Title: Carrots, Sticks, and Sermons: The Triad and the Book.
Authors: Vedung, Evert1
Source: Journal of MultiDisciplinary Evaluation. 2025, Vol. 21 Issue 50, p55-62. 8p.
Subject Terms: *Experimental design, Dogma, Metaphor, Possibility
Abstract: Background: That evaluation results should come to use is a dogma in the evaluation community. One way of making evaluations useful (better criterion than use) is to construe their evaluands as cases of something more general. One possibility is to focus on the policy-instruments part of the evaluands, in particular their power content. Purpose: This article is about carrots, sticks, and sermons, a general framework (presented in a book by the same name) for evaluating classifying and labeling the policy-instruments part of interventions. Setting: Not applicable. Intervention: Not applicable. Research Design: Not applicable. Findings: Unexpectedly, the trifold framework and the book have been quite successful as far as sold copies and citations are concerned. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
