Book Description:
|
Examining the degree to which evaluators seek power for their own interests, this book asks questions such as: Can we really trust evaluation to be a force for the good? To what degree can we talk about self-interest in evaluation, and is this self-interest something that contradicts other interests such as ""the benefit of society""?
