Explain the similarities and differences of democracy in this nation(s) with democracy in the United States in terms of governance and public policy.
Democracies Around the World The United States does not have a monopoly on democracy. Democratic governance is flourishing in other nations around the world. Not all democracies are alike, however. Citizens adapt democratic governance to meet their local needs and conform to their cultural mores. The United Kingdom and the United States are held up as leading examples of democratic governance. Both nations are long established and robust, yet each approaches democratic governance differently. The United Kingdom has a parliamentary government, while the United States has a presidential government. Comparing and contrasting different approaches to democratic governance is an excellent way for you to increase your knowledge of how other governments work and at the same time gain new insights into how you are governed in your own country. To prepare for this Discussion: Review the article Duration of Party Control in Parliamentary and Presidential Governments: A Study of 65 Democracies, 1950 to 1998 in this weeks Learning Resources. Take note of similarities and differences between parliamentary and presidential governments.Review the article Economic Development and Democracy in this weeks Learning Resources.
