Abstract

This book presents findings based on a unique source of insight into the role of human values--the World Values Survey and the European Values Survey, covering 78 societies containing over 80 per cent of the world's population. The findings reveal large and coherent cross-national differences in what people want out of life. Four waves of surveys, from 1981 to 1999-2001, reveal the impact of changing values on societal phenomena. Evidence from eleven Islamic societies demonstrates that a distinctive Islamic culture exists-but the democratic ideal is endorsed overwhelmingly. Other analyses examine Gender Equality and Democracy; Corruption and Democracy; Social Capital in Vietnam; the Clash of Civilization; political satisfaction in global perspective; Trust in International Governance; and Israeli and South African values.

Abstract

Ronald Inglehart argues that economic development, cultural change, and political change go together in coherent and even, to some extent, predictable patterns. This is a controversial claim. It implies that some trajectories of socioeconomic change are more likely than others--and consequently that certain changes are foreseeable. Once a society has embarked on industrialization, for example, a whole syndrome of related changes, from mass mobilization to diminishing differences in gender roles, is likely to appear. These changes in worldviews seem to reflect changes in the economic and political environment, but they take place with a generational time lag and have considerable autonomy and momentum of their own. But industrialization is not the end of history. Advanced industrial society leads to a basic shift in values, de-emphasizing the instrumental rationality that characterized industrial society. Postmodern values then bring new societal changes, including democratic political institutions and the decline of state socialist regimes. To demonstrate the powerful links between belief systems and political and socioeconomic variables, this book draws on a unique database, the World Values Surveys. This database covers a broader range than ever before available for looking at the impact of mass publics on political and social life. It provides information from societies representing 70 percent of the world's population--from societies with per capita incomes as low as

Abstract

Seminal thinkers of the nineteenth century - Auguste Comte, Herbert Spencer, Emile Durkheim, Max Weber, Karl Marx, and Sigmund Freud - all predicted that religion would gradually fade in importance and cease to be significant with the emergence of industrial society. The belief that religion was dying became the conventional wisdom in the social sciences during most of the twentieth century. During the last decade, however, the secularization thesis has experienced the most sustained challenge in its long history. The traditional secularization thesis needs updating. Religion has not disappeared and is unlikely to do so. Nevertheless, the concept of secularization captures an important part of what is going on. This book develops a theory of secularization and existential security. Sacred and Secular is essential reading for anyone interested in comparative religion, sociology, public opinion, political behavior, political development, social psychology, international relations, and cultural change.

Abstract

Authoritarian populist parties have advanced in many countries, and entered government in states as diverse as Austria, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, and Switzerland. Even small parties can still shift the policy agenda, as demonstrated by UKIP's role in catalyzing Brexit. Drawing on new evidence, this book advances a general theory why the silent revolution in values triggered a backlash fuelling support for authoritarian-populist parties and leaders in the US and Europe. The conclusion highlights the dangers of this development and what could be done to mitigate the risks to liberal democracy.

Abstract

Les événements du 11 septembre 2001 et leurs répercussions en Afghanistan et en Irak ont ébranlé les théories scientifiques relatives à ± la fin de l'histoire et aux dividendes de la paix postérieure à la guerre froide. L'étude de la religion s'est retrouvée soudain sous les feux de la rampe. Les conflits religieux sont-ils désormais le problème central ? Les prophéties annonçant un nouveau ± choc des civilisations se réalisent-elles ? Le processus de sécularisation est-il en train de réduire le rôle de la religion dans la vie quotidienne ou les grandes religions mondiales connaissent-elles une forte reviviscence ? Pour répondre à ces questions, Pippa Norris et Ronald Inglehart ont exploité un corpus important de données empiriques recueillies dans un très grand nombre de sociétés de type très différent, réparties dans le monde entier. A partir des idées développées par Weber et Durkheim il y a un siècle, ils élaborent un nouveau cadre théorique pour comprendre comment l'expérience de la sécurité existentielle influence le processus de sécularisation. Ils montrent de façon convaincante que les populations les plus vulnérables restent les plus attachées à la religiosité, surtout (mais pas exclusivement) dans les pays les plus pauvres et les Etats en faillite. A l'inverse, dans les franges les plus prospères des nations riches, les pratiques, les valeurs et les croyances religieuses sont en érosion constante. Mais si les populations de quasi toutes les sociétés industrielles avancées se sont de plus en plus laïcisées au cours du dernier demi-siècle, leurs taux de fécondité ont enregistré une chute brutale. Au total, le monde compte plus d'individus qui adhèrent à des conceptions religieuses traditionnelles que par le passé ? et ils représentent une part croissante de la population mondiale. Salué lors de sa publication en anglais comme un ouvrage fondateur par l'American Journal of Sociology, les Comparative Political Studies, le Journal of the Scientific Study of Religion, cet ouvrage solidement argumenté et d'une lecture agréable séduira autant le monde académique que le lecteur curieux de comprendre les évolutions majeures de notre temps (4e de couv.)

Abstract

In uneasy partnership at the helm of the modern state stand elected party politicians and professional bureaucrats. This book is the first comprehensive comparison of these two powerful elites. In seven countries--the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy, and the Netherlands--researchers questioned 700 bureaucrats and 6OO politicians in an effort to understand how their aims, attitudes, and ambitions differ within cultural settings. One of the authors' most significant findings is that the worlds of these two elites overlap much more in the United States than in Europe. But throughout the West bureaucrats and politicians each wear special blinders and each have special virtues. In a well-ordered polity, the authors conclude, politicians articulate society's dreams and bureaucrats bring them gingerly to earth
