Description
This book defines and introduces cultural theory to the field of political and social science. The original source of this theory is in the writings of Mary Douglas. The authors have collected her ideas, into a coherent theory of culture as a trait of institutions of different sizes. It is a great book that challenges much of traditional political science.
Description
Intellectually based on the work of anthropologist Mary Douglas, this volume presents a typology of five ways of life - egalitarianism, fatalism, individualism, hierarchy and autonomy - to serve as an analytic tool in examining people, culture and politics.
