Political Culture and Democracy in Developing Countries: Textbook Edition

Booknews

Deriving from a conference at the Hoover Institution, the chapters in this volume, though encompassing a wide range of regions, methods, and foci, all highlight the profound linkages between political culture and democracy. The volume is divided into four major parts: historical and comparative perspectives; intellectuals, higher education, and democracy; state elites and mass political culture; and religion, political culture, and democracy. An introduction and conclusion are provided by editor Diamond, and a foreword by Gabriel Almond. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
