Trust and Governance Institutions

This book explores trust in government from a variety of perspectives in the Asian region.

The book is divided into three parts, and there are seven Asian countries that have been covered by ten chapters.

The first part contains three chapters which focus on two East Asian governments - Hong Kong and Taiwan.

The second part includes case studies from two Southeast Asian countries - Thailand and Philippines.

The third part consists of four chapters dealing with two South Asian countries - India and Bangladesh.

The last chapter analyzes governance failure (i.e., the absence of trust) as uncertainty from a theoretical perspective.
