This panel addresses the problem of building trust in state-society relations. Human progress depends on the state’s role and capacity to meet new challenges in a transparent way, while society also needs to become influential and vigilant. Such a process is unthinkable without the active involvement of civil society and faith-based organisations and the comparative advantages they bring in mobilising coalitions of citizens’ groups that can build links with the state. What are some established processes of trust-building that faith-based organisations and civil society actors managed to achieve in state-society relations in the past? In what ways can they cooperate? What kinds of action plans can the architects of interfaith dialogue and civil society actors develop to integrate citizens into decision-making processes and build a trust relationship between them and the state?
