Legitimisation and regulation of and through values | ||
in Politique européenne , n. 45, 2014/3 , 2014 , 8-25 | ||
This issue analyses the extent, modalities and effects of the emergence of values in EU politics, policies and polity. A brief introduction presents the rise of values on the European political agenda; the different forms that these values can take; their strategic uses by actors; their effects as factors of conflict, cooperation or legitimisation; the political frameworks and processes designed to regulate them. Thematic articles discuss interactions between values and European public affairs under various angles, values as ‘objects’ of polarization in public opinion; framing of cultural or ethical policies, examined in the cases of abortion or stem cell research; internal management of values within the European Commission. | ||
