继Alesina和Guiliano(2013)尝试测量全球文化，并将这些测量结果投射到真实的世界地理地图上之后，我们利用世界价值观调查(WVS)的数据，得出全球经济、政治和社会价值的稳健测量量表，并评估土耳其在其中的位置。我们的研究基于68个国家的92,289名具有代表性的个人，他们拥有完整的数据，占全球人口的56.89%，着眼于这些国家的核心经济价值。在现有数据的promax因子分析的基础上，我们从人类价值地理的新九个维度出发，使用六因子分析得分来计算一个新的全球价值发展指数，该指数包括:避免经济自由化;避免种族歧视;避免对军队和媒体的不信任;避免专制的性格;宽容与尊重;避免拒绝市场经济和民主。我们的结果显示，排名前五的国家都是西方民主国家。我们的全球价值发展指数将摩洛哥排在第12位，仅次于美国。 Turkey is ranked 25, ahead of several EU member countries. But there are still considerable deficits concerning the liberal values components, which are very important for effective democracy, and there are very large regional differences, confirming the dictum by Huntington (1996) about Turkey as a torn country. The deficits suggest that the Turkish state, Turkish civil society and European decision makers would be well advised to continue to support civil society and secular democracy in Turkey.
