Trustworthy Elections: The Role of Electoral Management Bodies
Autor Therese Pearce Laanelaen Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 iul 2026
While the technical delivery imperatives of election administration are well understood, there is a wider range of stakeholder needs and expectations that matter for trust-building. In addition to delivery-oriented transactional trust, EMB trust-building must also include values-oriented relational trust and the predictability that allows for security-based trust. By highlighting stakeholder viewpoints, the book provides a social perspective to what has been seen as a technical and administrative problem and provides a broader range of pathways for EMB trust-building policy and practice. Conceptually innovative, and drawing from a rich set of empirical data, this book showcases the stresses and dynamics particular to elections and provides policy relevant insights.
With this book, Therese Pearce Laanela aims to inspire and inform policy makers, practitioners and scholars on strategies for electoral authorities to earn the trust needed for accepted elections and peaceful political transitions.

Notă biografică
Dr Therese Pearce Laanela is Head of Electoral Processes at International IDEA, an intergovernmental organization that works with election authorities worldwide. Through her work with leading organisations in the field such as IFES, The Carter Center, UNDP and IDEA, Pearce Laanela has been deeply involved in the development of a variety of seminal publications, networks, databases and training curriculum on electoral administration, including the ACE Electoral Knowledge Network and the BRIDGE course package. Her hands-on experience of organising elections began with United Nations missions in Cambodia and Mozambique in the early 1990s and has continued with international election observer and electoral assistance missions in Africa, Europe, and Asia for organisations such as the OSCE, the European Union, and the Carter Center. Her PhD from the Australian National University uses regulatory theory to investigate trust in EMBs, while her Masters degree from Stockholm University focused on the intersection between political financing, corruption and electoral system design.
Recenzii
As Australia’s former electoral commissioner, I learned that trust is not abstract for election bodies. It is practical, hard won, and easily lost. Built step by step, it can disappear in a single misstep. In an era of mis and disinformation, reputation determines authority. Credibility decides whether people believe the result. This book sets out the work required to earn and protect that trust.
Tom Rogers, Australian Electoral Commissioner 2014-2024
The issue of trust in political institutions is a central challenge around the world – especially in the sphere of elections. This book makes an essential contribution to the literature on electoral management, electoral integrity and the study of democracy. It provides a new electoral trust-building model. This contributes greatly to our understanding of how trust in key democratic institutions can be maintained and strengthened – and where/why they may face challenges in the future.

The architect Gaudi teaches ‘first you need love, then technique’. Both matter, as Laanela’s brilliant book shows. In examining how institutional trust works and how distrust spirals, the book reveals, in a practical way, that both technical delivery imperatives and relational confidence-building must converge. Evocative analysis of stakeholder viewpoints uncovers how predictability leavens and butters the bread of stable democracies. Laanela recounts compelling stories of how lost trust can be flipped to found trust and how the relational skills of electoral management bodies can turn high electoral emotions from a threat into a resource.
