Abstract

V originále

This research report summarizes findings from focus group interviews with representatives of two democratic social movements in the Czech Republic on the role of social movements in the formation of trust and distrust. Based on the results of this study, it seems that trust is mostly perceived as positive and important by both social movements.Some interviewees consider trust as the basic element in the building and functioning of democratic society, and they believe that excessive distrust can undermine it. Both movements perceive Czechs as a distrustful nation. Most of the interviewees agree that trust in the governmental institutions can be enhanced through better communication and transparency, and through greater integrity and competence of their representatives. Although it is not the role of social movements to increase trust in politics, the movements can increase citizens’ trust as a side effect of their activities, according to the interviewees.
