Confidence Across Cleavage: The Swiss Rural–Urban Divide, Place‐Based Identity and Political Trust
Summary. This study examines political trust differences between rural and urban Switzerland using survey data from 4,000 respondents. While a rural–urban divide exists in direct democratic votes, the paper finds only a small direct difference in political trust levels. However, place-based identity significantly shapes this relationship: rural residents show higher trust when place identity is weak, but urban residents show higher trust when place identity is strong.
