This book contends that beneath the frenzied activism of the sixties and the seeming quiescence of the seventies, a ""silent revolution"" has been occurring that is gradually but fundamentally changing political life throughout the Western world. Ronald Inglehart focuses on two aspects of this revolution: a shift from an overwhelming emphasis on material values and physical security toward greater concern with the quality of life; and an increase in the political skills of Western publics that enables them to play a greater role in making important political decisions.

Inglehart weist nach, daß zwischen Einstellungsmustern von Menschen und politischen und/oder sozioökonomischen Variablen wie zum Beispiel Demokratie, Wachstumsraten, Werten in Familien, religiösen Normen bestimmte Beziehungen bestehen. Er leitet daraus Veränderungsmuster ab, die Zusammenhänge aufzeigen und bis zu einem gewissen Maß Prognosen ermöglichen. Insbesondere stellt er den Zusammenhang zwischen Einstellungen auf individueller Ebene und der Entwicklung und dem Fortbestehen demokratischer Institutionen auf der gesellschaftlichen Ebene her. Basis der Analyse ist eine einzigartige Datenbank: der World-Value-Survey, der zum ersten Mal Daten aus 43 Gesellschaften erfaßt hat - etablierten Demokratien mit Marktwirtschaften ebenso wie autoritären oder ehemals sozialistischen Staaten.

Las poblaciones de las diferentes sociedades se caracterizan por actitudes culturales duraderas que tienen consecuencias políticas y económicas importantes. Este articulo pone de manifiesto que, a lo largo del periodo 1973-1987, determinadas nacionalidades presentaban de forma sistemática niveles relativamente altos o bajos de una Cultura Cívica, es decir, un síndrome coherente de satisfacción personal ante la vida, satisfacción política, confianza interpersonal y apoyo al orden social existente. Las naciones que ocupan un lugar elevado en el ranking de este conjunto de actitudes también muestran una predisposición mucho mayor a ser democracias estables que las que se sitúan al final del este ranking.
