Abstract:
|
Does vetting promote or undermine the building of trustworthy public institutions? This paper examines vetting in general, and the case of lustration in Central and Eastern Europe in particular, to understand how and under what conditions vetting promotes trust in public institutions. The removal from office and other public positions of individuals guilty of committing abuses in the previous regime has the potential to undermine trust in government and democratic consolidation. This paper examines the manner in which lustration breaks cycles of distrust and helps to foster the creation of public institutions worthy of citizen trust. This paper explores how lustration affects perceptions of the interests, incentives, and capabilities of public institutions, thereby changing public perceptions of their trustworthiness. |
