PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Dr James Weinberg is an academic in the Department of Politics at the University of Sheffield with an international reputation for publishing rigorous research on specialist topics in the field of political behaviour. He has held grants from a range of funding bodies such as the ESRC, Leverhulme Trust, and Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust, and he routinely gives guest lectures and media interviews about his research. In 2022, the Apolitical Foundation named him on a global list of '50 influential researchers whose work might help to shape 21st century politicians'.
In this book, Weinberg turns the field of comparative political trust research completely on its head by shifting the common scholarly perspective from citizens to politicians' perceptions of whether or not they're trusted, thereby opening up astounding new insights and research avenues. Having gained personal access to elected officials in three countries, and clearly their trust, all interested readers will be richly rewarded by Weinberg's methodological expertise in data collection and triangulation combined with his academic courage, rigour, and modesty in taking the lead in a henceforth overlooked realm of research. * Professor Sonja Zmerli, Professor of Political Science at Sciences Po Grenoble *
