Abstract	Examining the question of politicization in the context of high turnover among meritocratic civil servants, this paper discusses the role of trust when politicians seek responsiveness. We begin by deﬁning what politicisation means in a highly politicized context, which might differ from traditional understanding. Second, we investigate how politicization has manifested itself in relations between senior civil servants and politicians, their attitudes, assumptions, behavior and decision-making. Our findings suggest that individual ministers retain considerable autonomy from their parties in patronage appointments and thus can employ their own criteria of perceived need for the leadership of a ministry. We can analytically differentiate between reasons to dismiss the standing civil servants and the reasons to appoint new ones. In the former, negative trust plays the key role: Ministers do not believe they can rely on the inherited managerial level of civil servants. In the latter, positive trust is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for appointment. As ministers are under pressure to deliver results to their principals (voters and parties), they also value expertise and competencies, a commodity that is in short supply both within their parties and in their ministries. Our findings suggest that they often tend to solve the problem by turning to their personal networks, drawing suitable appointees from their pre-political careers and non-political circles.
