Abstract

Recent developments in research on the institutionalization of policy evaluation offer new perspectives for understanding evaluation capacity development. This theoretical article focusses on mechanisms that contribute to ensuring the development and the stability of evaluative practice and suggests a typology for institutional evaluation methods. By combining reflections borrowed from the comparative approach in the social sciences and new institutionalism theories, it opens new avenues for research in this field of analysis. It also identifies the major characteristics of an evaluation method, focusing on two dimensions (openness and results) to outline an ideal-typical model.
