Abstract
Description
This study examines the trust in political institutions in Azerbaijan using the data from the
survey Caucasus Barometer (CB) conducted by the Caucasus Research Resource Center
(CRRC) in 2012e2013. Two hypotheses e cultural and institutional e were tested. The
study partially confirms the previous findings that national culture, as well as individual
socialization (macro and micro-cultural theories) are the main determinants of trust in
Azerbaijan. Meanwhile, government performance and individual evaluation (macro-and
micro institutional theories) did not affect much on the trust level in the country.
