| Summary: | The purpose of this study is to examine public opinion regarding perspectives of sharing economy as a factor of civic and political participation. The research is focused on issues related to influence of sharing economy practices and crowdsourced digital trust on social capital, civic cooperation and political activism. The study is based on materials of the sociological survey conducted in four regions of the Russian Federation — Moscow, St. Petersburg, Krasnodar, and Nalchik. There is a connection revealed between a higher level of participation in sharing economy and (1) increased importance of digital trust in the overall structure of trust sources, (2) a greater readiness for informal cooperation, (3) a higher voter turnout and a more critical attitude to the state authorities and current political institutions. As a result, authors conclude that sharing economy is causing changes in traditional system of societal relations, which creates the prerequisites for transformation of civil and political institutions. However, further long-term observations of the effects of sharing economy practices along with other social factors are needed to assess the sustainability of the causality. |
