Ray C. Rist, Series EditorComparative poliCy evaluation SerieS
The Comparative Policy Evaluation series is an interdisciplinary and internationally focused set of books that embodies within it a strong emphasis on comparative analyses of governance issues—drawing from all continents and many different nation-
states. The lens through which these policy initiatives are viewed and reviewed is that of evaluation. These evaluation assessments are done mainly from the perspectives of sociology, anthropology, economics, policy science, auditing, law, and human rights. The books also provide a strong longitudinal perspective on the evolution of the policy issues being analyzed.

ABOUT THE SERIES EDITOR
Volume 23 Doing Public Good?Private Actors, Evaluation, and Public ValueR. Pablo Guerrero O. and Peter Wilkins, editors With a foreword by Ray C. Rist This book examines contributions of non-public organizations, such as founda-tions, philanthropies, charities, private businesses, and entrepreneurs to public goods and services. Too often such private actors are overlooked despite playing an increasing role in meeting societal needs across the developing world. Doing Public Good? lays out key elements that need to be considered in evaluating the net results achieved by these private actors through case studies and analysis.ISBN: 978-1-4128-6246-2 (hardcover) 2016 238 pp. $59.95ISBN: 978-1-4128-6201-1 (eBook)*
Volume 22 Success in EvaluationFocusing on the Positives
Steffen Bohni Nielsen, Rudi Turksema, and Peter van der Knaap, editorsSuccess in Evaluation takes a fundamen-tally different approach to the mainstream discussion of evaluation quality, utilization, and learning. The contributors believe that a systematic focus on success will lead to increased awareness of evaluation and its findings, a more positive attitude, and a greater chance of actual evaluation in use. It is a realistic look at performance man-agement, the evidence movement, and the barriers blocking the role evaluators can play in organizational learning and decision-making.ISBN: 978-1-4128-5568-6 (hardcover) 2015 245 pp. $59.95ISBN: 978-1-4128-5550-1 (eBook)*
