But ubiquity does not signify uniformity. The diversity of political regimes generates a multiplicity of forms and intensities of mistrust.  Political mistrust seems inherent even in advanced democracies and in semi-democracies, where citizens are better prepared and more prone to criticize the dysfunctions of institutions and condemn the misconduct of politicians.  Political mistrust is greatly nourished in many countries by a wide practice of public corruption.  Of particular sociological interest is the vulnerability of political elites and of their frequent condemnation to “civil death”.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Political Mistrust as a Worldwide Phenomenon  Mattei Dogan   I  Comparative Analyses      Erosion of Confidence in Thirty European Democracies     Mattei Dogan      Political Mistrust in Latin America     Timothy J.
