商品描述

This open access book explains why representative democracies need political trust and legitimacy: Political trust is a crucial yet underestimated element in Europe's representative democracies. A trusting relationship between citizens and the institutions of the state ensures the functioning of democratic systems, reduces transaction costs and facilitates the justification of political decisions. Without the commitment of a critical mass, democratic governments cannot gain legitimacy among the populace. While a stable relationship of trust between citizens and the state through political parties is a prerequisite for representative democracies in normal times, it is even more important in times of significant democratic change and turmoil, i.e., when democracies are in flux. Accordingly, the contributions gathered here examine political trust and legitimacy in Europe using a new conceptual framework - the ActEU conceptual triangle, which draws on citizens' political attitudes, their political participation, and the representation of their political preferences to map and assess the decline of political trust and legitimacy in Europe.

這本開放存取的書籍解釋了為什麼代議制民主需要政治信任和合法性：政治信任是歐洲代議制民主中一個關鍵但被低估的元素。公民與國家機構之間的信任關係確保了民主系統的運作，降低了交易成本，並促進了政治決策的合理化。沒有關鍵群體的承諾，民主政府無法在民眾中獲得合法性。在正常情況下，公民與國家之間透過政黨建立穩定的信任關係是代議制民主的前提，但在重大民主變革和動盪的時期，即當民主處於變遷之中時，這一點更為重要。因此，這裡收集的貢獻使用一個新的概念框架——ActEU概念三角形，來檢視歐洲的政治信任和合法性，該框架基於公民的政治態度、他們的政治參與以及他們政治偏好的代表性，以描繪和評估歐洲政治信任和合法性的下降。
