Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The observed decline in levels of political trust around the world has been interpreted in two ways: on the one hand, low and declining levels of trust may suggest a crisis of democracy and of democratic institutions; on the other, this decline may suggest a change in the ways that citizens evaluate governments, suggesting the development of a critical citizenry. This debate has been renewed in the context of new and unconsolidated democracies, where low levels of trust can also be observed. Are these low levels of trust suggesting a crisis of democracy? Or do they suggest a response to problems of democratic governance? To be able to answer these questions, it is important to understand what the origins of trust are. In this paper, I evaluate competing hypotheses about what makes people trust or distrust political institutions in Latin America. Special attention is given to the impact of values on trust, and to the measures of governmental performance, such as corruption, in the region. The results suggest that, although trust in the region is low, the reasons are linked to problems of democratic governance.
