European Voices on Values. How publics and elites understand the open society


Six months ahead of the 2019 European Parliament elections, do Europeans still cherish fundamental values such as freedom of expression, respect for minorities, and the rule of law? If they had to choose, would they prioritise them over economic prosperity and political stability?

 
The Open Society European Policy Institute and d|part will present new research on public and elite attitudes towards open society values in Germany, France, Hungary, Poland, Italy and Greece.
 
The research contests some common assumptions about how people understand the open society. We examined attitudes to freedom of expression, the rule of law, and citizens’ rights and the institutions that uphold them. The data show that attitudes are more nuanced and complex than is often believed, and that there is a larger constituency for open society values than is generally assumed. How could this support for civil and political rights be mobilised?
