TL;DR: In this paper, the authors give an overview of several issues regarding evaluation policy, including defining it, identifying possible facets of evaluation policy and outlining the potentially greater role for evaluators in shaping the evaluation policies that influence evaluation practice.
Abstract: Evaluation policy is of considerable importance, especially in relation to the limited amount of attention it receives as a general topic in the mainstream evaluation literature. Evaluation policies matter for several reasons, among them that they can profoundly affect evaluation practice, they underlie many recent and current controversies about evaluation, and they may be a lever for change that can have far-reaching effects for practice. This chapter gives an overview of several issues regarding evaluation policy, including defining it, identifying possible facets of evaluation policy, describing how it is established, and outlining the potentially greater role for evaluators in shaping the evaluation policies that influence evaluation practice. © Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

TL;DR: In this paper, the 25th anniversary of the American Evaluation Association (AENA) is recognized by looking back to assess and celebrate accomplishments of the past and by looking ahead to anticipate the problems and potential of the future.
Abstract: 2011 is the 25th anniversary of the American Evaluation Association. Such occasions are often recognized both by looking back to assess and celebrate accomplishments of the past and by looking ahead to anticipate the problems and potential of the future. It is surprisingly difficult to think in fresh ways about the future. Our first inclination is to assume that what is happening now will somehow continue, perhaps in a slightly altered form, into the future. This expectation reflects the comforting assumption that the past predicts the future, an assumption sorely tested unfortunately when one tries to predict stock prices, winning sports teams, or political events. While it is important to consider how current activities may be leading us into future conditions, such speculations are not only unreliable, they do little to stimulate radically alternative visions of the future.
