Trust and democratic governance. Social capital, institutional trust and action theory (provisional title)

This doctoral project starts from a study of the social capital paradigm in the field of the democratic governance of the common good from the particular perspective of trust's role. Reflexions about the three principals forms of social capital which are trustworthiness, networks and institutions will allow us to show some theoric limits of the trust concept. In a second movement, we will try to overcome these ones with social phenomenology incomes.
