Sažetak
Social trust has recently become a focal topic of research in political and social sciences. It is also becoming increasingly relevant in political philosophy or political theory, due to the importance of trust in ensuring a stable, or at least a decent society. The purpose of this chapter is to explore connection between institutional arrangement and social trust. In the first part of the chapter I discuss why trust is important in a socio-political context. Apart from being important for democratic institutions, social trust is an indispensable element of institutions that secure our well-being – welfare state institutions. Secondly, I try to outline various aspects and understandings of trust, with particular emphasis on social trust. In the third part of this chapter, I will describe how institutions contribute to generating and sustaining social trust. Particular emphasis will be placed on the importance of welfare state institutions in ensuring social trust. Finally, I argue that there are good theoretical and empirical grounds to take into account various impacts of institutions on our leisure time and understand it as a catalyst of social inclusion which is also a precondition of social trust.
