The Stalinist system was blamed on a Russian proclivity for autocracy. Muslim men have been accused of an inclination to terrorism. Is political behavior really the result of cultural upbringing, or does the vast range of human political action stem more from institutional and structural constraints? This important new book carefully examines the role of institutions and civic culture in the establishment of political norms. Jackman and Miller methodically refute the Weberian cultural theory of politics and build in its place a persuasive case for the ways in which institutions shape the political behavior of ordinary citizens. Their rigorous examination of grassroots electoral participation reveals no evidence for even a residual effect of cultural values on political behavior, but instead provides consistent support for the institutional view. Before Norms speaks to urgent debates among political scientists and sociologists over the origins of individual political behavior. 606 $aPolitical culture 606 $aPolitical sociology 606 $aSocial norms 615 0$aPolitical culture. 615 0$aPolitical sociology. 615 0$aSocial norms. 676 $a306.2 700 $aJackman$b Robert W.$f1946-$0119968 701 $aMiller$b Ross A.$f1965-$01515576 712 02$aMichigan Publishing (University of Michigan) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780874703321 996 $aBefore norms$93751415 997 $aUNINA
