early 19th century American spoils system in which all public officials were dependent on elected politicians.
		The civil service is meant to be politically independent, and is not appointed by ministers.
