Opis

This book uses surveys, statistics, and case studies to explain why and how cultural norms affect political attitudes and behavior.

Recenzje

'The book has many strong points. Especially noteworthy is its extensive discussion of how to think about culture as influencing both attitudes and behavior. A second strength is the close fit between the theoretical discussion and the empirical analyses that follow.' Fritz Gaenslen, Journal of Chinese Political Science
