Since the Conservative government of the late 70s introduced its
stringent spending policy, a 'value for money' ideology has
dictated most new approaches to policy management. As a result,
monitoring and evaluation have become an integral part in the
policy process. Focusing on the experience of British Urban Policy,
this book examines the theoretical and practical issues in the
monitoring or evaluation of public policy. It argues that as a
result of the 'value for money' ideology influencing urban policy
in Britain, various conflicts have arisen in both policy and
implementation, and compromises have had to be made. By exploring
the experiences of monitoring and evaluating urban policy, the book
examines key issues such as changing approaches, the interface
between monitoring and evaluation, and the utilization of
monitoring information and evaluation studies. It concludes that a
long-term evaluation strategy is required in order to improve the
utility value of evaluation studies vis-a-vis policy formulation at
the national level and implementation at the local level.
