It seems to be a common viewpoint that it's "obviously" naive to think that the same political institutions could work for everyone around the world.

But lots of day-to-day-life things (city structures, school systems, increasingly even food...) seem to globalize quickly just fine.

Why the difference?

Good q. My gut is that politics is more systemic: A country’s origin story, histories, and cultures make it harder to borrow from another political institution. Importing a version of gov’t is much harder than an education system or things like food, music.

Well said. I think it’s also transactional vs transformational changes.

Yes, it has to do with the depth of the roots of the institution
