| Abstract: | Since 1990, governments have been putting greater emphasis on the evaluation of regional policies, but, as the author will argue, only limited lessons can be drawn from these evaluations, and their capacity to produce and facilitate the accumulation of knowledge and learning has been restricted. Thus, the objective of this paper is to summarise the limitations of the current approach to evaluating such policies (mainly value-for-money studies) and to explore the potential of new approaches. For this reason, the author reviews the problems with and criticisms made of evaluation practice and the author presents, very briefly, the theory-based evaluation model as applied to the assessment of regional policy, with the intention of exploring its potential advantages. |
