چکیده:
This article first introduces an analytical overview of a branch of political science that has remained relatively unknown in Iran, and then discusses its potential achievements for Iranian society and especially political science researchers. Policy sciences are a reaction to the increasing demands of society and its public institutions from politicians to solve political, social, and administrative problems and crises. According to some thinkers, political science, by limiting itself to general discussions, has paid less attention to solving clear, objective, and everyday societal problems; however, with the invention of policy sciences within political science, this goal will be realized. The expansion of policy sciences will open the way for political science researchers in Iran, like in other countries where this field has developed, to applied research and governmental administrative affairs, and connect political science to the clear and everyday needs of society. Furthermore, a policy science researcher can be effective in removing ambiguity from some thoughts in present-day Iran and proposing clear executive discussions for the country.

He defines the characteristic of being problem-solving as linking political science to real-world issues 4 and not just remaining within academic boundaries, and finally, by calling policy sciences explicitly normative, “Lasswell” argues that policymaking should not insist on scientific objectivity 5, but rather accept that separating goals from tools, or values from techniques, is not possible in the study of government activities.
