Niaz Institute of Governance Studies, BRAC University Governance and development Community Social capital Background paper for The State of Governance in Bangladesh 2013. IGS Working Paper Series No. 12/2013 Includes bibliographical references (pages 13-16) This paper presents new evidence on the individual and community specific determinants of social trust using data from 96 villages in Bangladesh, a country with high levels of institutional corruption and poor governance. We find perceived institutional trust to be positively correlated with inter-personal trust. At the same time, there is significant social distance amongst various faith groups in our data: Hindus (religious minorities) trust Muslims and other non-Hindus more than Muslims trust Hindus and other non-Muslims. We also find no evidence that Hindus are distrustful of the wider society in general. The lack of trust towards Hindus (and other non-Muslims) is significantly correlated with Islamic school attendance amongst Muslim respondents whilst religiosity appears to play no role. These findings are robust to control for a wide range of individual and community level correlates and do not proxy for between religion differences in institutional trust. Lastly, when compared to religion, effects of institutional trust and local economic development (including presence of NGO activity) are modest. M.
