Drawing upon a combination of ethnographic research and media and communication theory, Building Communities of Trust: Creative Work for Social Change offers pathways to building trust in a range of situations and communities. Ann Feldman presents rich examples from her own life and social-impact journey with nonprofit, Artistic Circles, along with supplemental case studies from interviews with 20 to 30-year-olds, to address how to create vibrant, trust-based societies and to determine what works and what doesn't while advancing towards creating social impact. These case studies and shared experiences from real life media projects across 30 years, reveal behind-the-scenes stories of challenges, conflicts, and resolutions in global impact efforts ranging from women's empowerment to water access. The book explains how the success – or failure – of social-impact initiatives depends on power struggles, funding, interpersonal misunderstandings, identity crises, fears, and stereotypes. The book's goal is to help aspiring changemakers develop strategies for sustainable social-change projects. It serves as a guide for undergraduates, graduate students, and high-school upperclassmen in environmental studies, business, sociology, gender and sexuality, cross-cultural studies, music, religion, and communications and media.

The contemporary tax landscape is experiencing a legitimacy crisis caused by macro-economic disturbances in the past decade, as well as numerous revelations in the media such as Swissleaks, Luxleaks and the Panama Papers. This crisis has resulted in people losing trust in their government and in corporations, thereby becoming more reluctant to give their share of money for redistribution. Why are states or collective institutions not able to generate the sufficient level of trust that would enable them to collect enough revenue? Who or what is responsible for the decline in trust? What are the key factors contributing to the decline in trust? Why do the levels of trust differ between states? Is this strictly a fiscal issue, meaning that we should search for the root of the issue only in the properties of tax systems and the differences between tax systems? Or are there institutional structures and political ideologies which differ from state to state that might be able to explain this difference? Written by experts in their field and with an interdisciplinary perspective Building Trust in Taxation analyses a topical issue which is integral to the development of society. Bruno Peeters is Professor of Tax Law at the University of Antwerp. His current research interests lie in legal principles, European and corporate tax law. Hans Gribnau is Professor of Tax Law at Tilburg University and at Leiden University. His research focuses on legal principles, tax governance, tax compliance and tax ethics. Jo Badisco is a doctoral researcher at the department of philosophy at the University of Antwerp. His current research is on the problem of international taxation which he approaches from a philosophical angle

Frédérique Six (1962) studied Environmental Engineering at Wageningen University. Upon graduation in 1987 she joined McKinsey & Company as a business analyst and obtained her MBA at INSEAD (Fontainebleau, France) in 1988. She rejoined McKinsey & Company as an associate and worked in the Amsterdam and London offices from 1989-1993 providing management consulting services to top management of large corporations and government institutions. From 1993 through 1999 she worked with KPMG Environmental Consulting as a senior management consultant and with KPMG Inspire Foundation as a senior researcher researching new ways of organizing. She has coedited The trust process, empirical studies of the determinants and the process of trust development (with Bart Nooteboom, Edward Elgar, 2003). In 2004 she obtained her Ph.D. in management at Erasmus University Rotterdam and joined the department of Public Administration and Organization Science at Free University (Amsterdam). Her research focuses on integrity and trust within and between organizations in both public and private sector. Her research interests are integrity dilemmas; dynamics of trust processes in work relations; creating structures and processes that stimulate integrity and trust; creating conditions for learning, innovation and change in organizations; tackling social challenges with dialogue in issue networks, social entrepreneurship and social partnerships. ; The purpose of this study is to find out more about how trust works as an interactive and asymmetrical process, how trust is built up against the inevitable occurrence of trouble and how organizational policies and settings affect the generation and maintenance of trust. A theory of interpersonal trust building is developed based on relational signalling theory. The key argument put forward in this study is that for interpersonal trust to be built in work relations within organizations, both individuals in the relationship need to have their actions guided by a stable normative frame. Thus the stability of normative frames becomes a joint goal and likely to be jointly produced within the relationship. The theory shows that for interpersonal trust to be built (1) legitimate distrust situations must be taken away through interest alignment arrangements, (2) institutional arrangements must be put in place that stimulate frame resonance, (3) both individuals must regularly perform actions conveying positive relational signals and (4) both individuals involved in a trouble situation must at least act in ways that are not perceived as negative relational signals. A multiple case study strategy was applied covering two organizations. Embedded within the case study strategy, a multi-method approach was used with interviews, observations, a questionnaire survey, documents and verification meetings as instruments for three types of analysis: a quantitative trust and trouble event analysis, a quantitative survey analysis and qualitative analyses.

IRIS is the co-ordinating body of a UK science eInfrastructure and is a collaboration between UKRI-STFC, its resource providers and representatives from the science activities themselves. We document the progress of an ongoing project to build a security policy trust framework suitable for use across the IRIS community. The EU H2020-funded AARC projects addressed the challenges involved in integrating identity services across different infrastructures, thereby allowing research communities to securely share data and resources. The result of this work hinged around the AARC Blueprint Architecture allowing federations of services and identity providers to connect via one or more proxies. In addition to AARC technical architecture documents and guidelines, a policy team created a set of template policies published as the AARC Policy Development Kit (PDK), which following the completion of the AARC projects will find a long term home under the SCI working group of the WISE community. Derived from existing practice, the PDK aims to assist in efficiently bootstrapping Research Infrastructures in the operation of an authentication and authorisation infrastructure in line with the AARC Blueprint Architecture, making them accessible to researchers in an easy and secure fashion. We document the experience gained by the IRIS community in adopting component policies of the PDK to form a policy foundation for resource sharing, access and trust. The lack of such an established trust framework hindered the early growth of IRIS activities and the promise of a 'ready-made' framework of templates, based on current best practice recommendations for federated environments, available for use made the PDK an obvious place to start. Starting with an examination of stakeholder requirements and discussion of how to map these to the PDK templates, we describe the current status of the process to create a sub-set of policies to form a trust framework for a national infrastructure collaboration.

THIS ARTICLE CONSIDERS HOW SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS MIGHT, WITHIN THE LIMITS SET BY LIBERAL JUSTICE, CONTRIBUTE TO THE UNITY OF MODERN SOCIETIES. IT DETAILS THE KIND OF UNITY WHICH LIBERAL DEMOCRACIES OUGHT TO PURSUE AND ARGUES THAT WHILE UNITY IN AND OF ITSELF IS NOT A MORALLY WORTHWHILE GOAL, IT BECOMES SUCH A GOAL WHEN IT IS SUSTAINED BY TRUST AMONG CITIZENS.
