Description in English]
Latin America and the Caribbean: Trust, a scarce good?
Democratic coexistence is only possible in an environment of trust. Trust is the foundation for any social relationship not based on force. In democratic contexts, resorting to imposition is an illegitimate and reprehensible practice, which is why it is necessary to establish different relationships - relationships of trust. Trust increases the chances of cooperation beyond interaction with prior acquaintances. In addition, trust reduces transaction costs in social relationships and speeds up decision making. It is the starting point for formulating rules on appropriate behavior. Trust acts as the backbone of interaction between people, and the relations between citizens and the State and institutions, as well as the bilateral, regional or multilateral relations established by countries to deal with the challenges posed by world events. This book forms part of the project entitled "Governability and Democratic Coexistence in Latin America and the Caribbean", sponsored by the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID). The authors contend that trust is a key ingredient in the consolidation of democratic governance and coexistence. Each looks at different dimensions of trust: political trust, academic trust, business-related trust, diplomatic trust, military trust and the trust of native peoples.
