Bhutanese and scholars alike: Bhutan from monachy to democracy????

Question

I don't mean any disrespect to the Kng, I'm curious as to whether Bhutanese think a democracy will work.

Why has the King ordered that Bhutan become a democracy?

If so, what advantages will a democracy offer. If not, what negative impact will a democracy have on Bhutan?

Does anyone feel that Bhutan will have a polyarchal political culture 20 years from now?

Answer 1

I think what has happened in Nepal has frightened a lot of rulers in that region. Better to become a figurehead then be driven out of your country
