European values

Not to be confused with Pan-European identity.

European values are the norms and values that Europeans are said to have in common, and which transcend national or state identities. In addition to promoting European integration, this doctrine also provides the basis for analyses that characterise European politics, economics, and society as reflecting a shared identity. It is often associated with human rights, electoral democracy, and the rule of law.
