What You Need To Know:
✓ The collapse of mainstream media as well as social media are reasons as to why fact-based arguments are declining and conspiracy theories and imaginary stories are becoming the norm;
✓ “If the media is just writing about nonsense and fake scandals, then that’s what the government reacts to – not public concern;”
✓ The popularity of Donald Trump in United States, much the Brexit vote are votes against globalization and establishment, more than anything;
✓ “Clearly this is all in Russia’s interest because it divides and undermines the West. Not only Western political and economic institutions but also the image of the West and the world. As a stable Western democracy as a source of stability as a source of prosperity and also the underlying liberal order.”
While Ukraine seems to be in a perpetual political stalemate, the West doesn't seem to be doing so well itself. Western democracies are facing a populist resurgence, with candidates like Donald Trump in the United States gaining popularity in a way that has caught many journalists by surprise.
According to American Publicist, Anne Applebaum, the collapse of mainstream media as well as social media are reasons as to why fact-based arguments are declining and conspiracy theories and imaginary stories are becoming the norm. “You now have whole political movements based on illogical propositions or people who make claims that can’t be proved and it’s becoming more and more difficult to have a rational debate about policy.”
While credible news platforms exist, Applebaum stresses that not everyone follows these sources. And while the media can be used as a tool to exert pressure on the government, “but if the media is just writing about nonsense and fake scandals, then that’s what the government reacts to – not public concern.”
The popularity of Donald Trump in United States, much the Brexit vote are votes against globalization and establishment, more than anything, says Applebaum. Those who will vote for Trump are largely voting against the nepotism and oligarchy of the Democratic and Republican parties who chose to put forward main candidates from the Clinton and Bush families.
British people voting to leave the EU, will not have much to do with Europe at all: “a lot of the emotions around the debate won’t have to do with the realities of European institutions and what it means that Britain is part of them.”
And according to Applebaum, the demise of western democracies is very pleasing for countries like Russia: “Clearly this is all in Russia’s interest because it divides and undermines the West. Not only Western political and economic institutions but also the image of the West and the world. As a stable Western democracy as a source of stability as a source of prosperity and also the underlying liberal order.”

People everywhere are better off living in liberal democracy: that has been the reigning assumption of the western world. But could it be we've got it wrong? If you were one of the world's billions of poor peasants might you not be better off under a system dedicated to political stability and economic growth -- one that has lifted 400 million out of poverty -- rather than one preoccupied with human rights, the rule of law, and the chance to vote out unpopular rulers? Thanks to the Chinese model of government life expectancy in Shanghai is now higher than in New York.
So is China better off without democracy? Or is that just the age-old mantra of the tyrant? That's the clash of civilisations that played out on November 7th.

Western Democracy (sometimes called Liberal Democracy) is failing. What are the major problems with Western democracy? How can it be fixed?
Liberal democracy is a form of government in which representative democracy operates under the principles of liberalism, i.e. protecting the rights of the individual, which are generally enshrined in law. It is characterised by fair, free, and competitive elections between multiple distinct political parties, a separation of powers into different branches of government, the rule of law in everyday life as part of an open society, and the equal protection of human rights, civil rights, civil liberties, and political freedoms for all persons. To define the system in practice, liberal democracies often draw upon a constitution, either formally written or uncodified, to delineate the powers of government and enshrine the social contract. After a period of sustained expansion throughout the 20th century, liberal democracy became the predominant political system in the world.

Twisted tales from history
Lately been convincing me
Systematic land grabs
And war's creating misery
48, 56, 67, 73
Destruction in the name of Western Democracy
Holy land, that's the deed
That fuels this racist war machine
While the Western press slams Iran
For acting so religiously
Hyporcrisy, that's what I see
Occupation propped by bigotry
Ignorance towards arab lands
That dictates which facts we see
Twisted tales from history
Lately been convincing me
Systematic land grabs
And war's creating misery
The British Mandate, Mossedegh
The Hashemite monarchy
Destruction in the name of Western Democracy
Phillistinee children spread all over the region
The survivors of al-Nakba, uprooted and imprisoned
Groves of ancient olive trees plowed over in a moment
Refugees piling in to Lebanon and Jordan
And Iraq, who ain't forgot about the Ameriyya massacre
Or the highway of death, that summarized the last war
Soldiers flying from Kuwait in Bush's helicopters
Firing missiles into soldiers surrendering in Basra
Twisted tales from history
Lately been convincing me
Systematic land grabs
And war's creating misery
Covert bombings aimed at Nasser
Small Pox sold to Saddam Hussein
Destruction in the name of Western Democracy
The modern feats of medicine
Ascribed to wealthy British men
We're the works of Arab doctors
And Persian mathematicians
Algebra, the 1, 2, 3s
The science and Astronomy
Education as the basis of real democracy
I don't care or you're a Muslim or Jew
I care about what you do
You take my land, blockade my ports
I'll fire missiles at you too
And that's not to say I'd like to live this way
No one wants to see their people dying everyday
Or having to bomb the border wall just to get medicine
Digging tunnels into Egypt to smuggle food and water in
Sewage spilling out into the blue shores of Palestine
The culture, the land, the people, a slow and brutal genocide
Holy land, that's the deed
That fuels this little war machine
The justifies apartheid
To benefit Israelis
Hypocrisy, that's what I see
We're blinded by this bigotry
Ignorance towards Islam
That dictates which facts we see

Many people in non-Western countries say that they want a democratic system of governance—but just not Western-style democracy. Yet what is meant by non-Western democracy often remains unclear, and at times is merely a cover for non-democratic practices.

