From a European comparative perspective, the book addresses a broad
range of contested issues. 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 does the implementation of welfare
state policies enhance and benefit from political trust? The
comprehensive empirical evidence presented here by leading scholars
offers valuable insights into the relational aspects of political
trust and will certainly stimulate future research. Features: - a
state-of-the-art European perspective on political trust - an
analysis of the most recent trends with regard to the development
of political trust - a comparison of traditional and emerging
democracies in Europe - the consequences of political trust on
political stability and the welfare state - a counterbalance to the
gloomy American picture of declining political trust levels.
