Abstract: Studies of political culture revived in the late 1980s after a quiet period when scholars announced a “renaissance of political culture”. But critics of this trend claimed that the renaissance was doomed to fail because of the deficiencies of these studies in definition, questionnaire design, variable analysis, theory applicability and methodology. The study of political culture, however, was not stagnant. The large amount of works since the late 1980s indicated that researches of political culture had reassumed the central theme of political analysis. The renaissance of political culture is the rebirth, reinterpretation and recreation of the studies of political culture during the 1950s and 1960s.  

Key words: political culture , renaissance of political culture , R. Inglehart , M. Brint

摘要： 政治文化研究在经历了一段时间的沉寂之后，从20世纪80年代末期开始出现转机，西方一些政治文化研究学者陆续提出了“政治文化复兴”的说法。而持反对观点的学者认为，政治文化研究在定义、问卷设计、变量分析、理论适用性和方法论等方面存在诸多问题，“政治文化复兴”注定要失败。但这些批评并未影响政治文化研究的复兴，自20世纪80年代末期开始出现的大量政治文化研究著作表明，政治文化研究重新回到了政治分析的中心舞台。复兴后的政治文化研究是对20世纪50—60年代政治文化研究的再生、重释和再创造。
