520	3		_aIn comparisons of the internal governmental arrangements within states, the United Kingdom (UK) is ordinarily categorised as a unitary state conforming to the `Westminster model'. However, this article contends that the changing nature of British governance over the last two decades means that the UK is better viewed as a `union state' that conforms more readily to a `diferentiated polity model'. Nowhere is the reality of differentiation more clearly exemplified than is respect of the British civil service. To illustrate the extent of differentiation, the article presents a case study of the characteristics and trends in the civil service of Northern Ireland for, while the politics of the Province have received great attention, its system of public administration has been chronically under-reported. The article considers the changing structures, policy process and impact of public management reforms as well as the impact of public management reforms as well as the restoration of devolved government. Finally, it summarises how the evidence from Northern Ireland informs theoretical understanding as well as its implications for the rest of the UK and beyond
