In the run-up to the 2010 General Election in the United Kingdom this coordination dilemma was prominent as the capacity of the Cabinet Office to exert control over arm's-length bodies, either directly or indirectly, received intense criticism. This article presents the findings of the first detailed research project to examine the subsequent Coalition Government's approach to this dilemma. It argues that in relation to the governance of public bodies, the role and capacity of the Cabinet Office has been transformed. In mapping this development the article explores the implications of the centre striking back in the context of post-New Public Management reforms. - Reproduced. aPublic administration aFlinders, Matthew aPublic Administration a108518 c108513d108513 00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 93, Issue no: 1pAR108978r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
