Civic-republican theories of democracy assume that increased levels of civic engagement lead to good government and better public services. This paper tests this assumption by analysing the impact of civic culture on the rate of failure in English public services between 2002 and 2004. The interdependence between failing services and measures of civic culture is modelled using local authority area data. The results show that low levels of political participation, an 'individualist' political culture, less interpersonal trust and scant associational life, lead to more cases of public service failure, even when controlling for a range of environmental constraints. The findings are discussed and conclusions drawn on the impact of civic culture on public service improvement.

This five nation study is a genuine classic and still worth reading. The focus is the nature of civic culture in these various countries. What is the nature of the culture? How does it affect politics in each country? A comparative survey research method is used, with all the challenges inherent therein. The end result provokes considerable thought as to the extent to which cultural values actually affect politics.

Mafia expert Diego Gambetta has chosen to discuss Cose di Cosa Nostra by Giovanni Falcone on FiveBooks as one of the top five on his subject - Sicilian Mafia, saying that:

'The Civic Culture,' authored by Almond and Verba, was a major work, appearing in the earlier 1960s. It carried out research on political culture across a number of countries. This volume represents an update on the subject. As such, it provides an important temporal temporal perspective on the study of political culture. Too seldom do political scientists track political forces over time. This is a fine effort doing exactly that.
