Modern social sciences have been committed to the improvement of
public policy. However, doubts have arisen about the possibility
and desirability of a policy-oriented social science. In this book,
leading specialists in the field analyse both the development and
failings of policy-oriented social science. In contrast to other
writings on the subject, this volume presents a distinctively
historical and comparative approach. By looking at earlier periods,
the contributors demonstrate how policy orientation has been
central to the emergence and evolution of the social sciences as a
form of professional activity. Case studies of rarely examined
societies such as Poland, Brazil and Japan further demonstrate the
various ways in which intellectual developments have been shaped by
the societal contexts in which they have emerged and how they have
taken part in the shaping of these societies.
