Abstract

Political Ideology Revisited is highly sophisticated and addresses a most fundamental topic in the analysis of belief systems: the relationship between cognitive structure and political ideology. The sophistication derives from the fact that Sidanius has met Rokeach's for studying belief systems, a requirement which has been systematically ignored in the political science literature on the structure of beliefs: To study the organization of belief systems, we find it necessary to concern ourselves with the structure rather than the content of beliefs... Thus, a basic requirement is that the concepts to be employed in the description of belief systems must not be tied to any one particular belief system; they must be constructed to apply equally to all belief systems. (Rokeach, 1960, p. 6)
