Ehrmann 11 European Central Bank, GermanyThe 2007-09 global financial crisis has been accompanied by a marked fall in the public trust in the ECB asmeasured by the European Commission’s Eurobarometer survey. This stands in contrast with the commonpercepon of central banks in general, and the ECB in parcular, having played a fundamental role in prevenngthe financial crisis from developing into a full-blown Great Depression. As a maer of fact, the fall in trust inthe ECB can be rather well explained based on previous, pre-crisis regularies. We find evidence that the fall intrust reflected the macroeconomic deterioraon, a more generalised fall in the trust in European instuons inthe wake of the crisis as well as the severity of the banking sector’s problems, to which the ECB was somehowassociated even though the ECB does not have direct supervisory responsibilies...1.17.2 Trust in instuons and protest parcipaon: a comparison of established and postcommunist EUdemocraciesA.

Musil 11 University of Maribor, SloveniaIn the recent decades, protest parcipaon has emerged as one of the most widely accepted and praccedform of cizen engagement in the West. Many students of democracy believe that protest parcipaon is criticalfor a well-funconing and stable democracy and research suggests that protest parcipaon is one of themain characteriscs of a democrac public. Studies have also shown that the frequency of protest parcipa-on is on the increase in established democracies, while protest engagement in postcommunist democraciesis in decline. On the other hand, there has been a general decline in trust in public instuon in both old andnew democracies. The aim of our research is to analyze the role that trust in public instuons plays in protestpotenal in western and postcommunist EU democracies...1.17.3 Developing European Indicators of Trust in Criminal JusceJ.
