In the advanced countries historians, political scientists, economists, psychologists and other social scientists, both as individuals and through the institutions where they work, play an important role in the making of policies in their countries. In the United States of America, for instance, social scientists regularly publish a very large number of books, papers and articles on the issues before nheir country. Similarly, the Rand Corporation of Santa Monica, which presently has some 550 members on its staff, prepares reports some of which are meant for policy makers only on a number of matters of public interest such as health, housing, energy, urban development, education, civil and criminal law, military strategy and world politics. The government gives due consideration to the recommendations of these social scientists when policies are made. In the developing countries the situation is, however, quite different. There the social scientists very rarely influence government policies.
