Abstract
Culturist and rationalist explanations for behavior have vied for preeminence with no resolution of their contradictory assumptions. Moral development theory, with its richer psychological framework, provides a solution to this dilemma. It provides, as well, a fresh insight into the causes of deviance. A brief case study of corruption in Nigeria and a more extensive analysis of corruption in China prior to the Tiananmen incident are the major comparative examples. The article makes clear how people endanger a political system by the pursuit of ends that are justified by parochial and developmentally weak moral orientations.