Western democracy "not good" for long-term interests of people: analyst
SOUNDBITE: (ENGLISH)DANIEL BELL, Tsinghua University professor
"I mean the problem with the western democracy is that even if they work well - which they don't always. In the American system, obviously the power of capital and money influencing the outcome is very very strong. Other countries are not so bad in that sense. But even when they work well -- the political leaders do a good job of representing the interest of voters. The problem is that it' s not just the voters who are affected by the policies of government. It's also future generations and its people living outside the country. Look at a big country like the U.S. . Whatever they do affects the rest of the world, but people outside the U.S don't have a say in the political system. So it's good to have - at least at the higher levels of government - political leaders who are not so bound by the short-term interest of the electorate and potentially they could represent the interest of future generations and people living outside the country "Tianxia" - to use the language of Confucianism. If you think of issues like climate change, this isn't just a theoretical problem obviously. It could be that we're facing a huge disaster and democracies not coming to terms with that. The reason is that democracies aren't good at representing the long-term interests of people. I think political meritocracy - if not in an actual but in a potential way- can do a better job."

Promoting democracy in Africa has been a policy focus for successive US administrations in the post-cold war era. Since President Barack Obama took office in 2009, the American government has provided some form of backing for many of the two dozen presidential elections and several dozen national and local legislative polls that have been held across the continent. According to the Congressional Research Service, the administration has identified democracy-building programs as its top foreign assistance priority in Africa, after three presidential global initiatives directed at health, hunger and climate change, and has asked Congress this year for a 19 percent increase. President Obama, when he spoke in July of 2009 before the Ghanaian parliament, made it absolutely clear that Africa needs more democratic institutions, not more strong men. We try wherever possible to be supportive of the strengthening of democratic institutions and the democratic process. We work with local groups to promote civic education, to strengthen independent electoral commissions, to strengthen legislative bodies that work effectively for their constituencies, to create and strengthen strong judiciaries, and to support monitoring for elections.

Liberal democracy
Liberal democracy is a political ideology and a form of government in which representative democracy operates under the principles of liberalism. It is characterised by fair, free, and competitive elections between multiple distinct political parties, a separation of powers into different branches of government, the rule of law in everyday life as part of an open society, and the equal protection of human rights, civil rights, civil liberties, and political freedoms for all people. To define the system in practice, liberal democracies often draw upon a constitution, either formally written or uncodified, to delineate the powers of government and enshrine the social contract. After a period of sustained expansion throughout the 20th century, liberal democracy became the predominant political system in the world.
A liberal democracy may take various constitutional forms: it may be a constitutional republic (France, India, the United States) or a constitutional monarchy (Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom). It may have a presidential system (Indonesia, the United States), a semi-presidential system (France, Taiwan), or a parliamentary system (India, Italy, the United Kingdom).

Tony Blair
Anthony Charles Lynton Blair (born 6 May 1953) is a British Labour Party politician, who served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1997 to 2007. He now runs a consultancy business and performs charitable work. Blair was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Sedgefield from 1983 to 2007 and Leader of the Labour Party from 1994 to 2007. Blair led Labour to a landslide victory in the 1997 general election, winning 418 seats, the most the party has ever held. The party went on to win two more elections under his leadership: in 2001, in which it won another landslide victory, and in 2005, with a reduced majority.
Blair was elected Labour Party leader in the leadership election of July 1994, following the sudden death of his predecessor, John Smith. Under Blair's leadership, the party used the phrase "New Labour" to distance it from previous Labour policies and its opposition to the traditional conception of socialism. Blair declared support for a new conception that he referred to as "social-ism", involving politics that recognised individuals as socially interdependent, and advocated social justice, cohesion, equal worth of each citizen, and equal opportunity. Critics of Blair denounced him for having the Labour Party abandon genuine socialism and accepting capitalism. Supporters, including the party's public opinion pollster Philip Gould, stated that after four consecutive general election defeats, Labour had to demonstrate that it had made a decisive break from its left-wing past, in order to win again.

