Reviews
"""The diversity and richness of the topics show immediately how important the book is. The findings … to name a few, [such as] the deprioritization of evaluation during the crisis, the taken-for-grantedness of a number of underlying assumptions, describes [the] many efforts of evaluators."" Frans L Leeuw, Professor Law, Public Policy and Social Sciences, Maastricht University ""The strength of the book is the combination of the perspectives and the relevant insights they present. The book is undoubtedly timely, relevant, and important, not only for understanding what happened during the past years, but also in preparing for what will come."" Per Øyvind Bastøe, Associate professor, VID Specialized University, Oslo, Norway"
