Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: That evaluation results should come to use is a dogma in the evaluation community. One way of making evaluations useful (better criterion than use) is to construe their evaluands as cases of something more general. One possibility is to focus on the policy-instruments part of the evaluands, in particular their power content.
Purpose: This chapter is about Carrots Sticks and Sermons, a general framework and a book for evaluating classifying and labeling the policy-instruments part of interventions,
Setting: Not applicable
Intervention: Not applicable
Research design: Not applicable
Findings: Unexpectedly, the trifold framework and the book has been quite successful as far as sold copies and citations are concerned.
