General shift in values squeezing right (9)
I believe the answer is:
universal
'general' is the definition.
('universal' can be a synonym of 'general')
'shift in values squeezing right' is the wordplay.
'shift' is an anagram indicator.
'squeezing' indicates putting letters inside (squeeze can mean hug or embrace).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'in'+'values'='invalues'
'invalues' is an anagram of 'univesal'.
'univesal' going around 'r' is 'UNIVERSAL'.
(Other definitions for universal that I've seen before include "Widespread, worldwide" , "Sort of joint" , "Worldwide or cosmic" , "Belonging to the whole world" , "Of worldwide scope" .)
