In this video, we explore the hidden dynamics behind military coups, political power, and the transfer of democratic institutions. Drawing insights from history, we delve into:
🔹 The legacy of the British Empire and its struggle to transplant democratic ideals.
🔹 Why military coups are unthinkable in some countries but prevalent in others.
🔹 How subjective beliefs shape the “objective” conditions of society.
🔹 The profound role of cultural and historical ideas in creating stable governance.
From Nigeria’s political turmoil to Russia’s pivotal moments under Yeltsin, we examine how power isn’t just about institutions—it’s about the people who believe in them. 🤔
