Small, Slow, and Gradual Reform
In this article, the issue of “small, slow and gradual reform” is explored, particularly from the perspective of “historical institutionalism.” Historically grown and solidified institutions explain why change usually is only small, slow, and gradual.

Evaluation in Multi-Actor Policy Processes
Two main functions of evaluation are enabling accountability and collective learning. Both of these – and their combination – run into diverse complications when applied in complex multi-actor policy processes. The article explores these complications and illustrates them with examples from the field of spatial policy. In doing so, a third function of evaluation in such contexts is identified, viz. evaluation as an instrument of co-operation. Nex…
Evaluation and the Social Construction of Impacts

A structural constructivist theoretical framework is developed and applied to two case studies, both of which take a report by the Dutch Court of Audit (CoA) as a starting point. A reconstruction is made of the intra- and interorganizational processes through which the impacts of these evaluations were socially constructed. It appears tha…
