Democracy In... South Korea. Part 1. (S2E1) What Democracy Looks Like In...
-
- Politics
Season Two kicks off with South Korea! My guests Kim and Zeno explain why every former president gets impeached, why compulsory conscription shapes the way voting is organized, and the pros and cons of a one-term Presidential limit.
Along the way they describe a curiously devious way to subvert a system that is meant to ensure smaller parties are represented in the National Assembly. Does South Korea have a two party system disguised as coalition politics?
This is Part One of Two episodes on South Korea. The second half of this interview will follow shortly!
Democracy In... is a podcast that explores what democracy looks and feels like in different countries. In each episode I get the local's perspective on the good, the bad, and the frankly weird of different democratic systems around the world.
