Policy Evaluation in the Era of COVID-19

"The diversity and richness of the topics show immediately how important the book is. The findings ... to name a few, [such as] the deprioritization of evaluation during the crisis, the taken-for-grantedness of a number of underlying assumptions, describes [the] many efforts of evaluators."

"The strength of the book is the combination of the perspectives and the relevant insights they present. The book is undoubtedly timely, relevant, and important, not only for understanding what happened during the past years, but also in preparing for what will come."

Per Øyvind Bastøe, Associate professor, VID Specialized University, Oslo, Norway

"This is a timely book for policy evaluators, policy makers and politicians. [...] The book has been complied by practitioners and established academic experts in the field of policy evaluation. They present a sophisticated synthesis of institutional, national, and disciplinary perspectives. The book appears in nine chapters, together with an introduction and an afterword."
