Abstract

A normal functioning of the society involves mechanisms for conflicts regulation and institutions that favor the emergence of cooperative structures. "Partnership" is one of these structures. The term refers to relationships and agreements between individuals, firms and communities, from local to global scale. It is an instrument for solving issues of collective interest such as economic development, social cohesion, employment and risk sharing. Trust may be the result of a long term successful cooperation and risks sharing. In the former, pre-industrial societies, trust was generated in small groups by face-to-face interactions and spread from bottom-up. Then, the shared social virtues like honesty, reciprocity and the respect to commitments became the base of social capital and of intra- and intergroup cooperation. But in the last twenty years, a large number of researches found a deficit of trust in our societies, empirically translated by the breakup of families, the decreasing number of spontaneous associations and increased violence, crime and costs of cooperation. Trust diminishes our-days and this happens while the number of contacts and partnership agreements increase. Is it a paradox? In our complex and fluid world characterized more and more by risks and uncertainties trust could be rebuilt from up to bottom: from the stable states to a mobile society.
