| Zusammenfassung: | In the history and folklore of Australia's Commonwealth Public Service, the idea of the 'Seven Dwarfs' has been remarkably persistent. Originally a witty epithet applied to a powerful group of senior public servants, the term has come to represent the professionalisation of Australian government administration during the Second World War and post-war reconstruction era, and into the following two decades of expansion. This was a period when, for the first time, talented university graduates entered the public service, rose to senior levels, and exerted great influence over the affairs of the Commonwealth. With the secure tenure of being permanent heads of departments, they defined the age of the public service mandarin. This book explores the lives and influence of the Seven Dwarfs and their colleagues, bringing together the leading researchers on post-war Australian administration. Featuring four thematic chapters and ten biographical portraits, it offers a fascinating insight into the workings of the Commonwealth Public Service during a critical period in its history |

Originally a witty epithet applied to a powerful group of senior public servants, the term has come to represent the professionalisation of Australian government administration during the Second World War and post-war reconstruction era, and into the following two decades of expansion. This was a period when, for the first time, talented university graduates entered the public service, rose to senior levels, and exerted great influence over the affairs of the Commonwealth. With the secure tenure of being permanent heads of departments, they defined the age of the public service mandarin. This book explores the lives and influence of the Seven Dwarfs and their colleagues, bringing together the leading researchers on post-war Australian administration. Featuring four thematic chapters and ten biographical portraits, it offers a fascinating insight into the workings of the Commonwealth Public Service during a critical period in its history English Geschichte 1939-1951 gnd rswk-swf Administration publique (Science) Histoire Hauts fonctionnaires Reconstruction d'après-guerre Histoire Reconstruction, 1939-1951 Reconstruction, 1939-1951 Histoire Civil service Employees Federal government Government executives HISTORY Modern Politics and government Postwar reconstruction Public administration Reconstruction (1939-1951) Civil service Australia History Federal government Australia History Government executives Australia Biography Postwar reconstruction Australia History Public administration Australia History Reconstruction (1939-1951) Australia Reconstruction (1939-1951) Australia History Einflussnahme (DE-588)4131701-4 gnd rswk-swf Öffentlicher Dienst (DE-588)4043169-1 gnd rswk-swf Führungskraft (DE-588)4071497-4 gnd rswk-swf Australien (DE-588)4003900-6 gnd rswk-swf australia government administration public service Since 1939 Australia / Officials and employees / Biography Australia / Politics and government / 1945- Australie / Fonctionnaires / Biographies Australie / Politique et gouvernement / 1945- Australia Electronic books Biographies History (DE-588)4143413-4 Aufsatzsammlung gnd-content Australien (DE-588)4003900-6 g Öffentlicher Dienst (DE-588)4043169-1 s Führungskraft (DE-588)4071497-4 s Einflussnahme (DE-588)4131701-4 s Geschichte 1939-1951 z DE-604 Furphy, Samuel editor oth Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 1925022323 https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=3093489 Verlag kostenfrei Volltext data file |
