摘要
The New Political culture, which began to take shape in the 1970s, continues to challenge many assumptions of traditional politics, especially on issues of environmentalism, growth management, gay rights, and abortion. Concerned mostly with home, consumption, and lifestyle, the New Politics emerges fully in cities with more highly educated citizens, higher incomes, and more high-tech service occupations. Leadership does not come from parties, unions, or ethnic groups but rather shifts from issue to issue: leaders on abortion are distinct from leaders on environmental issues. Based on data gathered by the Fiscal Austerity and Urban Innovation Project, the most extensive study of local government in the world to date, this book provides an explicit analysis of the social structural characteristics that encourage or discourage the New Political culture.

The editors of this volume bring together a methodologically sophisticated set of papers that examine the "New Political Culture"--a style of politics distinguished by its focus on issues, the decline of partisan loyalty, the reduction in class-based politics, the rise of social issues, and the like. They further examine where these patterns have emerged most strongly and why this is the case in studies of local officials, political parties, and other subsystem components of various political systems around the world. While the work is sophisticated, two problems emerge. It is not always clear why the particular question being analyzed is derived from the broader theoretical claims the papers make; sometimes it appears that theory is stretched to cover statistical observations. Second, nowhere in the text do the editors or the authors ever discuss political culture as a concept--i.e., what it is, how it works, what shapes it, and what it influences, etc. Therefore, the title seems awkward: the new political style may or may not be a culture; without a discussion of the concept, it is hard to tell. Recommended at the graduate level and above. A. L. Crothers; Illinois State University
