Political culture deeply influences a nation’s governance by shaping values, beliefs, and attitudes towards authority and civic engagement. It reflects the shared understanding of political processes and the role of citizens in governance. A strong democratic culture promotes participation, accountability, and respect for the rule of law, contributing to stable governance. In contrast, authoritarian cultures may foster passivity and intolerance, hindering effective governance. Moreover, political culture influences policy priorities and the relationship between governments and citizens, affecting the overall legitimacy and responsiveness of political institutions.
