About this title

Synopsis

This detailed and up-to-date account of the organization and use of evaluation in eight Western, democratic countries-Canada, Germany, United Kingdom, United States, Denmark, Holland, Norway, and Switzerland-shows how evaluation functions at different levels of development. Focusing on the national or federal level of government, it presents a systematic and comparative view of eight nations at different stages of the development, institutionalization, and utilization of evaluations. Contributors are academics and government officials, all of whom are involved in the production and use of evaluation findings.
