One of the standard textbooks of German-language evaluation research has undergone a new edition. Since the first edition from 2007, 15 years have passed. In the meantime, a lot has happened with regard to the institutionalisation and professionalisation of evaluation research. With the new edition of the Handbook for Evaluation, students, practitioners and also experienced evaluators receive a significantly expanded and updated version of the classic. The volume documents the steps taken so far in the institutionalisation and professionalisation of evaluation and provides practical advice for conducting evaluations throughout their entire course. Despite some desiderata, the handbook is still the most comprehensive introduction to evaluation research for many practitioners and students in German language. It offers orientation and serves as a reference work even for experienced evaluators. Stockmann’s commitment to the professionalisation and institutionalisation of evaluation has thus created an institution of its own kind in the form of the Handbook, the reception of which will hopefully help to clear up the misunderstandings often found about the status and quality characteristics of evaluations.

Europeanisation situates local governments in a constantly changing environment, bringing challenges, opportunities, and constraints. These circumstances raise the question, how
local authorities adapt to the process of European integration, face its challenges, and use
its diverse opportunity structures. The article explores four dimensions, through which Europeanisation hits the ground of local government: downloading, uploading, dissemi-nation, and horizontal networking. It examines the distribution of different types of Europe-related activities at the local level using data from a survey sent to all 396 independent cities, towns, and municipalities in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Our empirical analysis provides an overview of the most and least frequent Europe-related activities within the different types of local authorities. The findings of our multivariate analysis shows that next to the direct affectedness by Europeanisation, the municipalities’ capacities in terms of financial and institutional resources have a major influence on their efforts towards Europe.

Die nationale Koordination in europäisierten Politikfeldern gehört zweifelsohne zu jenen Bereichen, in denen die ministeriellen Organisationsstrukturen und Koordinationsmechanismen mit einer zunehmenden Komplexität der alltäglichen Problemstellungen konfrontiert sind. Dies stellt das politisch-administrative System der bundesdeutsche Ministerialbürokratie im zunehmend von der EU bestimmten Tagesgeschäft vor die Herausforderung, trotz veränderter Rah-menbedingungen Kohärenz und Konsistenz sowohl bei der Formulierung europapolitischer Positionen als auch der Umsetzung europäischen Rechts an den Tag zu legen.
In dem vorliegenden Beitrag werden die Strukturen und administrativen Verfahrensweisen bei der Implementation von EU-Recht in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland analysiert. Zu diesem Zweck werden zum einen die Erkenntnisse aus leitfadengestützten Interviews mit Ministerialbeamten aus dem BMI sowie BMAS zum Ablauf der administrativen Verfahrensweisen bei der Transposition von EU-Richtlinien dargestellt und zum anderen die Ergebnisse einer Befragung zur personellen Ausstattung der Bundesministerien präsentiert. Der Beitrag kommt zu dem Er-gebnis, die Organisationsstrukturen und administrativen Verfahrensweisen innerhalb der deutschen Ministerialverwaltung bei der Umsetzung von EU-Recht weitgehend einem dezentralen Koordinationsmuster entsprechen.
This chapter focuses on the impact of specific “administrative styles,” understood as the everyday routines of the organization, on the reform patterns in international organizations. Consolidators are hence primarily driven by positional rather than policy interests. Entre-preneurs combine the latter two types; they develop administrative routines that entail intensive bureaucratic advocacy in policy-making and a strong orientation toward institu-tional consolidation to strengthen the administration’s position. In contrast, the picture should be completely different for consolidators. Given consolidators’ dominant motivation to secure their institutional status and legitimacy, organizational reforms will to a far greater degree reveal patterns of emulation of dominant reform paradigms and reform ideas in their organizational environment. Public sector organizations adopted these reports from the private sector as a form of communication with external and internal stakeholders. Most reforms have been identified within the area of organizational reforms, for example, institutional adjustments of the directorates.
