More than a billion people across Asia have voted so far in 2024, in elections in India, Indonesia, South Korea, Taiwan and more, but outside of the main results the electoral processes and implications for democracy rarely attracted international headlines.

While voting is a key expression of democratic participation, during elections democratic ideals can be challenged. Many of these elections will have repercussions not just for citizens within these countries and the Asian region, but also for the quality of democracy and human rights across the globe.

What can we learn from these elections in Asia? What can we expect from these countries and the leadership styles they represent? Is democracy healthy in Asia?

Speakers:

Kevin Magee AO (Former Australian Representative to Taiwan)

Dr Priya Chacko (Associate Professor of International Politics, University of Adelaide)

Professor Vedi Hadiz (Director and Professor of Asian Studies at the Asia Institute, University of Melbourne)

Dr Ruth Gamble (Senior Lecturer in History and Deputy Director of La Trobe Asia, La Trobe University) - Chair

Recorded 19th June, 2024.
