Political practice and academic discourse similarly assume that the local level has the poten-tial to strengthen political cohesion in the European Union: it is the tier closest to citizens and implements a large share of European legislation. But what political cohesion actually is and how it can be achieved is less clear. The paper addresses this gap by analysing the local framing of political cohesion in Europe. Drawing on case studies in eight German cities, local Europe-related networks are investigated, focusing on how their ideas about their role in crafting political cohesion links to their Europe-related activities.
Die kommunale Europaarbeit ist mit einer Vielzahl von Herausforderungen konfrontiert. In diesem Working Paper stellen wir Beispiele bester Praktiken vor, die unterschiedliche Aspek-te dieser Herausforderungen adressieren. Von der Fördermittelakquise über Netzwerkarbeit, Zielgruppenansprache und Städtepartnerschaftsarbeit bis hin zur internen Europaarbeit finden sich ganz unterschiedliche Beispiele, wie Europaarbeit lokal organisiert werden kann. Die Steckbriefe geben dabei eine schnelle Übersicht, mit welchem Ressourcenaufwand das jeweilige Projekt durchgeführt werden kann und beinhalten Hinweise zu Herausforderungen und Nutzen des Projekts. So können Ideen einfach und passgenau adaptiert werden.
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.
