Various studies have shown that it can both be a lubricant for cooperation as well as a something that increases the complexity and uncertainty actors need to deal with, as for example happened with the implementation of the Investment Budget for Rural Areas in the Netherlands:

hello Raoul,

thank you for your reply, I am happy to see the two interesting contributions you attached. Maybe too much trust can cause a lock-in situation where critical reflection is impossible. So yes, trust might support or lubricate transformative social learning depending on types and levels of trust....and therefore contribute to the uncertainty and complexity. yes.

regards, Jifke
