Because the elected official requires the civil servant's expertise and the latter owes its survival to its political superior, many see this interface as a strategic opportunity. This dynamic scoping review of the existing literature gathers the main works about strategic transmission of information in a descriptive framework tailored to the needs of practitioners in the state apparatus. Since strategy is likely to influence the output of a decision, formal literature should be considered as a toolbox able to optimize information transmission. Aware of this reality, the public actors break the strategic determinism of such exchanges.
