Lecture at the Faculty of Theology, Uppsala University, February 3, 2016 to a wonderful group of students with different background and disciplines. I had the privilege to meet guest students from Brazil, Morocco, Finland, Turkey, Germany among others countries as well as Swedish students.

What does the social contract look like in Sweden? Why are levels of bridging trust (and not bonding trust!) so high in certain countries? Why do we get together (or not) in associations? What is the sense of community? What role is religion playing? What is the outcome of civil society?
