“…These supporters also believe in a strong correlation between high-trust societies and incorrupt government. Using survey data, research also concludes that honest political institutions positively contribute to interpersonal trust (Bjørnskov, 2009;Freitag & Buhlmann, 2005).…”

“…A high level of social trust is positively correlated with stronger democratic institutions and higher economic growth and negatively correlated with the level of crime and corruption (Bjørnskov, 2009;Richey, 2010;Rothstein, 2013). Social trust is also rooted in an honest and incorrupt government (Bjørnskov, 2009;Freitag & Buhlmann, 2005;Rothstein, 2013). For this reason, the cost of controlling economic agents is considerably lower in high-trust communities (Uslaner, 2002).…”

In this paper, we uncover the relationships among social trust, corruption and the duration of economic crises. Our theoretical foundation is based on a collection of studies from different academic fields, especially political science, sociology and economics. We corroborate our arguments with both descriptive analysis and regression analysis of secondary data. Our dataset includes 11,364 observations distributed across 211 countries. The quantitative findings show that social trust is correlated with the duration of economic crises. Connecting our theoretical stance with the empirical evidence, we propose several possible explanations for the findings and provide both theoretical and practical implications.

“…Public confidence in institutions or political trust differs from concepts of generalized trust and social capital, which focus on the (horizontal) trust amongst citizens (Freitag 2001, Newton 2001. Social capital theory sees in the fact that citizens trust each other a core factor for the functioning of democracies (Putnam 1993, Almond/Verba 1965, Freitag/Bühlmann 2005, cf. Kaina 2004.…”

Abstract:Alternative Dispute Resolution plays a crucial role in the justice system of Switzerland. With the unified Swiss Code of Civil Procedure, it is required that each litigation session shall be preceded by an attempt at conciliation before a conciliation authority. However, there has been little research on conciliation authorities and the public's perception of the authorities. This paper looks at public confidence in conciliation authorities and provides results of a survey conducted with more than 3,400 participants. This study found that public confidence in Swiss conciliation authorities is generally high, exceeds the ratings for confidence in cantonal governments and parliaments, but is lower than confidence in courts.Since the institutional models of the conciliation authorities (meaning the organization of the authorities and the selection of the conciliators) differ widely between the 26 Swiss cantons, the influence of the institutional models on public confidence is analyzed. Contrary to assumptions based on New Institutional-ism approaches, this study reports that the institutional models do not impact public confidence. Also, the relationship between a participation in an election of justices of the peace or conciliators and public confidence in these authorities is found to be at most very limited (and negative). Similar to common findings on courts, the results show that general contacts with conciliation authorities decrease public confidence in these institutions whereas a positive experience with a conciliation authority leads to more confidence.
