Book Description:

Cross-country comparisons are critical to a nuanced understanding of society and are central to the social sciences. For 25 years the International Social Survey Programme has profoundly influenced the development of mass comparative surveys. Now, original analyses of the findings by 35 leading academics illuminate similarities and contrasts between the attributes, attitudes and values of people living within markedly different cultures and political systems.
