“The Institutionalisation of Evaluation in AsiaPacific” edited by Reinhard Stockmann, Wolfgang Meyer, and Niklas Zierke (2023), assesses evaluation systems in 11 AsiaPacific countries. The book is the third of the series called Evaluation Globe. The review highlights the theoretical and analytical framework of the study, which analyses the institutionalization level of the evaluation from the political, social, and professional dimensions. The comparative analysis between countries with diverse sizes, economic development levels, and forms of government prompts a discussion on the definition of evaluation, its role in supporting more democratic and inclusive societies, and ways to counter purely formal evaluation processes. The review underscores the volume's value as a resource for scholars, policymakers, and professionals.

Keywords: institutionalization; evaluation; comparison; ranking.
