Trust and Governance (Russell Sage Foundation Series on Trust)

An effective democratic society depends on the faith citizens place in their government. Payment of taxes, acceptance of legislative and judicial decisions, compliance with social service programs, and support of military endeavors are but some examples of the need for public co-operation with state demands. At the same time, voters expect their officials to behave ethically and responsibly. Enriched by perspectives from political science, sociology, psychology, economics, history, and philosophy, Trust and Governance opens a true dialogue on the role of trust in our relationship with the institutions that affect our daily lives.Trust and Governance (Russell Sage Foundation Series on Trust), was published 2003 under ISBN 9780871541352 and ISBN 0871541351.
