The notion of quality features prominently in contemporary
discourse. Numerous ratings, rankings, metrics, auditing,
accreditation, benchmarking, smileys, reviews, and international
comparisons are all used regularly to capture quality. This book
paves the way in exploring the socio-political implications of
evaluative statements, with a specific focus on the contribution of
the concept of quality to these processes. Drawing on perspectives
from the history of ideas, sociology, political science and public
management, Dahler-Larsen asks what is the role of quality, and
more specifically quality inscriptions, such as measurement? What
do they accomplish? And finally, as a consequence of all this, does
the term quality make it possible to deal with public issues in a
way that lives up to democratic standards? This cross-disciplinary
book will be of interest to scholars and students across various
fields, including sociology, social epistemology, political
science, public policy, and evaluation.
