Abstract
In the first part of the article the author gives basic information about evaluation research as a specific form of applicative sociology dealing with design and the evaluation of political and institutional reforms. In the second part the relation between politics and science (applicative sociology and social sciences) is analysed. The author concludes that sociology !is becoming a science dealing with applicative and developmental research and not only with fundamental research. Because of the possibility of misuse and the negative politization of science, sociologists as a scientific community have to systematically study the mode of production, dissemination and the use of sociological knowledge.
