This book demonstrates that people's basic values and beliefs are
changing, in ways that affect their political, sexual, economic,
and religious behaviour. These changes are roughly predictable: to
a large extent, they can be interpreted on the basis of a revised
version of modernisation theory presented here. Drawing on a
massive body of evidence from societies containing 85 percent of
the world's population, the authors demonstrate that modernisation
is a process of human development, in which economic development
gives rise to cultural changes that make individual autonomy,
gender equality, and democracy increasingly likely. The authors
present a model of social change that predicts how the value
systems play a crucial role in the emergence and flourishing of
democratic institutions - and that modernisation brings coherent
cultural changes that are conducive to democratisation.
