Parochial political culture is generally found in :
Explanation
According to the classification by Gabriel Almond and Sidney Verba in 'The Civic Culture', a parochial political culture is characterized by citizens having limited awareness, knowledge, or interest in the national political system [1]. In such societies, individuals are primarily focused on local or community-based matters rather than national issues, and they often have little interaction with central political processes. This type of culture typically predominates in relatively poor, underdeveloped, and traditional agrarian societies where specialized political roles have not yet emerged [1]. While participant cultures are found in developed democratic societies like the USA, parochial cultures are generally associated with developing or less developed societies where the influence of the central government is distant or irrelevant to the daily lives of the citizens [2].
