Powerful societal leaders - such as politicians and Chief
Executives - are frequently met with substantial distrust by the
public. But why are people so suspicious of their leaders? One
possibility is that 'power corrupts', and therefore people are
right in their reservations. Indeed, there are numerous examples of
unethical leadership, even at the highest level, as the Watergate
and Enron scandals clearly illustrate. Another possibility is that
people are unjustifiably paranoid, as underscored by some of the
rather far-fetched conspiracy theories that are endorsed by a
surprisingly large portion of citizens. Are societal power holders
more likely than the average citizen to display unethical
behaviour? How do people generally think and feel about
politicians? How do paranoia and conspiracy beliefs about societal
power holders originate? In this book, prominent scholars address
these intriguing questions and illuminate the many facets of the
relations between power, politics and paranoia.
