Review of Halman's, Sieben's, and van Zundert's "Atlas of European values"
by Paul F. Ross
Loek Halman, Inge Sieben, and Marga van Zundert (2012) display findings from the European Values Study surveys done in 28 countries that are members of the European Union and in 18 countries, also European, that are not members of the European Union. The most recent results date from 2008 (47 countries) and other results, when available, date from 1981 (15 countries), 1990 (27 countries), and 1999 (33 countries). The matter of European identity is explored using four questions, family life using five

questions, life at work using five questions, religion using four questions, politics using five questions, social issues using seven questions, and well-being using three questions. The average result for the country is displayed ... sometimes as a percentage of those assenting to the statement, sometimes as the mean scale value from one to ten chosen by the respondent, sometimes as the percent of those choosing the optional answers offered by the surveyor, etc. The languages spoken in the countries surveyed - over thirty - are charted (page 7).
The Atlas is introduced by a statement by Herman Van Rompuy, President of the European Council in October 2011. The European Council is composed of the heads of the governments belonging to the European Union. He wrote: "This Atlas of European Values provides a rich insight into the values and attitudes of the Europeans: more than 800 million people living on the `old' continent, both inside and outside the European Union's 27 member states. The atlas examines what Europeans value in family life, work, religion, politics, society, and well-being. With the underlying research spanning a generation in time, the Atlas also provides a picture of the important value transformations as well as of firm, incontestable beliefs. It is a treasure-trove of information on the wealth of opinions about Europe, and the forces that bind us in spite of our differences." The Atlas is presented in English. Only two of the 28 countries (Great Britain, Ireland) reported by the Atlas to be among the 47 countries surveyed have English as their principal languages. (I did not discover why the President of the European Council referred to 27 member states whereas the Atlas reports survey results from 28 member states.) The President's statement is the nearest declaration of the purpose for the report that I found. I have no insight into who the authors perceive to be the audience for their work except that that audience is expected to have a broad interest in Europe, probably identifying with Europe, to be moderately well educated ... probably as a college graduate, and, perhaps, to have leadership responsibilities in one capacity or another.
The Survey of European Values began in the late 1970s under initiatives by Ruud de Moor of Tilburg University and Jan Kerkhofs of Catholic University of Leuven, they accomplishing their first serious data collection in 15 European member states in 1981. Their "initiative was followed by non-European scientists and the project expanded into the World Values Survey (according to Halman, Luijkx, and van Zundert, 2005, p 11)." In 2005, they cite www.europeanvalues.nl and www.worldvaluessurvey.org as websites providing details about the questionnaires, survey methods, and the data themselves. The initiators of this work deserve high praise for its conception and the repeated carrying through of the work.
The 2012 Atlas has all but no list of references and no index. Its "acknowledgements" point to www.europeanvaluesstudy.eu as a source of information about the questionnaire, its translations, and the survey sampling. Not seeing the usual list of references and index, I asked a colleague about the scientific roots for this survey work and was given Inglehart's work on Modernization and postmodernization (1997) as a reference.
Halman, Sieben, and van Zundert have confined themselves to providing descriptive information about the average of the responses from individuals sampled in each country, showing the findings in map formats, and have omitted tracing the trends in attitudes and offering theories about what is happening and where the changes will lead in the future. These authors leave to the reader the task of deciding what the information and the trends mean ... a choice appealing to this reviewer as wiser than the choices made by Inglehart (1997). The informed citizen and the policymaker, however, not realizing the complexities underlying their expectations, may read these works by Halman and colleagues and grumble in frustration: "You are the experts. Tell me what this means."
I have reviewed Inglehart's work (1997), his data being derived from the World Values Surveys with roots stretching from about 1970 to about 1993, the 1993 data being the most recent survey data available to him at the time he was writing. Inglehart seeks to tell his readers what the data mean ... and I criticize him stoutly for his methods and conclusions although not for trying. I suspect, but cannot say with certainty, that Inglehart's data utilized the European Values Surveys of 1981 and 1990 and that some of my criticisms of Inglehart's work apply to the Halman reports of 2005 and 2012.
My review of Inglehart's report can be found on Amazon.com in association with Inglehart's name and his book's title. I have reviewed Halman's, Luijkx's, and van Sundert's Atlas (2005), a predecessor to this work (2012). The review can be found on Amazon.com.
