| Title Proper | What Is the Social Responsibility of Social Scientists to Influence National Security Affairs? |
| Language | ENG |
| Author | Levy, Yagil ; Yagil Levy |
| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Mainstream scholars of IR favor policy-relevant research, that is the agenda to influence government policymakers by offering policy recommendations. In this article, I offer a different perspective by presenting alternative arguments about social scientists’ responsibility to influence. By drawing on themes of public sociology and critical sociology, security studies and public policy, I argue that the core of this responsibility is to seek to influence policy via engagement with the public rather than with policymakers. |
