Summary

Reflecting the creative ferment in the field of evaluation studies, ESRA Volume 11 is both comprehensive and exemplary in its coverage. The editors make a case for two separate approaches to the discipline, based upon a difference in purpose, function and method of inquiry: } Programme evaluation, which is a service oriented, professional mode of evaluation, and } Programme research, which primarily focuses on the assessment of cause-and-effect relationships, conceptual variables and links between these variables. Although the volume concentrates on new refinements to the tools and techniques available to the contemporary evaluation practitioner, the editors also consider the dilemmas facing evaluators in a changing political and economic climate.They discuss prospects and strategies for the future.
