Culture and Politics: A Comparative Approach provides a comprehensive introduction to the enduring phenomenon of culture and its impact on contemporary society and politics. Jan-Erik Lane and Svante Ersson combine both comparative political analysis and a theoretical overview to fully assess the complex interplay of ethnicity, religion, history and values on macro and micro political outcomes. In each instance the many concepts associated with cultural effects are introduced and their impact upon society, the economy and polity clearly modelled and assessed.
