{"product_id":"values-economic-crisis-and-democracy-1","title":"Values, Economic Crisis and Democracy","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe measurement model and the way it changes under the impact of economic shortage;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe connection between universal value orientations and attitudes towards different objects (e.g. the welfare state, immigrants and ethnic groups);\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe effects of economic factors and vulnerability on values and attitudinal orientations;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehow particular political and economic contexts produce changes in political orientations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.
