Abstract
Ombudsman Responsiveness and Political Trust
Does the presence of a monitoring, representative institution
increase a country's
level of political trust? The Ombudsman is intended to serve as a
type of intermediary
between governmental institutions and a country's citizenry and
also keep watch for issues
of maladministration. I hypothesize that variations in
responsiveness of the Ombudsman
institution will lead to more or less generalized political trust.
This project aims to explain
responsiveness in the Ombudsman institution across countries and
how it affects a
country's level of political trust.
