Research at the Albert Hirschman Centre on DemocracyAuthor: Albert Hirschman Centre on Democracy
What does research in democracy in the 21st century look like? How can we study a political system that is under constant challenge? For years, the Albert Hirschman Centre for Democracy has pioneered a collaborative approach that draws on the views of its namesake Albert O. Hirschman and now shares it with listeners in podcast form. Transgressing disciplinary and academic boundaries to bring new takes on forms of government, the Research at the AHCD podcast invites its researchers to meditate on their fieldwork, their methods and their readings, and the meaning of democracy. The audio form is a nod to the concept of voice in Exit, Voice, and Loyalty, which might just be central to understanding current democratic practices. Join us every week for a new episode and a fresh approach on democratic rule, research, and experiences.
