Abstract
This chapter is an attempt to develop and tentatively test a theory on the structure of interrelations among “core” values for Western Europeans. Guided by the facet-analytic approach, we shall first clarify and define the concept “value,” and then go on to discuss the theory as evolved and pretested in the course of an ongoing cooperative cross-national research program.
