Abstract

This panel aims to focus particularly on the object of political trust (trustworthiness). Hence, it invites papers on the relevance of contextual determinants of political trust, such as corruption, policy output, economic performance, quality of government, and scandals. Moreover, it hosts papers that focus on the mediation and moderation of such effects in and by contextual factors such as schools.
