对政治文化理论最具说服力的批评是,它对政治变革的应对非常不足。这有一个很好的理由:政治文化方法的假设实际上导致了对连续性的期望。但是,连续性可以与变化相调和,尽管只是特定种类的变化。政治变革的性质与文化主义者的假设以及文化主义者对连续性的期望是一致的,在这里通过以下假设来说明:(1)社会背景变化的影响,无论是“正常的”还是涉及突然的不连续性,以及(2)试图进行的革命转型的影响。
The most telling criticism of political culture theory is that it has coped very inadequately with political change. There is a good reason for this: the assumptions of the political culture approach in fact lead to the expectation of continuity. But continuity can be reconciled with changes, though only changes of particular kinds. The nature of political changes consistent with culturalist assumptions and with the culturalist expectation of continuity are here specified by hypotheses about (1) the effects of changes in social context, whether “normal” or involving abrupt discontinuity, and (2) the effects of attempted revolutionary transformation.
