仍舊貧窮,但是民主:全球化時代的印度民主
Poor but Democratic : Democracy in India in the Age of Globalization

貧窮,就不能奢談民主?
印度,一個矛盾的民主政治試驗場,打破經濟與民主並進的迷思。
但是,印度的民主成熟到什麼程度?
在選舉型的民主中,族群與宗教差異成為分化劑;
在全球化的衝擊下,貧富差距惡化,
印度民主面臨全新的挑戰與壓力,印度該如何面對?
亞洲其他新興民主與印度是否有共通之處?


Many rulers like to claim democracy only comes after wealth. What about India then? Indian democracy is one of the world's greatest political experiments and it has worked.

At the same time it seems to have entered a complex phase. Electoral politics have sharpened ethnic and religious divisions, leading to a rise in violence against minorities. Globalization and the rise of economic inequality have also confronted India with fresh challenges and pressure. Can the contradictory experience of democracy in India give a revelation to those democratic experiments elsewhere in Asia?

Come to listen to one of the brightest minds coming from the ancient and modern land of India.
