The first of the two cases concerns the EU open method of coordination (OMC) in employment and social-protection policies, and the second is on international evaluation standards. In practice, evaluation hardly conforms to the ideal types and is deeply embedded in its structural and temporal contexts. Acknowledgement of this is crucial in the pursuance of better evaluation research and practice. - Reproduced. aBourdieu, Pierre aSocial welfare aInternational Journal of Public Administration aN a79648 c79648d79648 00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 31, Issue no: 10-11pAR80108r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
