Which is/are correctly matched (concept and thinker)?
- 1. Development trap: Fred Riggs
- 2. Development syndrome: James Coleman
- 3. Political decay: Lucian Pye
- 4. Political culture and political development: Huntington
A1, 2, 3 and 4
B1, 2 and 4
C1 and 2 ✓ Correct
D2 and 3
Correct answer: (C) 1 and 2 — Pairs 1 and 2 are correctly matched, so the answer is 1 and 2.
Explanation
★Pairs 1 and 2 are correctly matched, so the answer is 1 and 2.
★Fred Riggs is associated with the idea of the development trap and the prismatic society.
★James Coleman wrote on the development syndrome of differentiation, equality and capacity.
★Pair 3 is wrong, because the concept of political decay is Samuel Huntington's, not Lucian Pye's.
★Pair 4 is wrong, because the study of political culture and political development is Lucian Pye's, not Huntington's.
★So the two thinkers in pairs 3 and 4 have simply been swapped.
★Huntington warned that fast mobilisation without strong institutions leads to political decay.
