Government
See main article on governance
Central administration is also a key part of the civil service in many countries, in the UK for example – the department supports the chief executive’s office and other key areas. In the United States, many arms of government have a central administration department for example in correctional facilities the office of the director is under its tutelage. It plays a role in the function of various arms of state, in India it plays a pivotal role in the functioning of the civil service. The department also plays a key role in making critical decisions for many countries, in Pakistan (which borders India) for example there has been a discussion about whether the government should bring rebellious minded tribal areas under tighter control of central administration.

Famous quotes containing the word government:
“... until both employers’ and workers’ groups assume responsibility for chastising their own recalcitrant children, they can vainly bay the moon about “ignorant” and “unfair” public criticism. Moreover, their failure to impose voluntarily upon their own groups codes of decency and honor will result in more and more necessity for government control.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“You and I ... are convinced of the fact that if our Government in Washington and in a majority of the States should revert to the control of those who frankly put property ahead of human beings instead of working for human beings under a system of government which recognizes property, the nation as a whole would again be in a bad situation.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“In an ideal society, mothers and fathers would produce potty- trained, civilized, responsible new citizens while government and corporate leaders would provide a safe, healthy, economically just community.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
