It is generally recognized that the theoretical status of studies on political culture is precarious, but the importance of the latter as a dimension of political societies is such that, despite its gaps, it must continue to be used as an analytical concept. After establishing the elements of a conceptual schema of culture, the interaction between political culture & social & political structures is discussed, & some methodological considerations are offered that are capable of strengthening empirical research against the biases inherent in functionalism. 1 Table, 1 Figure.
