The Emergence of Evaluation in Switzerland

Werner Bussmann

Federal Office of Justice, Switzerland, werner.bussmann{at}bj.admin.ch

This contribution portrays the institutionalization and practice of evaluation in Switzerland.The main actors and patterns of evaluation development patterns differ from those presented so far in relation to other countries. This raises questions regarding the relevance of the theories previously advanced.The entry points of evaluation into the political process are described.As suggested by other authors, evaluation up to now has a rather limited role in strategic political decision-making.

Key Words: governance • institutionalization of evaluation • legislation • policy formulation • political process • Switzerland
