About the Book

This pathbreaking book contributes to the discourse of evidence-based policy-making. It does so by combining the two issues of policy evaluation and sustainable development linking both to the policy-cycle. It covers contributions: examining the perception of sustainability problems, which analyze the relationship between sustainability and assessment; highlighting the role of evaluation and impact assessment studies during policy formulation; looking at policy implementation by examining sustainability and impact assessment systems in different application areas; addressing policy reformulation by considering monitoring and quality improvement schemes; assessing the quality of sustainability evaluation studies. Providing theoretic insights, reflections and case studies, this novel study will prove essential to postgraduate students, practitioners, policy makers and researchers in the area of sustainable development, policy making and evaluation. Contributors: J. Bakkes, S. Boschen, K. Diehl, F.J. Dietz, I. de la Flor, C. George, A.H. Hanemaaijer, K. Helming, A. Hirschbeck, B. Hirschl, T. Kaphengst, C. Kirkpatrick, D. Knoblauch, J.

Review :
‘Compared to other collections in this field, Sustainable Development, Evaluation and Policy-Making, Theory, Practise and Quality Assurance is straightforward in its style and writing. . . There are no strange hypotheses, no jargon, no digressions, and no endless dis-cussion. The quality of the argumentation deployed here is impressive: the notes, figures, and remarks about research results are detailed and carefully crafted.’ ‘This thought-provoking and wide-ranging handbook covers a very wide range of multidisciplinary approaches to sustainable development and is a worthy addition to the bookshelf of those working in this area, whether they be evaluators, researchers, students or indeed the policy-makers themselves.’
