Academic research on government may or may not be of value to those who govern today. It is, after all, motivated principally by the desire to advance knowledge, not to assist the public policy process at any given time. The latter may draw on, or be the specific motivation for, other research undertakings beyond academia. Of course it is also the case that any research, regardless of its principal motivation or institutional setting, may advance both knowledge and the public policy process.
