Why do some individuals choose to protest political grievances via non-violent means,
while others take up arms? What role does whom we trust play in how we collectively
act? This book explores these questions by delving into the relationship between interpersonal
trust and the nature of the political movements that individuals choose to join. Utilizing
the examples of the Arab Spring uprisings in Egypt, Libya and Syria, a novel theoretical
model that links the literature on social capital and interpersonal trust to violent
collective action is developed and extended. Beyond simply bringing together two lines
of literature, this theoretical model can serve as a prism from which the decision
to join terrorist organizations or violent movements may be analyzed. The implications
of the theory are then examined more closely through an in-depth look at the behavior
of members of political movements at the outset of the Arab Spring, as well as statistical
tests of the relationship between interpersonal trust and terrorism in the Middle
East and globally.
