Democracy and Cultural Diversity [Podcast]

In this 23-minute podcast, we talk about what democracy is and how it is seen differently in different cultures.

The Western concept of democracy is very different from the Indian or Russian, just to name a few.

“If nothing is culturally neutral, neither is democracy.”

Voting is mandatory in Australia too. The fine is also only 20 AUD.

  Thank you for your comment, Tania.
  The correlation is not 100% but it is high.
  France has a high score on hierarchy but their voting is not mandatory.
  However, during the time a French president is in office (S)he enjoys impunity.
  That would not work in Germany, the UK and the Netherlands.
  Hope this adds something.
  Kind regards,
  Chris
