Revisiting Realistic Evaluation
Main Article Content
Abstract
Albeit some might argue that this review is a little late in coming, it is worth revisiting Pawson and Tilley’s 1997 book, Realistic Evaluation (reprinted in 1998, 2000, 2001, and 2002) as the debate about causation and evidence-based research and evaluation continues to be a topic of debate and concern in the evaluation and research communities (see A Call to Action: The First International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry and The Claremont Debate, in this issue of JMDE).
