Abstract

This research aims to contribute to the literature by carefully exploring the determinants of political trust in 17 nonconsolidated democracies. To do so, it employs multilevel analyses that incorporate individual‐ and country‐level factors to understand the determinants of political trust in semi‐democracies. Furthermore, we provide in‐depth analyses on an exemplary and often comparatively studied case of a nonconsolidated democracy, Turkey, to better understand the timesensitive dynamics of political trust.
