Election special 2. Elections without democracy
2024 is the year of elections. According to one estimate just under 50% of all the people on earth live in countries where by December 31st there will have been a national vote. To mark this phenomenon we are broadcasting three special programmes.
David Aaronovitch and guests discuss why do some countries bother holding elections if the outcomes are pre-determined and they also ask why the public bother voting in them?
Guests:
Naomi Hossain, Professor of Development Studies at SOAS
Katerina Tertychnaya, Associate Professor in Comparative Politics in the Department of Politics & International Relations at the University of Oxford
Ben Ansell, Professor of Comparative Democratic Institutions at Nuffield College, University of Oxford
Erica Frantz, Associate Professor of Political Science at Michigan State University
Production team: Ellie House, Ajai Singh and Ben Carter
Editor: Richard Vadon
