Abstract
This article provides a quick pan-European overview of the role played by political science and scientists in the education and training of (future) top civil servants. It then raises two broader issues: the question of the ‘social usefulness’ of political science and the complex nature of the relationship between academics and decision-makers or social actors. The article concludes with a strong reassertion of the essential scientific autonomy of our discipline.
