Jakou roli může hrát sociální kapitál v teoriích regionálního rozvoje? Jaké jsou souvislosti sociálního kapitálu v České republice? Jaký vztah je mezi sociálním kapitálem jednotlivců a jejich sociodemografickým, sociokulturním, socioekonomickým a teritoriálním zázemím? A jak si stojí české regiony v úrovni sociálního kapitálu v kontextu evropských regionů?

This article sets out to identify the factors that can help explain trust in selected political institutions in the Czech Republic. The life-time learning model was used as the theoretical framework for this investigation. The results of the analyses showed that the particular level of trust in an institution is influenced more by institutional performance than by the effect of socialization within the predominant political culture, which was not very strong.
