Johns Hopkins SAIS to host “What Will Work Here: Version 2.0 of Policy Analysis and Evaluation,” with Dr. Robert Klitgaard on Wednesday, March 14, 2018

MEDIA ADVISORY
 
“What Will Work Here: Version 2.0 of Policy Analysis and Evaluation,” a discussion with Claremont Graduate University Professor Dr. Robert Klitgaard, will be hosted at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS).
 
The conversation will explore the standard ways a variety of stakeholders do, teach, and study policy analysis and evaluation. In broadening and deepening policy analysis and evaluation, the event will explore how to clarify objectives, expand alternatives, and build partnerships that lead to a stream of actions rather than a discrete decision.
 
Dr. Klitgaard will look beyond the study’s validity and the outcomes of its recommendations to assess whether the study helped people rethink objectives, enhance alternatives, and improve relationships.
