Europe is in flux. The economic crisis, large migration flows, and terrorist attacks have put pressure on international solidarity and attitudes towards civil liberties such as freedom of movement. To what extent do European countries favour immigration and receiving refugees? To what extent do they trust policymakers and one another? Are there shared values, beliefs, and attitudes among Europeans from different countries? This report analyzes the most recent data from the European Social Survey (ESS), a large-scale biennial study of attitudes and values in 15 European countries, with special attention to attitudes towards immigration.
