“…To operationalise the NEET status, I combined the variables ‘unemployed and actively seeking employment’ with ‘unemployed and not actively seeking employment’, thus creating a dummy variable. The literature has then underlined the positive effect of level of education on trust (Newton, Stolle, & Zmerli, ). To operationalise the level of education, I recoded the variable on the highest level of education achieved in the two categories, with low‐educated individuals (ISCED 0‐2), on one side, and educated individuals, on the other (ISCED 3‐6).…”

Political trust, young people and institutions in Europe. A multilevel analysis

The constant decline of political trust has been shown in political sociology. Young people in particular seem to display lower levels of political trust, which is a challenge for the sustainability of democracy. Still, these levels of political trust among youth differ greatly from one country to another. This article therefore seeks to answer the following question: How can we account for cross‐national diversity with regard to young people’s political trust? To answer this question, I performed multilevel analyses based on data from the European Social Survey. I show in the article that cross‐national diversity stems from the institutional arrangements that structure entry into adulthood, i.e., what I call ‘youth welfare citizenship regimes’: The more inclusive is the youth economic citizenship and the more individualised is their social citizenship, the higher is young people’s political trust – which could buffer the decline in political trust.

“…This is distinct, then, from trust primarily directed at objects (such as trusting in a reliably constructed shelf to take the weight of a vase). It is also distinct from trust in institutions, groups or procedures (trust in the impartiality of a constitutional court or a central bank, for example) (Newton 2007), testimonial trust or trust in expertise (e.g., O'Neill 2007:154-66;Festenstein 2009;Lane 2014;Moore 2017) and from trust/distrust in political regimes, such as the classical distrust of democracies for their passion-driven inconstancy (Schwartzberg 2007). On the face of it, while these other forms of trust are important, interpersonal trust matters in politics because agency matters, together with associated concepts such as responsibility.…”

Political trust has become a central focus of political analysis and public lament. Political theorists and philosophers typically think of interpersonal trust in politics as a fragile but valuable resource for a flourishing or stable democratic polity. This article examines what conception of trust is needed in order to play this role. It unpicks two candidate answers, a moral and a responsiveness conception, the latter of which has been central to recent political theory in this area. It goes on to outline a third, commitment conception and to set out how a focus on commitments and their fulfilment provides a better account of trust for political purposes. Adopting this conception discloses how trust relies on a contestable public normative space and has significant implications for how we should approach three cognate topics, namely, judgments of trust, the place of distrust, and the relationship of interpersonal to institutional trust and distrust.The importance, fragility and dangers of trust and distrust have become increasingly central topics for political analysis and normative reflection, as well as for anguished political brooding. These themes dominate the extensive literature on how and 'why we hate politics', on the wide-scale erosion of public trust and confidence in government, and on the rise of anxieties about populism and its cultivated dialectic of distrust (of normal politics, parliaments, the system) and trust (of the leader, the movement) (e.g.,
