According to Almond and Verba, the concept of political culture provides the connecting link between micro-politics and macro-politics. Political culture is not a unitary concept. Lesser social and political groups have their sub-cultures, or micro-political cultures, while in modern societies and countries; there is also a macro-political culture of the nation or State. However, in the developing countries, the micro political cultures of the lesser groups or communities may be too powerful or influential for the macro political culture to be effective or efficient such are the cultures of the tribal or caste societies.
On the contrary, in the modem States, the micro political cultures of the parochial groups or loyalties are either non¬existent or ineffective. In other words, the derisions or a preference of the voters, of the officers or of the governmental decision- or policy-makers is made with a view to the interest of the whole nation.
The problem of modernisation in the developing countries of the Third World is really the problem of transforming their micro political cultures into macro political cultures. The difference in political decision and policy making provides us with different types of political cultures.
