Abstract	Evaluation has always been an intrinsic part of policy making. Governments have never dispensed with evaluation in the sense of keeping track of policy developments and expenditure. In those systems where governments laid down the basic framework conditions for degrees and course content and set out the conditions of academic employment, they have, by dint of prescribing such conditions, the power to ascertain whether they are observed or not, and thus, the power to enforce their observance. ... In this article, I set out to examine the rise of the Evaluative State both as a species of ' crisis management' but also as a rather longer term outcome of a series of tensions embedded within the drive in Western Europe towards mass higher education. In essense, I argue that the Evaluative State reflects an attempt to go beyond historic modes of evaluation, to enforce more precise and more rapid responses from institutions of higher education by devising a highly elaborate and more widely ranging instrumentality of judgement than existed earlier.
