Efficiency, economy, and equity are policy goals pursued by
governments around the world, but analysts and evaluators have
devoted more effort to measuring and evaluating the first two. In
Speaking Justice to Power, contributors examine the concept of
equity, the role it plays, and its application in policy
evaluation.
Here some of the most valuable thinkers in the area of policy
studies address key questions: How should evaluators develop
criteria for measuring equity as they analyze both program and
policy implementation as well as their impacts? What distinctions
among people should be taken into account when measuring and
valuing impacts? What sorts of data should be used to analyze
processes and impacts in different settings? How might such data be
validated?
The contributors employ grounded-theory thinking as they
translate key ethical principles into their work and draw important
lessons from their experiences. The work discusses equity in
interventions addressing a variety of social and environmental
problems. This volume continues the fine tradition of Transaction's
Comparative Policy Evaluation series.
