Book excerpt: Newton investigates cutting-edge current research and pathways for future research in the field, presenting empirical studies highlighting political trustÕs importance, variations, origins and consequences. He demonstrates that political trust is a useful and highly important symptom, but not a cause, of political conditions. Through exploration of the relationship between political trust and democracy, Newton illustrates that functions often attributed to political trust alone may be carried out by non-political institutions and practices instead.
