Is declining trust in government and in other citizens bad for democracy? Democracy builds on a distrust of the powerful, and yet trust among citizens is necessary for democratic representation, resistance, and citizen governance. Combining social science and political theory, this book explores the paradoxical relations between democracy and trust.
