The politics of evaluation participation and policy implementation

Evaluation has become a central tool in the development of contemporary social policy. Its widespread popularity is based on the need to provide evidence of the effectiveness of policies and programmes. This book sees evaluation as an inherently political activity, as much about forms of governance as scientific practice. Using a wide range of examples from neighbourhood renewal, health and social care and other aspects of social policy, it relates practical issues in evaluation design to their political contexts.

There is a need for policies to encourage empowerment and participation, however, their impact and success must be monitored to ensure that they are fulfilling their remit. This social research textbook pulls together a wide range of political issues which impact on evaluation."
