Siyasal Kültür Teorisi: 'The Civic Culture' ve Eleştirisi

II. Dünya Savaşı geride siyaset bilimciler için çözülmesi gereken önemli sorular bırakmıştır. Bu sorulardan biri demokrasilerin istikrarlı olmasının ya da çökmesinin neye bağlı olduğuna yöneliktir. Gabriel A. Almond ve Sidney Verba bu sorunun cevabının siyasal-kültürel olduğunu düşünmüşlerdir. Bu düşünce onları 5 ülkede (ABD, İngiltere, Almanya, İtalya ve Meksika) yürütülen kapsamlı bir çalışma yapmaya yöneltmiştir. Bu çalışma 'The Civic Culture' adı altında 1963 yılında yayınlanmıştır. Bu çalışma ile beraber siyasal kültür de bir kuram olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu makalenin amacı, 'The Civic Culture' çalışmasının ve ona yöneltilen temel eleştirilerin kapsamlı bir değerlendirmesini yapmaktır.

The heoıy ofPolitical Culture: 'The Civic Culture' and its Critique

The World War II left important questions unanswered for political scientists. One of those questions is the causes of stability or collapse of democracy. Gabriel A. Almond and Sidney Verba believe that the answer to this question lays at the intersection of culture and politics. They have done a comprehensive research based on the analysis of five countries (the US, the UK, Germany, Italy, and Mexico). The results of this research were presented in their work 'The Civic Culture' published in 1963, giving rise to the political culture as a theory. The aim of this article is to make a comprehensive analysis of 'The Civic Culture' and the most important critiques of it.
