{"product_id":"the-cultural-logic-of-politics-tianjian-shi-9781316608463","title":"The Cultural Logic of Politics in Mainland China and Taiwan","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tianjian Shi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1316608468\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781316608463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/20\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 315\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.66d","brand":"Tianjian Shi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978388603135,"sku":"9781316608463","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9b1e07bf-4115-4361-899d-77968fd53ca1.jpg?v=1683241279","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cultural-logic-of-politics-tianjian-shi-9781316608463","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
