%X The institutionalization of policy evaluation in Spain shows the limits and contradictions involved in implementing this practice in the public policy management cycle. The technocratic expectations that inspired in 2005 the creation of the Spanish State agency for evaluation is in sharp contrast to the political, bureaucratic and technical difficulties that the material implementation of this activity implied. The analysis of the Spanish case reveals how there are various types of tensions that cross the field of evaluation: structural tensions between political actors and government levels, methodological tensions concerning disposable evaluation approaches, and, in a more abstract level, tensions relating to rationalities involved in the development of the evaluative function. Ironing out these tensions depends on the political sense of the evaluation, be it either as a simple public management approach or as a practice geared at perfecting democracy.
