No Other Gods but Mrs. T

Article Abstract:

Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has introduced her own 'authoritarian' style of administering the British government. She initiates government policy and strategy with the aid of a small group of advisers. Department ministers are expected to execute policy. Budgetary control has been delegated to the central Financial Management Initiative (FMI) unit. The powers of the cabinet have been usurped, while the power of the prime minister has been greatly enhanced. Promotions in the civil service may depend on loyalty to the prime minister.

Britain, the Hostile Power

Article Abstract:

He is too good a diplomat to lose. The foreign office moves in a world of power and secrecy and must pay for it when bad decisions become known.

Howe,G.
