This accessible book is simply structured according to the policy-cycle, highlighting different functions that evaluation can play in its phases. Analyzing the relationships between sustainability and assessment, the perception of sustainability problems are presented as well as exploring the role of evaluation and assessment studies during policy formulation and policy implementation. Policy reformulation is also explored including monitoring and quality improvement schemes. The volume concludes by addressing the quality of evaluations, and the impact this has. Providing theoretic insights, reflections and case studies, this book will prove useful to postgraduate students, practitioners, policymakers and researchers in the area of sustainable development, policymaking and evaluation.
