“…This finding seems to correspond to the ‘indoctrinating effect’ identified by Pop‐Eleches and Tucker (:77) in their cross‐country investigation of the effect of exposure to communism on individuals' political attitudes and behaviour. Greater exposure to communism may lead to more favourable attitudes towards communism.…”

Relationship between tourism and political socialisation has not been sufficiently studied as a topic of academic inquiry. Linking tourism to the process of political socialisation, this study analyses the influences and mechanisms of red tourism in China as an agent of political socialisation that serves the ruling party's intention to sustain its regime. Based on field studies in the Jinggangshan Scenic Area, we find that red tourism functions adequately as an authorised form of political socialisation. However, the effects of tourism as an agent of political socialisation are dependent on the discursive interactions among consumers, industry operators and the state.

“…In this subsection, I review two macro-level mechanisms which could moderate the effect of social mobility on individuals' perceptions of poverty attributes. The legacy of socialism in Central and Eastern Europe has been shown to exert a long-lasting effect on post-socialist economic and political attitudes (Pop-Eleches & Tucker, 2014). Perceptions of popular explanations of poverty can stem from the idiosyncratic national characteristics and distinctive historical legacies of these countries.…”

This article explores the consequences of intergenerational social mobility on perceptions of popular explanations of poverty. It is hypothesised that those who experience improvements in socio-economic status through social mobility are more likely to blame poverty on individual characteristics such as laziness and lack of willpower and are less likely to attribute failure to injustice in society, and on the macro-level, the effect of social mobility on perceptions of popular explanations of poverty is moderated by contextual environment. The described hypotheses are tested by using multinomial and multilevel logistic regressions and two complementary datasets-European Values Studies and the Life in Transition Survey. The derived findings suggest that social mobility is indeed associated with perceptions of individual blame and social blame of why some people are in need. However, these effects are manifested primarily among subjectively mobile individuals and are also conditioned by the legacy of socialism and the level of economic development of countries where individuals reside.

“…do our (admittedly young and theoretically less attuned) assumptions and ideas about differences in opinions and attitudes travel across diverse demographic groups in the ex‐USSR consistently as we shift across different policy and issue dimensions? and turning the focus to the main theme of this article, there are some very specific and definite opinions and hypotheses about the nature and importation of younger (and older) masses and elites in the former Soviet republics and postcommunist Eastern Europe (Gugushvili and Kabachnik ; Melich ; Pastukhov ; Pop‐Eleches and Tucker ; Rose and Carnaghan ). A number of assumptions derived from these and similar analyses of public opinion on economic, social, or political issues are utilized to forecast the state of democracy in the post‐communist region and popular support for democratization and economic liberalization.…”

Socialization, Rationality, and Age: Generational Gaps and the Attitudes toward the Chechen War in Russia

In this article, I focus on the factor of age as a determinant of individual support for the use of force by the government. I argue that socialization theory, as a key conceptual frame, should be supplemented by rational choice explanations for understanding individual preferences more fully. Employing survey data on the Chechen conflict, I investigate generational gaps in Russia regarding the government's use of force, and the form those gaps take. Empirically, I substantiate a theoretical claim that several generations exist in Russia, each with its own attitudes and beliefs, including the so‐called “second edition of the Decembrists,” “the people of the ‘60s,” “the people of the ‘70s,” “the generation of perestroika,” “the disappointed generation,” and a “lost generation/mega‐consumers.” I find strong, albeit surprising, evidence of a generational gap in Russia, with respondents born in different time periods, especially “the ‘60s people” and “mega‐consumers” expressing variable attitudes toward the Chechnya conflict.
