Abstract
Trust has become an increasingly important concept in social theory. In particular, what it means to trust, how trust is at all possible, and whether trust is fundamentally rational or irrational is much contested. The relevance of trust as both concept and empirical phenomenon has been linked to the development trajectory of modernity, since increasing individualism and disintegration of traditional norms and roles seems to suggest that trust is becoming increasingly dangerous and tenuous. Finally, trust has become a salient concept in theories on the relationship between people on the one hand and institutions and systems on the other.
