Given its complexity, trust as an object of study cannot be claimed by any single discipline. Rather than vouch for an overarching theory of trust, Living in an Age of Mistrust synthesizes existing perspectives across multiple disciplines to offer a truly comprehensive examination of this concept and a topic of research. Using an analytical framework that encompasses rational and cultural (or sociological) dimensions of trust, the contributions found therein provide a wide range of policy issues both domestic and international to explore the apparent decline in trust, its impact on social and political life, and efforts to rebuild trust.
Reviews / Votes
'Trust is thought to be the glue that holds society, domestic and international, together. But we have reason to think that trust is declining. This book offers thoughts by a remarkable variety of scholars on the role of trust in different collectivities, institutions and relationships and what to expect if it starts to fade. This is an excellent example of interdisciplinary collaboration on crucial social problems.' - Brian Rathbun, University of Southern California'Covering a broad range of political questions and contexts, this interdisciplinary collection admirably coheres around a concept of trust that is relational and thus variable by time, location, and political context. Demonstrating the challenges that declining trust poses locally, nationally, and internationally, Living in an Age of Mistrust merits attention from students, scholars, and anyone interested in nurturing the bonds of trust to address problems of policymaking, community building, and international cooperation.' - Douglas Harris, Loyola University Maryland

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
