Machine generated contents note: Part I. Theory of Popular Culture: 1. Political culture theory and regime stability; 2. Cultural norms in the East and West; 3. Measuring cultural norms in mainland China and Taiwan; 4. The relationship among culture, structure, and institutions; Part II. Culture's Impacts on Politics: 5. The impact of culture on political trust; 6. Cultural impacts on political participation; 7. Cultural impacts on people's understanding of democracy; 8. Conclusion and theoretical reflection.

Tianjian Shi shows how cultural norms affect political attitudes and behavior through two causal pathways, one at the individual level and one at the community level. Focusing on two key norms - definition of self-interest and orientation to authority - he tests the theory with multiple surveys conducted in mainland China and Taiwan. Shi employs multi-level statistical analysis to show how, in these two very different political systems, similar norms exert similar kinds of influence on political trust, understanding of democracy, forms of political participation, and tolerance for protest. The approach helps to explain the resilience of authoritarian politics in China and the dissatisfaction of many Taiwan residents with democratic institutions. Aiming to place the study of political culture on a new theoretical and methodological foundation, Shi argues that a truly comparative social science must understand how culturally embedded norms influence decision making.
