Abstract
Structural policy evaluation (SPE) practices in the European Economic Community (EEC) are examined. Whereas SPE in North America passed through four phases -- technical, descriptive, judgmental, & negotiating -- SPE in the EEC shares ingredients of only the first three phases. The primary question facing SPE in the EEC is whether SPE is to be used by administrative systems for preserving the disintegration of policies that has allowed these systems to reproduce themselves in the past or as an instrument for the improved integration of policies. SPE in the UK, Italy, France, Spain, Germany, Portugal, & Greece is discussed. 31 References. Adapted from the source document.
