While improvement science has experienced a surge of interest over the past 30 years, applications of it are rare in the evaluation literature. This issue promotes the cross-fertilization of ideas, techniques, and tools between evaluation and improvement science. There are at least four areas where this cross-fertilization is particularly relevant: learning from error, examining variation, appreciating context, and focusing on systems change. This volume considers: the conceptual similarities and distinctions between improvement science and evaluation; the intellectual foundations, methods, and tools that collectively comprise improvement science; and case chapters that offer an inspiring review of state-of-the-art improvement science applications. Cutting across all of these applications is a shared grounding in systems thinking, a determination to capture and better understand variation and contextual complexity, as well as a sustained commitment to generative learning about projects and programs—all issues of great concern to evaluators. The issue offers producers and users of evaluations the potential benefits of a closer engagement with improvement science. This is the 153rd issue in the New Directions for Evaluation series from Jossey-Bass. It is an official publication ofthe American Evaluation Association.

Das Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei, auch Das Kommunistische Manifest genannt, wurde von Karl Marx und Friedrich Engels um die Jahreswende 1847/48 im Auftrag des Bundes der Kommunisten verfasst. Das Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei wurde in mehr als 100 Sprachen ?bersetzt. Im Juni 2013 wurde es in das UNESCO-Dokumentenerbe aufgenommen. Das Programm, in dem Marx und Engels bereits gro?e Teile der sp?ter als «Marxismus» bezeichneten Weltanschauung entwickeln, beginnt mit dem heute gefl?gelten Wort: «Ein Gespenst geht um in Europa – das Gespenst des Kommunismus» und endet mit dem bekannten Aufruf: «Proletarier aller L?nder, vereinigt euch!» Mit dem Kommunistischen Manifest wollte der Bund der Kommunisten seine Anschauungen darlegen. Das etwa 30 Seiten umfassende Werk beginnt mit einer Einleitung, gefolgt von vier Kapiteln. Karl Marx (1818-1883) war ein deutscher Philosoph, ?konom, Gesellschaftstheoretiker, politischer Journalist, Protagonist der Arbeiterbewegung sowie Kritiker der b?rgerlichen Gesellschaft und der Religion. Zusammen mit Friedrich Engels wurde er zum einflussreichsten Theoretiker des Sozialismus und Kommunismus. Bis heute werden seine Theorien kontrovers diskutiert.
