Analysis of the Policy eva‎luation an‎d its Impact on Good Governance (Comparative Study on Iran an‎d Norway)

علوم سياسي

Abstract This study conducts a comparative analysis of policy eva‎luation processes in Iran an‎d Norway. The primary objective is to examine the impact of policy eva‎luation on the indicators of good governance an‎d the overall quality of policymaking in these two countries. Policy eva‎luation is recognized as a key instrument for enhancing transparency, accountability, an‎d governmental effectiveness. Accordingly, this research investigates how eva‎luation processes can contribute to improving governance an‎d the efficiency of public policies in political an‎d institutional contexts that differ significantly. A mixed-methods approach was employed. In the qualitative component, content analysis an‎d thematic coding were conducted on official documents, reports, an‎d academic studies related to policy eva‎luation in Iran an‎d Norway. In the quantitative component, governance indicators such as the Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) an‎d the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) were used to compare an‎d analyze the effects of eva‎luation practices in both countries. The empirical basis of this study consists of secondary data drawn from governmental reports, peer-reviewed articles, an‎d international databases. The findings demonstrate that in Norway, policy eva‎luation processes are conducted regularly an‎d transparently through independent oversight institutions, the parliament, an‎d civil society. These mechanisms have strengthened accountability, transparency, an‎d the effectiveness of policies. By contrast, in Iran, policy eva‎luations are often subject to political interference an‎d lack transparency, which has reduced their efficiency an‎d undermined effective responsiveness to public needs. This weakness is particularly evident in areas such as subsidy policies, environmental regulation, an‎d social programs. The comparative analysis further shows that in Norway, independent oversight bodies such as the Office of the Auditor General an‎d parliamentary committees play a critical role in improving eva‎luation processes an‎d increasing policy effectiveness. In Iran, however, the absence of independent institutions, coupled with limited transparency an‎d restricted access to information, has prevented eva‎luations from meaningfully contributing to policy improvement. Based on these findings, the study proposes several recommendations for enhancing policy eva‎luation in Iran, including the establishment of an independent eva‎luation authority, strengthening transparency an‎d access to information, an‎d adopting modern technologies for data collection an‎d analysis. These measures could help improve governance, enhance policy effectiveness, an‎d increase governmental accountability in Iran.
