Significance of this Series
Evaluation has long entertained lofty ambitions. Emerging in the 1960s and 1970s as a new discipline and a practice (Michael Scriven calls this a ‘transdiscipline’) program evaluation was born of expansive times. Political and economic contexts have undergone numerous changes since then and evaluators have had to respond methodologically and politically. This series is aimed at documenting the responses, publishing thought and action where we see evaluation ‘advancing’. Volumes may also provide milestone statements helping to chart the pathways being taken by this still emergent discipline.
This series and scholastic accomplishment
This is a prestigious series, issued by a prestigious publisher to the highest standards of quality and production. Each volume is expected to be a position statement in its field.

Emerald promise rapid movement from submission of manuscript to publication within six months.
Themes and focus
The series seeks contributions which reveal evaluation thinking and practices where the discipline is advancing. Advances may come in different forms:
- Developments in methodology, such as where evaluators embrace narrative approaches or confront the challenge of ethics;
- Responses to changing contexts, such as where evaluation meets the challenges of the New Public Management or global recession;
- Where evaluative roles and practices are being reconceived in new fields of action – such as the criminal justice sector or international development;
- Where we are at an identifiable point of reflection on the role of evaluation – such as in the run-up to the Millennium Project;
- Where evaluation seeks to position itself in intellectual histories – such as reflecting on the relationship between evaluation and science or evaluation and postmodernism.
