The failure of the airline, which was also partly a consequence of 9/11, would probably not have happened if a broad-based management had been involved in strategy development. Take the traumatic collapse of the Swiss airline Swissair in 2001: the main reason this happened was the completely misguided and highly risky strategy of its last boss, which consisted of buying up a succession of ailing small airlines. The CEO who determines the direction of their company as a lone wolf is becoming a thing of the past. Differences in age, education levels, biographies, genders, identities, values, languages and cultures are intended to help optimise strategies, products and the working environment as well as to minimise mistakes and risks. To be successful, companies tap into their pool of employees in a targeted manner. Democracy consciously relies on the diversity and plurality of its citizens in order to find solutions that benefit as many people as possible.īusinesses already treat diversity as a resource. The basis of this “something” is diversity, which is in a sense the great unwritten law of democracy. “So from the point of view of democratic theory, you are forfeiting something.” Diversity – the ultimate democratic resource
“Those who deny access to political rights to groups such as women, people with a migrant background, 16- or 17-year-olds, or people with disabilities, deprive themselves of alternative perspectives,” he adds. Marc Bühlmann, a political science professor and democracy researcher at the University of Bern, puts it this way: “When the electorate is broadened in a democracy, this increases the discursive potential of the arguments put forward in a debate.” True inclusion plays a key role in efforts to strengthen democracies from within – that is, to make them more resilient. We will also hear views from the opposing side, which knows that the political majority in the country is behind it. We introduce people who are fighting for “true inclusion” - comprehensive inclusion of all the biggest minorities. In this SWI swissinfo.ch series, we focus on a principle of democracy that has barely featured in the resilience debate so far: inclusion.

Resilience is a key element of the debate about how to handle this multifaceted crisis: democracies should strengthen their resilience and robustness "from within" in order to be better able to fend off threats. In the short term, it is because of the coronavirus pandemic and since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The question of who can participate politically in a democracy and who has no political rights is a fundamental one.ĭemocracy is in its greatest crisis since the Second World War and the Cold War.įrom a longer-term perspective, this is because of the trend towards authoritarianism and autocracy of roughly the last 15 years. Participants attending the Ukraine Recovery Conference in the southern Swiss city of Lugano this past June repeatedly heard two key messages: “Russia’s war against Ukraine is an attack on all democracies in Europe” and “Resilience is essential for democracy”.īehind these phrases were high-profile speakers like European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and the presidents of the Ukrainian and Swiss parliaments, Ruslan Stefanchuk and Irène Kälin, respectively.
