  • Summary

    Chapter 5 examines what subverts trust in elites in the European Union, which reached unpreceded lows after the last economic crisis, and finds a strong link between trust and perceived public integrity. European mechanisms to enhance integrity are poor and hypocrisy is high, even in the traditionally best-governed part of the continent. Two long-time member states, Greece and Italy, are the best examples of the limitations of European influence. This chapter traces the indicators of change and stagnation in both countries and explains why Europeanization has not made the Italian South more like the North or Greece more like Bavaria.
