Question

What are the regulators of political culture according to Amond and Powell?

Answer 1

Answer:

The developmental approach claims to know about a set of important variables among other properties of a political system, and also their limits or potentials. All systems at different levels of differentiation and secularisation or subsystem independence encounter different sets of limitations, pressures and potenti­alities. Developmental approach not only describes, compares, and explains, but also predicts political changes and developments occurring in political systems.

The developmental approach claims to know about a set of important variables among other properties of a political system, and also their limits or potentials. All systems at different levels of differentiation and secularisation or subsystem independence encounter different sets of limitations, pressures and potenti­alities. Developmental approach not only describes, compares, and explains, but also predicts political changes and developments occurring in political systems.A theory, according to Almond and Powell, designates relationships between variables in such a way that predictions can be made about the consequences of their interactions. It can be tested and further reformulated. They believe that their approach enables us to lay a basis for prediction as well as for description and explanation. It is aware of restrictions and limitations of political systems. These are inherited from the past, and influence their future, limiting as well as excluding certain alternatives.
