Abstract
Using the Asia-Europe Survey carried out in 2000 in eight countries in Asia (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines) and nine countries in Europe (Ireland, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece), confidence in political and other institutions (i.e., parliament, political parties, elected government, law and the courts, leaders, police, civil service, military, big business, and mass media) are examined. Key findings are summarized: (1) Asian countries register higher confidence in political and other institutions than European countries; (2) both in Asia and in Europe, two meritocratically and non-democratically recruited institutions, the police and the military, tend to enjoy highest confidence; (3) Those satisfied with life and with politics tend to register high confidence in political and other institutions; (4) globalization exposures and experiences, like job and website about it, about family and friends, about TV news and entertainment, about employment, work consistently in the direction of reducing confidence in domestic institutions.
