Which cultural values, beliefs, and attitudes best promote democracy, social justice, and prosperity? How can we use the forces that shape cultural change, such as religion, child-rearing practices, education, and political leadership, to promote these values in the Third World--and for underachieving minorities in the First World? In this book, Lawrence E. Harrison offers intriguing answers to these questions, in a valuable follow-up to his acclaimed Culture Matters. Drawing on a three-year research project that explored the cultural values of dozens of nations--from Botswana, Sweden, and India to China, Egypt, and Chile--Harrison offers a provocative look at values around the globe, revealing how each nation's culture has propelled or retarded their political and economic progress. The book presents 25 factors that operate very differently in cultures prone to progress and those that resist it, including one's influence over destiny, the importance attached to education, the extent to which people identify with and trust others, and the role of women in society. Harrison pulls no punches, and many of his findings will be controversial. He argues, for example, that Protestantism, Confucianism, and Judaism have been more successful in promoting progress than Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity, and Islam. Harrison rejects the Bush administration's doctrine that "the values of freedom are right and true for every person, in every society." Thus nations like Iraq and Afghanistan--where illiteracy, particularly among women, and mistrust are high and traditions of cooperation and compromise are scant--are likely to resist democracy. Most important, the book outlines a series of practical guidelines that developing nations and lagging minority groups can use to enhance their political, social, and economic well-being. Contradicting the arguments of multiculturalists, this book contends that when it comes to promoting human progress, some cultures are clearly more effective than others. It convincingly shows which values, beliefs, and attitudes work and how we can foster them.

1993年,哈佛大學著名教授塞繆爾·亨廷頓的《文明的衝突》一文,引起世界範圍內學界與政界激烈的爭執。為瞭力闢眾說、證明己見,亨廷頓隨後發錶瞭一係列文章並齣版專著《文明衝突與重建世界秩序》,對自己的觀點加以申辯、解釋和完善。也許是因為亨廷頓的論文和著作受到太多的...
評分好端端一本八卦書,翻譯糟瞭。算導論,一共十個章節,彆的還說得過去,無錯不成書嘛。第六章問題如井噴般齣現,難道是“影子寫手”給翻譯的?當然,要讓咱傢翻譯,一章都譯不順溜。所以,佶屈聱牙的部分錄得較少。當然,剩下的骨頭也未必都準確,大多是與通譯不閤,可能算不得...
