Political Culture and Education in Advanced Industrial Societies: West Germany and the United States.

Merelman, Richard M.; Foster, Charles R.

International Review of Education, v24 n4 p443-65 1978

The theoretical framework proposed here treats political alienation as a normal outcome of the incompatability between egalitarian goals and social inequalities in democratic systems. The framework is applied to the role of education in the United States, a stable democracy, and in West Germany, an emergent democracy. (Author/SJL)
