Tianjian Shi shows how cultural norms affect political attitudes
and behavior through two causal pathways, one at the individual
level and one at the community level. Focusing on two key norms -
definition of self-interest and orientation to authority - he tests
the theory with multiple surveys conducted in mainland China and
Taiwan. Shi employs multi-level statistical analysis to show how,
in these two very different political systems, similar norms exert
similar kinds of influence on political trust, understanding of
democracy, forms of political participation, and tolerance for
protest. The approach helps to explain the resilience of
authoritarian politics in China and the dissatisfaction of many
Taiwan residents with democratic institutions. Aiming to place the
study of political culture on a new theoretical and methodological
foundation, Shi argues that a truly comparative social science must
understand how culturally embedded norms influence decision making.
