Boulder, CO.: Westview Press, 1991. Scholarly text presents a cross-cultural exploration of the genesis of and change in basic political attitudes among people living in the capitol cities of Vienna and Warsaw. The authors reveal that as social bonds become weaker, specific forms of individualism appear. In Warsaw, individual or group egoism is exacerbated by a supply crisis and a lack of trust in official institutions. In Vienna, the high level of political, social, and economic security has become a strong incentive for withdrawl into privacy. Text analyzes the relationship between various aspects of political culture- elite political culture, mass political culture, and the attitudes of individuals toward authority structures. 190 pp.. First Edition. Soft Cover. New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
