“Duffy’s new book engages with the many uses and abuses of evaluation in UK politics. … Duffy compares the many ways in which people could, do, and should use evaluation to inform policy and policymaking. … As such, Duffy’s book stands out as a critical theoretical take on the role of evidence in policy making and evaluation. I commend to people who want to broaden their horizons.” (Paul Cairney, Paul Cairney: Politics & Public Policy, paulcairney.wordpress.com, May, 2018)
