(民85) 《公民文化》，台北：五南。
政治學的經典之作《公民文化》中描述英國政治文化說：「英國被視為混合參與文化與臣屬文化的中庸政治文化代表」，因此反對激烈的改革及變遷。這種臣屬文化型塑了英國人的穩重保守性格，以致皇室得以至今不廢。
皇室越來越失去它的神聖性，逐漸世俗化。這次婚禮大典，是皇室作為儀式性和圖騰性的表演，以彰顯自己的抽象價值。
A political culture characterized by (1) most citizens' acceptance of the authority of the state, but also (2) a general belief in participation in civic duties.
The term was systematically deployed in Gabriel Almond and Sidney Verba's influential 1963 book, The Civic Culture, and revived in their The Civic Culture Revisited (1980).
Prompted by a concern about a perceived problem of political stability in Western democracies, the civic culture model suggested that a polity in which citizens were informed about political issues, and involved in the political process, could not of itself sustain a stable democratic government.
The civic culture is seen as an allegiant political culture in which political participation is mixed with passivity, trust, and deference to authority. Traditionality and commitment to parochial values are seen as balancing involvement and rationality.
The Civic Culture provided a five-nation study of citizen values and attitudes viewed as supportive of a democratic political system.
In the mainstream of behavioural analysis when it was first published, the book has been somewhat eclipsed by the emphasis on policy analysis. Its concerns about the survival of democracy in Western societies now seem somewhat misplaced. The spread of higher levels of education through the population has encouraged new forms of participation in politics, such as social movements and campaigning interest groups.
