Language: English
We invite papers that utilize WVS and EVS data to examine a wide range of topics, including attitudes towards democracy, trust in institutions, social cohesion, gender roles, environmental concerns, and religiosity. Contributors are encouraged to employ comparative methodologies to analyze how values and perceptions vary across different cultural, economic, and political contexts.
The panel will highlight key findings from recent survey waves, exploring longitudinal trends and identifying shifts in societal values over time. Special attention will be given to regional variations within Europe and comparisons with other global regions, offering insights into cultural diversity and convergence.
Additionally, the panel will discuss the methodological challenges and opportunities presented by large-scale cross-national surveys, emphasizing best practices for data analysis and interpretation. It will also consider the policy implications of survey findings, particularly in shaping effective strategies for governance, social policy, and international cooperation.
By fostering dialogue among researchers, policymakers, and practitioners, this panel seeks to advance our understanding of global values and their implications for societal development. It invites papers that contribute innovative analyses, theoretical advancements, and practical insights based on WVS and EVS data, aiming to inform evidence-based decision-making and foster international dialogue on shared values and aspirations.
