The promotion of the culture of defence in spanish universities: Design evaluation of the collaboration Program of the Ministry of Defence

Abstract

This article presents a design evaluation of the Collaboration with Universities Program of the Spanish Ministry of Defence, which represents the planning and implementation instrument for the public policy to promote the culture of defence in that field. From the perspective of the policy analysis, it assesses its rationality, relevance, internal coherence and external coherence through various analytical techniques. On the one hand, this research is intended to deepen the knowledge of this policy and to evaluate the formulated alternative and, on the other hand, to offer a series of policy recommendations which could be useful for public decision-makers in the preparation of the new Culture of Defence Director Plan.
