Cultural Failures as Choices of Rational Individuals

Öz:

I argue, in this paper, cultural failures can be analyzed as choices of rational individuals against the theories of primordialism and essentialism which tend to label acts of failure as irrational, even pathological. The application of public choice theory to culture helps us see failures as part of instrumental rational process in which individuals are concerned with maximizing their own interest and conflict forcing the sides to seek cooperation and compromise over new cultural norms. This application allows us to coin a new term which I call culture failure, to explain some behaviors of cultural actors based on public choice theory. Keeping this term in mind, I focus on behaviors and interactions of individuals, leaders, groups, and governments under the following titles: Cultural conflicts, instrumentalisation of culture through multiculturalism, and government intervention and free-riding

Öz: Bu makalede kültürel başarısızlıkları irrasyonel ve hatta
patolojik olarak gören ilkçi ve özcü teorilerin aksine bu
başarısızlıkları rasyonel bireylerin tercihleri olarak analiz etmenin
mümkün olduğunu tartışacağım. Kamu tercihi teorisinin kültüre
uygulanması, başarısızlıkları, araçsal rasyonalite sürecinin bir par
çası olarak görmeye olanak sağlar -ki bu süreçte bireyler kendi
çıkarlarını maksimize etmekle ve tarafları yeni kültürel normlar
üzerinde işbirliğine ve tavizde bulunmaya iten çatışma durumlarıyla
ilgilidirler. Bu uygulama, kültürel aktörlerin bazı davranışlarını
kamu tercihi teorisi temelinde açıklamak üzere kültürel başarısızlık
olarak adlandırılabilecek yeni bir kavramın ortaya atılmasına da
imkan verir. Bu kavramı zihnimizde tutarak aşağıdaki başlıklar
altında bireylerin, liderlerin, grup ve hükümetlerin davranışları ve
birbirleriyle olan karşılıklı etkileşimleri üzerinde duracağım: Kültü
rel çatışmalar, çok kültürlülük yoluyla kültürün araçsallaştırılması,
hükümet müdahalesi ve bedavacılık.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Kültürel başarısızlıklar, kamu tercihi teorisi,
araçsal rasyonalite, kültürel davranışlar, çatışmalar.
