Résumé
This working paper presents the results of preliminary empirical research conducted as part of the ValEUR project. Over the last few decades, the enlargements of the European Union and the constitution-making process have triggered debates on the common values that bring European countries and citizens together and justify public action. This paper focuses on the extent, modalities, and meanings of the use of values in EU institutional discourse in the period 2000–2015. The role of values as objects of policy action and/or resources for political legitimation is analyzed in four policy sectors: institutional communication, identity (education, culture, citizenship, memory), religion, and the rule of law. Through qualitative content analysis for each policy sector, we determine the conditions for the emergence and use of values in institutional discourses, the salience of values in these discourses, the possible differences/distribution of roles among the EU institutions, and finally the meanings and functions attributed to values.
