This book presents cutting-edge empirical research on political
trust as a relational concept. From a European comparative
perspective it 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 both enhance
and benefit from political trust? The comprehensive empirical
evidence presented in this book by leading scholars provides
valuable insights into the relational aspects of political trust
and will certainly stimulate future research.This book 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 of
the gloomy American picture of declining political trust levels.
