The Paris Institute of Political Studies commonly referred to as Sciences Po is a prestigious and influential academic institution in the social sciences in France (legally a grande école). It was founded in 1872 to promote a new class of French politicians in the aftermath of the French defeat in the Franco-Prussian War of 1871, and remains the primary institution of higher learning for French political and administrative elite.
