07 Local Democracy - A Feasible Alternative to Top-Down Governing?

Update: 2022-02-11

Description

With Tamas Wells and Sam Sai Kham

Democracy is one of the most used buzzwords when it comes to Myanmar. In episode 7 of "Myanmar in a Podshell", we don't talk primarily about democracy as a form of governing or as a buzzword, but about concrete democracy and democratic structures and practices at the community level in Myanmar. In other words, we want to understand what people in Myanmar actually make of the concept of democracy.
