Presenting findings from a research project spanning seven European countries, the book explores the meaning and role of institutional trust and distrust, analyses individual manifestations, enquires into arenas of trust formation and contestation, and discusses scenarios and implications. The authors present fresh theoretical and empirical insights by corroborating a co-presence of institutional trust and distrust and, crucially, propose a relational approach that considers the interplay between (dis)trusting citizens and institutions at the individual and collective level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn important and original contribution to understandings of political trust, it will be an essential resource for scholars, researchers, and upper-level students of political sociology, political science, psychology, and media studies, with interests in understanding forms of political trust and distrust, and their conditions and implications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christian Lahusen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032953691\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032953694\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/06\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Christian Lahusen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48447109693695,"sku":"9781032953694","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_01c868df-53a3-4b95-83b8-bbc847296ea3.jpg?v=1777228885","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/political-trust-and-distrust-in-christian-lahusen-9781032953694","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
