América Latina y el Caribe by Francisco Aravena

La convivencia democratica solo es posible en un entorno de confianza. La confianza es el fundamento de toda relacion social que no este sustentada en la fuerza. En contextos democraticos recurrir a la imposicion es una practica ilegitima y reprochable, por lo que se deben establecer relaciones diferentes, relaciones de confianza. La confianza aumenta las posibilidades de cooperacion mas alla de la interaccion con personas conocidas. Por otro lado, la confianza reduce los costos de transaccion en las relaciones sociales y agiliza la toma de decisiones. Es el punto de partida para la derivacion de reglas para la conducta apropiada. La confianza actua como una columna vertebral en la interaccion de las personas, en la relacion de los ciudadanos con el Estado y las instituciones, asi como en la relacion bilateral, regional o multilateral de los paises para hacerle frente a los desafios del acontecer mundial. Este libro forma parte del proyecto Gobernabilidad y convivencia democratica en America Latina y el Caribe, el cual cuenta con el auspicio de la Agencia Espanola de Cooperacion Internacional para el Desarrollo (AECID). Los autores afirman que la confianza es un ingrediente clave para la consolidacion de la gobernabilidad y la convivencia democraticas. Cada uno desarrolla distintas dimensiones de la confianza, la confianza politica, la confianza academica, la confianza empresarial, la confianza diplomatica, la confianza militar y la confianza desde los pueblos originarios.
Description in English]
Latin America and the Caribbean: Trust, a scarce good?
Democratic coexistence is only possible in an environment of trust. Trust is the foundation for any social relationship not based on force. In democratic contexts, resorting to imposition is an illegitimate and reprehensible practice, which is why it is necessary to establish different relationships - relationships of trust. Trust increases the chances of cooperation beyond interaction with prior acquaintances. In addition, trust reduces transaction costs in social relationships and speeds up decision making. It is the starting point for formulating rules on appropriate behavior. Trust acts as the backbone of interaction between people, and the relations between citizens and the State and institutions, as well as the bilateral, regional or multilateral relations established by countries to deal with the challenges posed by world events. This book forms part of the project entitled Governability and Democratic Coexistence in Latin America and the Caribbean, sponsored by the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID). The authors contend that trust is a key ingredient in the consolidation of democratic governance and coexistence. Each looks at different dimensions of trust: political trust, academic trust, business-related trust, diplomatic trust, military trust and the trust of native peoples.
