Graded Discussion on Democracy. Can there be too much of a good thing?
Hi Everyone,
Okay, this week we are beginning (or in some ways continuing) our discussion of different forms of governing philosophies with a focus on democracy. As we will see the term democracy has been stretched over the preceding several hundred years to mean different things. Democracy can be ‘rule by the people’ but there are also other strands such liberal democracy, social democracy, direct democracy, and other terms such as social democracy, democratic socialism, which use the term democracy for their own definitions. Furthermore, democracy is more than elections. Elections can occur in non-democracies (e.g. Iran, Putin’s Russia, Venezuela) and elections can be used to subvert democracy (more on this in the coming weeks). So democracy is more than elections but it can also mean different policies or practices to different people.
Having said this, I want you to do the readings, listen/watch the videos and ask yourself what is democracy to you, and can there be too much or not enough? Are there potential challenges in having too much democracy?
