'Just as people have individual personalities, cities have different cultures, which account for variations in how they define and deal with issues. Not only does Comparative Civic Culture provide an enlightening conceptualization of civic culture, but it also relies on a rigorous methodology to examine its multiple manifestations as well as its impact on municipal policy-making.' Pierre Filion, University of Waterloo, Canada 'The theoretical framework developed in Comparative Civic Culture enables local political cultures to be systematically compared and will go a long way toward bringing political culture back to the center of the scientific study of urban politics and policy.' Todd Swanstrom, University of Missouri-St. Louis, USA
