Democracy Across Cultures

D360

How are practices and concepts related to democracy articulated in different cultural contexts? Faculty members affiliated with the UVA Karsh Institute’s Nau Lab on the History & Principles of Democracy gather to discuss three specific examples: the classical ancient world, indigenous Latin America, and Islamic societies. Panelists think through the differences among them and how resonances can illuminate new possibilities for democratic thought, helping to develop future approaches to democracy from varied perspectives and traditions.
