This book examines the progress of institutionalisation of evaluation in American countries from various perspectives. It presents prior developments and current states of evaluation in 11 American countries and three transnational organisations, focusing on three dimensions, namely the political, social and professional systems. These detailed country reports, which have been written by selected researchers and authors of the respective countries, lead to a concluding comparison and synthesis. This is the second of four volumes of the compendium The Institutionalisation of Evaluation. The first volume on Europe was published in 2020. It will be followed by two more volumes on Asia Pacific, and Africa. The overall aim is to provide an interdisciplinary audience with cross-country learning to enable them to better understand the institutionalisation of evaluation in different nations, world regions and sectors.

This volume provides a comprehensive analysis of the many different facets of the Swiss political system and of the major developments in modern Swiss politics. It brings together a diverse set of more than 50 leading experts in their respective areas, who explore Switzerland's distinctive and sometimes intriguing politics at all levels and across multiple themes. In placing the topics in an international and comparative context and in conversation with the broader scholarly literature, the contributors provide a much-needed counterpoint to the rather idealized and sometimes outdated perception of Swiss politics. The work is divided into thematic sections that represent the inherent diversit...
Each volume of the Dictionary of World Biography contains 250 entries on the lives of the individuals who shaped their times and left their mark on world history. This is not a who's who. Instead, each entry provides an in-depth essay on the life and career of the individual concerned. Essays commence with a quick reference section that provides basic facts on the individual's life and achievements. The extended biography places the life and works of the individual within an historical context, and the summary at the end of each essay provides a synopsis of the individual's place in history. All entries conclude with a fully annotated bibliography.

Das Globe-Projekt des Centrums für Evaluation CEval strebt eine weltweite Bestandsaufnahme zum Stand der Institutionalisierung von Evaluation auf nationaler Ebene an. Dies ist der erste Band zu den Entwicklungen in 16 europäischen Ländern und in zentralen Institutionen der Europäischen Union. Untersucht werden anhand eines gemeinsamen Analyseleitfadens drei zentrale gesellschaftliche Systeme, nämlich das politische, das soziale und das Professionssystem. Hierfür konnten insgesamt 37 Expertinnen und Experten aus den jeweiligen Ländern und Institutionen gewonnen werden, die entsprechend der Vorgaben Recherchen durchgeführt und Länderbeschreibungen erstellt haben. Die Vorgehensweise ermöglicht zudem einen Ländervergleich, der in einer Synthese zum Stand der Institutionalisierung der Evaluation in Europa mündet.
Der Begriff und das Verständnis von Entwicklung sind seit Beginn der Entwicklungspolitik in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Js. umstritten. Dies gilt schon deswegen, weil es sich nicht nur um einen beschreibenden, sondern auch um einen wertenden Begriff handelt. Die Rede von "Entwicklung" legt nahe, dass es "unterentwickelte" Länder gibt, denen es gelingen soll, einen Entwicklungsprozess nachzuholen oder selbstständig zu vollziehen. Damit sind zwangsläufig normative Annahmen darüber verbunden, welche Zustände in einer Gesellschaft überwunden werden und wohin gesellschaftliche Veränderungen führen sollen. Zwar wurde der ursprünglich stark ökonomisch geprägte Entwicklungsbegriff im Lau...
