Trust and Civil Society

'An important contribution to a debate which is going on in many countries. It leaves us with the most difficult of questions: How does one create civil societies? How do we build trust?... understanding what this is about is a good beginning, and this book will help in the process'. - Ralf Dahrendorf, Life Peer and former Warden of St Antony's College, Oxford '...presents a wide-ranging debate about the meaning of trust and civil society...' - John B. Harms, Contemporary Sociology '...a highly stimulating and important collection.' - Candace J. Groudine, Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quartely
