摘要：This article discusses the political in evaluation with the concept of “looping effects” as a heuristic tool. National evaluation programs have multiple directions, towards the government and towards the public society. The relation between the government, the evaluation program and the public society creates different kinds of looping effects, some intentional and some unintentional. In this article we choose to focus on the unintentional side effects and argue that they might be possible to avoid, at least to some degree, if national evaluation programs take a greater part in constructing their own autonomy.
