This document summarizes the conclusions from a joint OECD and European Union seminar on trust in government. It discusses that citizen trust in government is important for policy legitimacy and success. Reasons for lack of trust include history, lack of political consensus, and economic crisis. Reforms can be incentivized by internal and external pressures. Key foundations for building trust are transparency, accountability, integrity, and participation.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

2. principally financed by the EU
A joint initiative of the OECD and the European Union,
Importance of Trust
- Citizen’s trust in government =
fundamental for acceptance that
government decisions are legitimate
- Only when decisions are perceived as
legitimate will governments be
“successful” in their policies (have good
policy outcomes)
3. principally financed by the EU
A joint initiative of the OECD and the European Union,
Reasons for lack of trust
- History and culture
- Absence of political consensus
(“government doesn’t listen to us”)
- Economic/political crisis
4. principally financed by the EU
A joint initiative of the OECD and the European Union,
Incentives for reform
Internal need felt at different levels
of society
Enthusiasm and desire for change
Expectations of citizens
International standards or EU or
other external pressure
Economic crisis
5. principally financed by the EU
A joint initiative of the OECD and the European Union,
Obstacles to reform
Those afraid of changes because of fear of
•
Loss of political powers
•
Worsening economic situation
Conventional bureaucracy
Civil servants (like all human beings) are
“routine-animals”
6. principally financed by the EU

Conclusions
from presentations and discussions
Key foundation stones for building and
maintaining trust in government:
-
Transparency
Accountability
Integrity
Participation
7. principally financed by the EU
A joint initiative of the OECD and the European Union,
Transparency
- Not an end in itself
- Context matters (transparency not always 1st
demand of citizens)
- Transparency is not communication but
providing clear and complete information
- Quality of information matters (e.g. budget):
-
Timeliness
Relevance
Reliability
Comprehensiveness
8. principally financed by the EU
A joint initiative of the OECD and the European Union,
Accountability
- Results matter
- Public information about government activities
provides basis for holding governments to
account
- Independent expert opinion to explain
technical information needed (e.g.: SAIs to
audit and explain/report) to avoid wrong
interpretations
- example: Financing of political parties:
To avoid that business controls a political party
Accounts are published and controlled
9. • Democracy gaps leading to the desire for integrity
reform and fight against corruption:

Integrity
Debates about values

Challenge: Implementation
• Can integrity systems develop in “non-democratic”

Step by step approach
Rather do the possible than do nothing
Use the time for intellectual work and preparation of a
democratic system until the time is ripe
10. principally financed by the EU
A joint initiative of the OECD and the European Union,
Participation
• Informed societies/citizens
• Encouragement
• Ex.: Participation of NGOs in budget planning
