Summary/Abstract: There has been a traditional distinction between policy analysis as a knowledge about a political process (scientific goal) and a knowledge for a political process (applied political goal). This latter goal is realized through consulting activity of policy analysis whereby they provide analytical information intended for each phase of the policy cycle: problem definition and goal selection; presentation of the alternative methods for the realization of these goals; assessment of the prospects for the realization of the solutions suggested and checking the success of the programmes realized. Specific analytical methods and models are associated with each of these phases. Consultancy oriented policy analysis presupposes not only problem oriented knowledge of specific policies but also the fundamental knowledge of political science.
