George Applications of Sustainability Evaluation at the National and International Strategic Policy

چکیده
This paper describes two applications of evaluation techniques for the promotion of sustainable development in national and international policy-making. The first is based on a programme of work being undertaken for the European Commission, to carry out Sustainability Impact Assessments of the current round of WTO Trade Negotiations (Kirkpatrick et al 2002). The second application described is the development of a framework and criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of national sustainable development strategies, undertaken for the UK Department of International Development and the OECD Development Assistance Committee (Kirkpatrick, George and Curran 2001).
