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.
