  Political culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A political culture is unique to nations, states, and other groups.
A political culture differs from political ideology in that people can disagree on an ideology (what government should do) but still share a common political culture.

 Politics of Germany - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Politics of Germany takes place in a framework of a federal parliamentary representative democratic republic, whereby the Federal Chancellor is the head of government, and of a pluriform multi-party system.
The political systems of the individual states are prescribed by state constitutions, but resemble that of the federal level to a certain extent.
This rule, often called the "five percent hurdle", was incorporated into Germany's Election law to prevent political fragmentation and strong minor parties, which was considered a major reason for the inefficacy of the Weimar Republic's Reichstag.

 The Declaration of lndependence in Germany
There appears to be a curious discrepancy in Germany between the attractiveness of America as the land of liberty and opportunity an the one hand and traditional concepts of political participation and deep-rooted foundations of the judicial and constitutional Order on the other hand.
These fundamental differences in the political culture of Germany especially after the revolution which failed in 1848 and of the German Reich of 1871 as opposed to that of the United States hardly left any room for discussing thoroughly the ideas of the Declaration of Independence.
The first modern constitutional projects drafted in Germany at the very end of the 18th century were definitely rooted in it, and the political culture in the Federal Republic, solidly founded an the Basic Law, found its way back to this heritage of shared ideas and values.

Analyzing political culture is one possible way to approach German society and at the same time single out German specifics of antisemitic impact.
Both are numerous and handled in the political culture of interpretation in Germany.
Politicial culture of interpretation is full of anti-zionist activites and the political class refuses to fight them – more often they affirm these anti-jewish positions in which twisted way ever.

The evolution of those meanings over time implies that the moral or political culture of German society was indeed changing, but one cannot infer that knowledge about the camps played a causal role in that transformation.
However, political culture is usually conceived more narrowly as the actual electoral and social behavior of a population, as opposed to the legitimizing values and principles underlying that behavior.
one that is hegemonic in the public sphere of politics), in which the heterogeneity of a large number of relatively homogeneous group consciousnesses is subsumed under a norm or accepted standard.

Is it not more appropriate to talk of social and political cultures that are still distinct, and are likely to remain so for quite some time?
Why "new" After all, an East German Land (state) like Saxony is in fact a few hundred years older as a political entity than, for example, North Rhine-Westphalia, created as late as 1946.
Still others prefer the seemingly neutral term Westdeutschland (which can either mean western Germany with a small "w" or West Germany), corresponding to Ostdeuschland (eastern or East Germany) for the "new" states.

Additional Reviews and/or Endorsements for Anderson, M.L.: Practicing Democracy: Elections and Political Culture in Imperial Germany.
Anderson argues that the interplay among the popular experience, institutional structure, and the political practice of universal male suffrage in Reichstag elections paradoxically produced a political culture of democracy in the nondemocratic imperial German state.
Anderson's explanation of [this] paradox has important implications not only for German history, but also for recent political science literature on the transition to democracy.
