Who among the following has give 'Sleeping Dogs' theory of democratic culture?
A. Lucian Pye and Robert E. Ward
B. James S. Coleman and Myron Weiner
C. James C. Charlesworth and F. W. Riggs
D. Almond and Verba
Answer: Option D
Solution (By Examveda Team)
The 'Sleeping Dogs' theory, in the context of democratic political culture, refers to the idea that citizens in a democracy don't need to be constantly and actively involved in politics.It suggests that a healthy democracy can function even with a relatively passive citizenry, as long as people are willing to become engaged when important issues arise or when their rights are threatened. They are like 'sleeping dogs' - quiet unless disturbed.
Almond and Verba, in their seminal work "The Civic Culture," introduced and discussed this concept extensively.
The other options are incorrect because:
* Lucian Pye and Robert E. Ward are known for their work on political development and modernization, particularly in Asian countries, but not specifically for the 'Sleeping Dogs' theory.
* James S. Coleman and Myron Weiner were prominent scholars in comparative politics and development, but their work isn't directly linked to this specific theory.
* James C. Charlesworth and F. W. Riggs contributed to the fields of public administration and comparative administration, respectively, not to the development of the 'Sleeping Dogs' theory.
