Abstract

This panel focuses on the reciprocal relationships of political trust with policies (such as environmental, migration, and welfare policies) and politics. It explores the ways in which political trust is both a precursor of policy support, as well as the extent to which policies affect levels of trust. Moreover, it focuses on political trust from the perspective of its object, i.e., politicians.
