The main result of this study is that European values are not converging toward an equilibrium point that would be common to the whole of Europe. The divides between the north and south and between the east and west of Europe are still significant. Nevertheless, we cannot speak of a divergence either. The values of Europeans are all moving in the same direction—toward more cultural liberalism and more sociopolitical integration, though the evolution is more moderate for the latter. But the divides are not narrowing. The growing demand for autonomy is not leading to a rejection of authority and regalian institutions, as was the case in the 1960s. The opposite is true in western European countries, perhaps reflecting citizens’ desire to balance individual freedom with a better protection of civil peace. Finally, the values survey shows that attachment to democracy remains strong in all European countries and that citizens have a favorable judgment of the fairness of their democratic system.
