CEVAP:

Europe has an environment with more potential for active participation for individuals due to the influences of democracy. From roots in liberalism, individuals have a stronger desire to support selfinterest than for ancestral values found in oriental cultures. In societies that are still in many ways reacting to the effects of two world wars, one might expect to find less cultural influence on politics. Interplay from allied forces, with military interaction, goes against the idea that Europe has a single political identity. Europe could have a distinct political culture that would have to accommodate how different countries rebuild their societies and the governments protecting them.
