This policy brief investigates underlying assumptions at the policy level on how trust comes about in Security and Rule of Law (SRoL) partnerships. Drawing on a policy review and interviews, it identifies two prevalent ‘Theories of Change’ as causal pathways for SRoL programmes towards enhancing citizens’ trust in security-related state institutions. It then critically reflects on these causal assumptions, considering recent advancements in trust research from various disciplines. Based on analysis, it provides recommendations on how to better reflect trust and trust-building in SRoL policies and programming.

Cette note de synthèse examine les hypothèses sous-jacentes au niveau politique sur la manière dont la confiance s'installe dans les partenariats de sécurité et d'état de droit (SRoL). Sur la base d'un examen des politiques et d'entretiens, elle identifie deux " théories du changement " prédominantes comme voies causales pour les programmes SRoL visant à renforcer la confiance des citoyens dans les institutions étatiques liées à la sécurité. Elle propose ensuite une réflexion critique sur ces hypothèses causales, en tenant compte des avancées récentes de la recherche sur la confiance dans diverses disciplines. Sur la base de cette analyse, il fournit des recommandations sur la manière de mieux refléter la confiance et le renforcement de la confiance dans les politiques et les programmes de SRoL.
