Evaluation for the Real World: The Impact of Evidence in Policy Making de Colin Palfrey

Evaluation for the Real World: The Impact of Evidence in Policy Making

Autor Colin Palfrey, Ceri Phillips, Paul Thomas
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 iun 2012
Evaluation research findings should be a key element of the policymaking process, but in reality, they are often disregarded. Evaluation for the Real World examines the use—and nonuse—of evaluation research by decision makers. Analyzing the frameworks and criteria of various evaluation procedures, it highlights the impact evaluation has on public policy with an emphasis on the real world of decision making in the public sector and the political and economic pressures it faces. Assessing the work of influential academics in both the United States and UK, the authors formulate strong arguments for the adoption of a different approach to evaluation.
