Tipo de material: TextoEditor: New York : Cambridge University Press, 2005Descripción: x, 333 p. : il., gràf., quadres ; 25 cm.ISBN: 9780521609715.Tema(s): Democràcia | Canvi social | Valors socialsGénero/Forma: DEMOCRACIA | CAMBIO SOCIAL | MODERNIZACIÓN | VALORESResumen: This book demonstrates that people's basic values and beliefs are changing, in ways that affect their political, sexual, economic, and religious behaviour. These changes are roughly predictable: to a large extent, they can be interpreted on the basis of a revised version of modernisation theory presented here. Drawing on a massive body of evidence from societies containing 85 percent of the world's population, the authors demonstrate that modernisation is a process of human development, in which economic development gives rise to cultural changes that make individual autonomy, gender equality, and democracy increasingly likely. The authors present a model of social change that predicts how the value systems play a crucial role in the emergence and flourishing of democratic institutions - and that modernisation brings coherent cultural changes that are conducive to democratisation.Tipo de ítem | Ubicación actual | Signatura | Estado | Notas | Fecha de vencimiento | Código de barras |
