Inhaltsangabe

Cross-country comparisons are critical to a nuanced understanding of society and are central to the social sciences. For twenty-five years the International Social Survey Programme has profoundly influenced the development of mass comparative surveys. Now, original analysis of the findings by thirty-five leading academics illuminate similarities and contrasts between the attributes, attitudes and values of people living within markedly different cultures and political systems.
