For the past decade European countries have undergone a severe
economic crisis, with severe consequences both for individuals and
for governments. Unemployment and rising poverty have compelled
individuals to reconsider their own priorities and goals, while
governments have been forced to rethink social policies on the
national level, as well as their international economic and
political agreements. Some countries have been more deeply affected
by the crisis than others, and the impact of economic shortage on
individuals and governments has differed, not only because of the
different magnitudes of the crisis, but also because individuals
react differently to the contextual changes. This book makes use of
cross-national survey data to explore the impact of wealth and
economic contexts on social values. Instead of attempting to
explain how aggregate changes occur (as previous volumes have done)
the chapters in this collection focus on micro-level effects to
interrogate more deeply the interplay between attitudes and values
- and the way both can change as a result of transformation of
economic context. This book elaborates on several dimensions of
value change: the measurement model and the way it changes under
the impact of economic shortage; the connection between universal
value orientations and attitudes towards different objects (e.g.
the welfare state, immigrants and ethnic groups); the effects of
economic factors and vulnerability on values and attitudinal
orientations; how particular political and economic contexts
produce changes in political orientations. This book focuses on the
interrelationship of social values, attitudes and economic scarcity
in the context of the last economic crisis experienced by many
European countries. It will appeal to scholars and students of
sociology, political science and economics.
