培育民主：美国的公民环境和政治社会化。詹姆斯·G. Gimpel，J.塞莱斯特莱和Jason E.舒克内希特华盛顿，华盛顿特区：布鲁金斯学会出版社，2003年。278便士。32.95美元政治社会化的学术研究在20世纪70年代中期开始急剧下降。这种螺旋式下降的一个根源在于研究未成年人的新鲜新奇越来越少。政治学家习惯于处理政治的“真实的世界”，一个由成年人占据和统治的世界。经过长时间的沉寂，研究在1990年代开始增加，并继续向前发展。这种复兴的一个驱动力来自于即将到来的人群中公民美德的下降，据说这是大多数西方国家的特征。第二个影响因素是前苏联的解体以及地球仪各地出现的过渡民主国家和新民主国家。为了了解每一种发展情况并提出可能的解决办法，各种机构和学者重新讨论公民发展问题，往往是为了加强对青年人公民美德的灌输。
Cultivating Democracy: Civic Environments and Political Socialization in America. By James G. Gimpel, J. Celeste Lay, and Jason E. Schuknecht. Washington, D.C.: Brookings Institution Press, 2003. 278p. $32.95. Scholarly studies of political socialization began a dramatic decline during the mid-1970s. One source of this downward spiral lay in the dwindling novelty of studying pre-adults. Political scientists are accustomed to dealing with the “real world” of politics, one occupied and ruled by adults. After a prolonged lull, research began to increase in the 1990s and has continued onward. One driving force in this renewal stems from the decline in civic virtue among upcoming cohorts said to characterize most Western countries. A second influence was the crumbling of the former Soviet Union and the appearance of transitional and new democracies around the globe. In an effort to understand each of these developments and to propose possible solutions, a variety of institutions and scholars have returned to the question of citizenship development, often with the intention of improving the inculcation of civic virtue among the young.
