Book Description:

This book explains why and how cultural norms affect political attitudes and behavior, as well as how this 'normative reality'-centered framework connects the findings of scholars of Asian politics with the mainstream literature in comparative politics. Using multiple surveys from mainland China and Taiwan, the book shows how cultural norms, independent of structural and institutional factors, significantly shape political trust, participation, and understanding of democracy.
