America at 250 | US influence on Australian democracy
About this episode
The episode discusses the influence of the US governance model on Australian democracy in the context of America's 250th anniversary.
Australia’s history over the past 250 years is inextricably linked with the American experiment. What are the successes and challenges of the US diverse and decentralised governance model? How have US politics influenced Australian politics? Can One Nation become like the MAGA movement under a different political system? In honour of America’s semiquincentennial, the USSC has published a compilations of essays and recent polling: Reflections on America at 250 and we will release a series of podcast episodes with the authors. In the first episode in the series we are speaking with Professor Benjamin Reilly about his article: Australian and American democracy at 250 .
