In reading Chih-yu Shih (https://theloop.ecpr.eu/how-do-we-translate-the-meaning-of-democracy-across-linguistic-and-cultural-divides/), we can see how common ground can be found between a comparison of Confucianism and liberal democracy.
Both, as Shih, demonstrates, share "a common desire for a style of policymaking exempt from a monopoly".
If you were to compare two concepts of democratic governance which would they be? And what approach would you use to compare them?
To raise the difficulty of this discussion, what if we were to compare 3, 5 or 15 concepts? What utility/ies or outcome/s can or should we expect from such an undertaking?
