afirmaciones de valor

Spanish to English Social Sciences Economics institutions
Sin un hilo conductor de discusión propiamente económica o de regulación, las conclusiones y afirmaciones de valor del autor quedan un poco al aire.

This is a review of an essay written in English; I have this snippet which mentions values, but don't know if phrase I am asking about is referring back to that or if it means something else: ensuring three sets of values: (i) freedom of initiative, (ii) the public interest and (iii) the democratic will.”

I want to wait to hear from the author before grading; he is traveling and will send a copy of the finalized document next week.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you, Muriel. I used "Without a guiding thread for the discussion, the author’s conclusions and claims are left a bit up in the air." The author did quite a bit of rewriting/reorganization, but that sentence wasn't touched."

Peer comment(s):
neutral Andrew Bramhall : A value judgement is more often taken to mean the subjective value individuals place on something, without objective reasoning.

agree Jackie Bowman : Yes. Or perhaps just even “judgements”, since the “value” bit is implicit in that word and “conclusions” can simply be an author’s objective summary of a foregoing narrative. “Assertions” might work, too.

Affirmations/confirmations of value.

"Without a truly economical and regulated conductive discussion thread, the conclusions and affirmations of value made by the author are left (somewhat ) up in the air/ blowing in the wind (somewhat)."

What this is really saying is that the author has been given too much leeway to come to, and give free rein to, his own conclusions without the restraints of concensus from his audience, that drawing objective conclusions as to its/their merits are difficult.

What this is really saying is that the author has been given too much leeway and free rein to reach his own conclusions without the restraining concensus of audience opinion, that the drawing of objective conclusions from the texts is rendered difficult as a consequence.

Sorry, thought I'd lost the first posting, couldn't see it anywhere, so I did it again.
Note from asker:
Hi, Oliver! Thanks for proposing an answer. I sometimes hesitate to post too much context, so I may have left out some important information. The critic is saying that the paper tries to cover both economic and regulatory issues, and without a guiding thread to connect them, the conclusions leave us up in the air... (Sin un hilo conductor de discusión propiamente económica o de regulación)
Peer comment(s):
disagree Jennifer Levey : I don't know what language this is, but it sure ain't plain English. // As an 'ENES' myself, I most certainly don't. // "drawing objective conclusions as to its/their merits *are* difficult" .. Aha! Now it's clear, tks.

Educated native English speakers will understand and see its suitability to the academic register here//If you'd read as far as the second entry, 'are' mistake is corrected......
disagree Jackie Bowman : Definitely not.
