Trust Matters: Cross-Disciplinary Essays

This volume collects original essays on trust. It examines the role of trust in public life and places analytic questions about the attitude of trust at the centre of a cross-disciplinary inquiry into its value. Bringing together contributors from across the social, historical and political sciences, this edited collection seeks to contribute to a more nuanced understanding of fundamental concepts in political and legal theory by furnishing and sharpening our concepts of trust and trustworthiness.
