Open to the Public grows out of concern with evaluation in the
public arena and the struggle to understand how best to use the
information it generates. Many concepts and models of evaluation,
how to undertake it, and how to make it more useful, were developed
before government performance became of so much interest to the
public. In fact, it is arguable that recent changes in the forms,
shapes, structures, and media through which the information
developed in the process of evaluation becomes public, require new
ways of thinking about its role in society.What is the role of
evaluative information in the public arena today? How, when, and
under what circumstances does the actual use of evaluative
information take place, and what are the forces at play? By
compiling and comparing international case studies, this book
considers forces that make the information produced in evaluations
increasing "open to the public." They provide insights into the
many factors that influence evaluation and its use in the public
arena. Their case studies include such current topics as: "spin
doctoring" of information by the media and this practice's
relationship to evaluation studies, the hotly debated issue of
school performance, and information about it aired in the public
arena, and the controversial link between budget processing and
government performance.This book will be invaluable to those
conducting evaluations, public employees and commissioners, and
those studying public administration.
