Upcoming Events:
LSE IDEAS - Debate on Narratives of Civic Duty: How National Stories Shape Democracy in Asia | 4 June, 6-8pm
Our speakers, Atsuko Ichijo and Yookyeong Im join the author, Aram Hur, for a debate on her book which investigates the impulse behind a sense of civic duty in democracies. Why, she asks, do some citizens feel a responsibility to vote, pay taxes, or take up arms in defense of one's country? Through comparing democratic societies in East Asia and elsewhere, Hur shows that the sense of obligation to be a good citizen—upon which the resilience of a democracy depends—emerges from a force long thought detrimental to democracy itself: national attachments.
