Welcome to Episode 17 of Culture Flow!
For this episode of Culture Flow, I am joined by Dr Nessan Akemakou to discuss Democracy and Cultures.
Dr Nessan Akemakou is a Professor and Researcher in Political Science at the University of Toulouse 1 Capitole and at Sciences Po Toulouse, France. He holds a Doctorate in International Relations and his work focuses, among other things, on the impact of the nature of a political regime on its external behavior, as well as on governance and conflict in Africa. He is also Director of Publications for the Think-Tank “L’Afrique des idées”,, which translates "The Africa of Ideas", a laboratory of ideas that aims to contribute to public debate within the African continent, in particular through the formulation of concrete recommendations on economic, social and political subjects.
If you are like me and 2020 has made you re-think the concept of Democracy, this episode is for you. In a very thoughtful and insightful way, Dr Nessan Akemakou, helps us breakdown the concept of Democracy itself, analyse the current climate between shaky democracies and people-led uprisings, and shares so many gems. Please listen until the end to hear his answer on the correlation between democracy and culture, truly enlightening.
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
