Book Description:

Indicators and rankings are widely used by governments and international organizations to assess the effectiveness, efficiency, and success of policy decisions. The role of indicators is, however, little examined. This book closes this gap by evaluating the creation of indicators, their impact on policy decisions, and the implications of their use.
