On 6th October 2015, the ICCS held a workshop on trust at the University of Birmingham. The purpose of the workshop was to bring together experts from a variety of disciplinary perspectives to discuss trust and deception in international politics. How do trust and deception affect each other? Why, when, and how do leaders and policy-makers attempt to deceive each other and their publics? What are the available tools to detect deception? Can trust be built in an environment in which deception is perceived to be the norm? Scholars convened to tackle the theory and application of their current research.
