Political Culture

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Studies in Comparative Politics ((STCPH))

Abstract

If the ways of studying Soviet politics discussed in the previous two chapters have already contributed much important work, the study of Soviet political culture possesses at best a potential significance. Arguments in favour of such a study must rest more upon an assessment of the intrinsic importance of political culture to an understanding of the politics of particular societies than upon the quantity and quality of existing studies of Soviet political culture. These are few in number and not especially remarkable for their insight.
