Values
摘要
This chapter explores the transformation of values and attitudes in Slovakia since the establishment of the independent Slovak state in 1993. It places an emphasis on civic values, such as trust (social and political), respect toward diverse cultures and faiths, tolerance toward minorities (religious, national, and sexual), and political participation of citizens. The analysis relies on data from international surveys, including the European Values Study, the European Social Survey, and the International Social Survey Programme, to understand how Slovakia’s civic culture has evolved over the years. The chapter tries to shed light on the country’s progress and changes in the European context.
