Political Culture (defined as the values, beliefs, and behavioral
patterns underlying the political system) has long had an uneasy
relationship with political science. Identity politics is the
latest incarnation of this conflict. Everyone agrees that culture
and identity are important, specifically political culture, is
important in understanding other countries and global regions, but
no one agrees how much or how precisely to measure it. In this
important book, well known Comparativist, Howard J. Wiarda, traces
the long and controversial history of culture studies, and the
relations of political culture and identity politics to political
science. Under attack from structuralists, institutionalists,
Marxists, and dependency writers, Wiarda examines and assesses the
reasons for these attacks and why political culture went into
decline only to have a new and transcendent renaissance and revival
in the writings of Inglehart, Fukuyama, Putnam, Huntington and many
others. Today, political culture, now updated to include identity
politics, stands as one of these great explanatory paradigms in
political science, the others being structuralism and
institutionalism. Rather than seeing them as diametrically exposed,
Howard Wiarda shows how they may be made complementary and woven
together in more complex, multicausal explanations. This book is
brief, highly readable, provocative and certain to stimulate
discussion. It will be of interest to general readers and as a text
in courses in international relations, comparative politics,
foreign policy, and Third World studies.
