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?

I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that governments have to be socially legitimized in their context and this requires a process that leads to idiosyncratic outcomes
