  • "Cultural Theory as Political Science is the first major European political science book to discuss the growing interdisciplinary field of cultural theory. Conventional fields of political research - for example, policy analysis, voting behaviour, and international relations - have so far relied on paradigms such as neo-institutionalism and rational choice. This book challenges and complements those paradigms. Going to the heart of political science methodology, Cultural Theory as Political Science proposes a coherent and viable alternative to mainstream political science. The focus of analysis is social solidarity which comprises three mutually supportive, analytically distinct features: social relations, cultural bias and behavioural strategy. The authors argue that these elements illuminate political questions at a level of analysis on any scale level: from the household to the state; the international regime to the political party. Accessible and entertainingly written, this book presents user-friendly cultural theory. It will be a welcome alternative to political scientists as well as by those in other fields of research who are looking for an unconventional approach.; Foreword Introduction 1. Cultural Theory as Political Science Michael Thompson, Gunnar Grendstad and Per Selle Preferences Introduction 2."
