Evaluating Evaluation in Ethnic Conflict Resolution: Themes from, and Commentary on, the Haverford-Bryn Mawr Conference

As part of our project, we convened a small conference on issues of evaluation in ethnic conflict interventions which we called ‘Evaluating Evaluation’. The 40 or so attendees included scholars, scholar-practitioners, area studies experts, and foundation officers. We asked Joe Folger, a scholar who has thought a good deal about the goals and practices of conflict resolution to reflect on the conference’s discussion of evaluation in ethnic conflict resolution (Bush and Folger, 1994).
