This book re-evaluates Almond, Verba, and Pye's original ideas
about the shape of a civic culture that supports democracy.
Marshaling a massive amount of cross-national, longitudinal public
opinion data from the World Values Survey Association, the authors
demonstrate multiple manifestations of a deep shift in the mass
attitudes and behaviors that undergird democracy. The chapters in
this book show that in dozens of countries around the world,
citizens have turned away from allegiance toward a decidedly
'assertive' posture to politics: they have become more distrustful
of electoral politics, institutions, and representatives and are
more ready to confront elites with demands from below. Most
importantly, societies that have advanced the most in the
transition from an allegiant to an assertive model of citizenship
are better-performing democracies - in terms of both accountable
and effective governance.
