In the first part of this article a comprehensive understanding of political advice is explicated. In this context reference is made to the value judgement dispute in German sociology and a differentiation between an enlightening and a critical function of scientific policy advice. Development of social scientific policy advice is considered against the background of the distinction between technocratic, decisionistic and pragmatic models of counseling. In the second part of the article, the committee of inquiry on demographic change, the national reports on aging and the reviews on the development of the healthcare system are considered as practical examples of policy advice.