What You Need To Know:
✓ The collapse of mainstream media as well as social media are reasons as to why fact-based arguments are declining and conspiracy theories and imaginary stories are becoming the norm;
✓ “If the media is just writing about nonsense and fake scandals, then that’s what the government reacts to – not public concern;”
✓ The popularity of Donald Trump in United States, much the Brexit vote are votes against globalization and establishment, more than anything;
✓ “Clearly this is all in Russia’s interest because it divides and undermines the West. Not only Western political and economic institutions but also the image of the West and the world. As a stable Western democracy as a source of stability as a source of prosperity and also the underlying liberal order.”
While Ukraine seems to be in a perpetual political stalemate, the West doesn't seem to be doing so well itself. Western democracies are facing a populist resurgence, with candidates like Donald Trump in the United States gaining popularity in a way that has caught many journalists by surprise.
According to American Publicist, Anne Applebaum, the collapse of mainstream media as well as social media are reasons as to why fact-based arguments are declining and conspiracy theories and imaginary stories are becoming the norm. “You now have whole political movements based on illogical propositions or people who make claims that can’t be proved and it’s becoming more and more difficult to have a rational debate about policy.”
While credible news platforms exist, Applebaum stresses that not everyone follows these sources. And while the media can be used as a tool to exert pressure on the government, “but if the media is just writing about nonsense and fake scandals, then that’s what the government reacts to – not public concern.”
The popularity of Donald Trump in United States, much the Brexit vote are votes against globalization and establishment, more than anything, says Applebaum. Those who will vote for Trump are largely voting against the nepotism and oligarchy of the Democratic and Republican parties who chose to put forward main candidates from the Clinton and Bush families.
British people voting to leave the EU, will not have much to do with Europe at all: “a lot of the emotions around the debate won’t have to do with the realities of European institutions and what it means that Britain is part of them.”
And according to Applebaum, the demise of western democracies is very pleasing for countries like Russia: “Clearly this is all in Russia’s interest because it divides and undermines the West. Not only Western political and economic institutions but also the image of the West and the world. As a stable Western democracy as a source of stability as a source of prosperity and also the underlying liberal order.”

Event info:
People everywhere are better off living in liberal democracy: that has been the reigning assumption of the western world. But could it be we've got it wrong? If you were one of the world's billions of poor peasants might you not be better off under a system dedicated to political stability and economic growth -- one that has lifted 400 million out of poverty -- rather than one preoccupied with human rights, the rule of law, and the chance to vote out unpopular rulers? Thanks to the Chinese model of government life expectancy in Shanghai is now higher than in New York.
So is China better off without democracy? Or is that just the age-old mantra of the tyrant? That's the clash of civilisations that played out on November 7th.

Western Democracy (sometimes called Liberal Democracy) is failing. What are the major problems with Western democracy? How can it be fixed?
Liberal democracy is a form of government in which representative democracy operates under the principles of liberalism, i.e. protecting the rights of the individual, which are generally enshrined in law. It is characterised by fair, free, and competitive elections between multiple distinct political parties, a separation of powers into different branches of government, the rule of law in everyday life as part of an open society, and the equal protection of human rights, civil rights, civil liberties, and political freedoms for all persons. To define the system in practice, liberal democracies often draw upon a constitution, either formally written or uncodified, to delineate the powers of government and enshrine the social contract. After a period of sustained expansion throughout the 20th century, liberal democracy became the predominant political system in the world.

Destruction in the name of Western Democracy

Groves of ancient olive trees plowed over in a moment
Refugees piling in to Lebanon and Jordan

I care about what you do
You take my land, blockade my ports
I'll fire missiles at you too
And that's not to say I'd like to live this way
No one wants to see their people dying everyday
Or having to bomb the border wall just to get medicine
Digging tunnels into Egypt to smuggle food and water in
Sewage spilling out into the blue shores of Palestine
The culture, the land, the people, a slow and brutal genocide

Western democracy "not good" for long-term interests of people: analyst
SOUNDBITE: (ENGLISH)DANIEL BELL, Tsinghua University professor
"I mean the problem with the western democracy is that even if they work well - which they don't always. In the American system, obviously the power of capital and money influencing the outcome is very very strong. Other countries are not so bad in that sense. But even when they work well -- the political leaders do a good job of representing the interest of voters. The problem is that it' s not just the voters who are affected by the policies of government. It's also future generations and its people living outside the country. Look at a big country like the U.S. . Whatever they do affects the rest of the world, but people outside the U.S don't have a say in the political system. So it's good to have - at least at the higher levels of government - political leaders who are not so bound by the short-term interest of the electorate and potentially they could represent the interest of future generations and people living outside the country "Tianxia" - to use the language of Confucianism. If you think of issues like climate change, this isn't just a theoretical problem obviously. It could be that we're facing a huge disaster and democracies not coming to terms with that. The reason is that democracies aren't good at representing the long-term interests of people. I think political meritocracy - if not in an actual but in a potential way- can do a better job."

Promoting democracy in Africa has been a policy focus for successive US administrations in the post-cold war era. Since President Barack Obama took office in 2009, the American government has provided some form of backing for many of the two dozen presidential elections and several dozen national and local legislative polls that have been held across the continent. According to the Congressional Research Service, the administration has identified democracy-building programs as its top foreign assistance priority in Africa, after three presidential global initiatives directed at health, hunger and climate change, and has asked Congress this year for a 19 percent increase. President Obama, when he spoke in July of 2009 before the Ghanaian parliament, made it absolutely clear that Africa needs more democratic institutions, not more strong men. We try wherever possible to be supportive of the strengthening of democratic institutions and the democratic process. We work with local groups to promote civic education, to strengthen independent electoral commissions, to strengthen legislative bodies that work effectively for their constituencies, to create and strengthen strong judiciaries, and to support monitoring for elections.
