Evaluation researchers are tasked with providing the evidence to
guide programme building and to assess its outcomes. As such, they
labour under the highest expectations - bringing independence and
objectivity to policy making. They face huge challenges, given the
complexity of modern interventions and the politicised backdrop to
all of their investigations. They have responded with a huge
portfolio of research techniques and, through their professional
associations, have set up schemes to establish standards for
evaluative inquiry and to accredit evaluation practitioners. A big
question remains. Has this monumental effort produced a
progressive, cumulative and authoritative body of knowledge that we
might think of as evaluation science? This is the question
addressed by Ray Pawson in this sequel to "Realistic Evaluation"
and "Evidence-based Policy." In answer, he provides a detailed
blueprint for an evaluation science based on realist principles.
