Scarred by scandal, leaders in such fields as politics, business and
science are viewed with mounting suspicion. How are they being
undermined and what can they do to shore up public trust?
BY PETER GUMBEL

Individuals may form communities, Benjamin Disraeli said, but it is
institutions alone that can create a nation. Our courts, parliaments
and associations set the collective rules of engagement that provide
for the smooth and fair functioning of government, commerce and
society. As the world becomes smaller, international bodies such as the
United Nations and the World Trade Organization are playing similar
roles on a global stage. Yet despite this growing clout (or perhaps
because of it) the public's faith in institutions appears to be waning.
On the eve of the World Economic Forum in Davos, we look at the reasons
for this credibility crisis-and, in a series of profiles, get the
bottom-up view from people whose stories of disaffection and alienation
may contain clues for rebuilding the trust that binds nations and
communities together
