Items related to Culture and Politics: A Comparative Approach
Synopsis
Whether and how culture matters in the current age of globalization are the questions pursued in this comparative empirical study. From a newer cultural analysis approach to political science (as vs. the prevailing rational choice framework), Lane (U. of Geneva, Switzerland) and Ersson (Umea U., Sweden) overview concepts of culture and investigate trends in the macro- and micro-level impact of culture on political and socioeconomic outcomes. To identify regional variations by ethnicity and religion, they studied the US, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium, and India. For individual values, they analyzed data from World Values Surveys from the 1980s to mid-1990s. A longitudinal analysis traces legacies of colonial heritages. Data set descriptions are appended.

Review
'Culture and Politics is both important and timely...The authors have brought back in culture - a feature that appeared to have disappeared in today's approaches to politics and policy...a "must-read" for each and every student in comparative politics. The book is an important contribution to political science...not only academically important, but also a rich source of well-founded information for politicians, policy-makers and journalists. I will certainly use this book in my own work and for teaching political science.' Professor Hans Keman, Vrije University Amsterdam, President of the Dutch Political Science Association and Editor of Acta Politica 'Culture and Politics makes three important contributions: It charts a major field of research in terms of theories, concepts and data. It has a rigorous systematic comparative approach based on large sets of micro and macro data. And it is highly provocative, inciting further inquiries about a theme which is of outstanding relevance, both scientifically as well as politically.' Klaus Armingeon, University of Berne, Switzerland and Director, Institute of Political Science, Switzerland
