Abstract

Political communication and evaluation are both activities tightly linked to politics. An empirical example drawn from the French public employment service in the early 90's shows that they nevertheless are determined by different standards. Doctoring figures and window-dressing may pass as acceptable in political communication, but not in evaluation practice, at least in evaluation practice as it is commonly seen in the international community of evaluators.
