Større forvaltningsreformer og udfordringerne ved instrumentel læring: - En analyse af evalueringen af Nav-reformen

I 2005 blev NAV-reformen, en af de største forvaltningsreformer i Norge i nyere tid, vedtaget af det norske Storting.

Der tages afsæt i en teoretisk analyseramme, der både inddrager indsigter fra evaluerings – og policy læringslitteraturen.
