Abstract

Political culture occupies an important place in the analysis of the political system of society, since it reflects the basic values, norms and beliefs that influence political interaction. This study examines the concept of political culture based on its theoretical and conceptual aspects. In political science, an explanation of the theory of “political culture” is given, presented on the basis of the research work of scientists. To define modern concepts of political culture, a review of the works of foreign scientists is conducted. For a deeper understanding of the formation and dynamics of political culture, the main theoretical approaches are studied: cultural, structural-functional and ideological. The article analyzes the influence of political culture on the institutional aspects of the political system, as well as its role in the legalization of political power and the socialization of citizens. In the process of work, general scientific and special methods, as well as system-structural and retrospective analysis, methods of comparative and expert generalization are used to conduct theoretical analysis, as well as conceptual analysis of modern concepts of political culture. A model of a thorough analysis of the modern concept of political culture is proposed and studied. In addition, the importance of studying political culture is emphasized in order to optimize governance and achieve social stability and harmony.
