Dear Colleagues,
In the context of the upcoming ECPR Standing Group on Regulatory Governance conference in Antwerp (12-14 July 2023), Prof. Martino Maggetti, Prof. Ioannis Papadopoulos and myself organize a panel entitled "Trust and Distrust in Governance: main challenges, latest developments, and new ways forward" . You can find here below the panel description:
Trust has become a critical element for governance and for the well-functioning of regimes. At the same time, distrust has increasingly attracted academic attention, as a stand-alone concept that goes well beyond the contrary of trust. Trust and distrust are therefore two separate although intertwined elements that, applied to political phenomenon, contribute to the rise of innovative research questions that need to be empirically explored. The goal of the present panel is to gather the community adopting a ‘trust perspective’ to gain additional knowledge on the respective role of trust and distrust in public and private governance. It can include contributions exploring the role of trust and distrust as dependent or independent variables and which address a variety of political and social phenomenon, such as (but not limited to) agencification, capture, standard-setting, certification and labelling, the evolution of regimes, and the role of intermediaries therein. This panel represents a unique opportunity to bring together different applications and approaches from political science and nearby disciplines which share the same focus on trust in governance. It is also the opportunity to discuss about the latest developments from a theoretical and empirical perspective. Theoretical contributions and early-stage papers are also very welcome.
If you are interested in proposing a paper please send an abstract by March 5th 2023 at this address: Edoardo.guaschino@unil.chmailto:Edoardo.guaschino@unil.ch.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to send me an email.
