The empirical investigation of the concept of PSB in general and changes in PSBs in particular is, however, limited.  This article addresses this limitation by investigating what causes changes in public service bargains, particularly with respect to the provision of advice.  As argued by Hood, we demostrate how changes in PSBs can be explained by a combination of changes in the environments of minstires as well as the intrests of the political actors.  Furthermore, we point to the professional qualifications of civil servants as well as their interests as causes of change which, until now, have not received sufficient attention in the PSB literature.  The article is based on a longitudinal case study of PSB between ministers and the permanent civil service in Denmark. - Reproduced.  a- Denmark  aCivil Service  aKundsen, Tim  aPublic Administration
