Additional Information Additional Information : This paper is based on a commissioned keynote address to the Annual Conference of the Australasian Evaluation Association (2001). The author was invited on the basis of his standing in the then current transatlantic debates about deliberative democratic evaluation. It is an analysis of democratic evaluation and its implications for the nature of 'engagement' - principally with civil society. 'Engagement' stands for the regulation of relationships and obligations the evaluator has towards the evaluated. The paper focuses on how evaluation offers itself as social/community capital. The analysis of program classification was a precursor to the fuller treatment in the AERA Handbook chapter.
