Review "Political Cultures in Asia and Europe is a study of attitudes to political and social life among the citizens of eighteen countries in Western Europe and East and Southeast Asia. Drawing on data from the largest cross-national survey on political culture for the last half a century, this book assesses how political culture differs across the two regions and whether this can be drawn back to a profound difference in basic societal values, or 'Asian values'. Examining geographical, religious and socio-economic factors, the authors discuss whether there really is a common political value in the two regions or a profound difference as these countries move towards modernity and beyond."--Jacket.
