Trust and Political Disenchantment: An Overview
Public Service and Commercial Broadcasting: Impacts on Politics and Society
This article provides an accessible overview of the growing research literature on the impact of public service and commercial broadcasting and highlights its main implications for policy discussions about the future of public service broadcasting in Western societies. It shows that the populations of countries with public service broad‐ and narrowcasting are better informed about government and politics, are more trusting of other people, have m…
Three forms of trust and their association
This article investigates the relationships between particular social trust, general social trust, and political trust and tests a variety of political, social-psychological, and social capital theories of them. This sort of research has not been carried out before because until the World Values Survey of 2005–07 there has been, to our knowledge, no comparative survey that includes measures of particular and other forms of trust. The new data cha…

Is Small Really So Beautiful? Is Big Really So Ugly? Size, Effectiveness, and Democracy in Local Government
Arguments about the optimum size for units of local government often overlook the fact that small units have some considerable drawbacks while large ones have some advantages. By and large the discussion breaks down into two parts; those about size and functional effectiveness, and those about size and democracy. On the first count, it seems that large units are no less efficient and can be a good deal more effective than small ones. On the quest…

A Critique of the Pluralist Model
In 1958 Robert Dahl published an important article in which he picked out the defining characteristics of a ruling elite and attempted to specify a method which could be used to test for the existence of a ruling elite.1 The theory and empirical study of political power was never quite the same again, for Dahl showed that there were crucial faults in much of the power elite literature. It became clear that many of the power elite studies, and tho…
