Riassunto

This book presents cutting-edge research on political trust as a relational concept. Can political trust be conceived as a one-dimensional concept, and to what extent do international population surveys warrant the culturally equivalent measurement of political trust across European societies? Is there indeed an observable general trend of declining levels of political trust? What are the individual, societal, and political prerequisites of political trust, and how do they translate into trustful attitudes? Why do so many Eastern European citizens still distrust their political institutions, and how do welfare state policies both enhance and benefit from political trust?
