Pakistan inherited a civil service with a long and illustrious history, a product of two great imperial civilisations. The civil service is a cultural artifact which is now caught in transitional time. Pakistani leaders recognise this public issue. They have sought to introduce personnel reforms; the consequences have been uneven. This article addresses these and related aspects It concludes that Pakistan must reinvent its constituent civil service.
