Is declining trust in government and in other citizens bad for democracy? Bringing together social science and political theory, this book analyzes the relationship between democracy and trust. Trust can develop where interests converge, but in politics interests conflict. Democracy includes a healthy distrust of the interests of the powerful, and institutionalizes it by providing opportunities for citizens to oversee them. Yet democratic institutions depend on a trust among citizens sufficient for representation, resistance, and alternative forms of governance. Leading scholars explore this paradoxical relationship.

Democracy and trust
It is always remarkable when a thinker, well entrenched within a particular intellectual mileu, is nevertheless able to reorient the discipline with a new question. Well, I do not know the impact this book has had on identity theorists and cosmopolitanists, but it really should.
At any rate, Honig explores the centrality of otherness to the constitutional/foundational moment in politics and also to a polity's constant articulations about its own nature. In this sense, this book is also a risky venture because Honig willing to turn the proverbial gaze onto herself and other theorists living and working in the west.
