Why Europe Runs on Committees (And Why It Works)

Описание: Why do European countries rely on committees for almost everything?

From local communities to national governments and the EU, decisions in Europe are rarely made by one powerful leader. Instead, they’re made by groups — committees, councils, boards, and working groups.

But this isn’t bureaucracy for the sake of bureaucracy.

It’s a system designed to:

Share responsibility

Prevent abuse of power

Create stable, long-term decisions

Protect democracy

In this video, we explore Europe’s culture of collective decision-making and why this approach has helped create some of the world’s most stable, trusted societies.

You’ll discover:

Why shared power is a European tradition

How committee culture reduces corruption and risk

Why decisions may be slower — but often smarter

What this system teaches about modern democracy

If you’re curious about how Europe (and especially Nordic countries like Denmark) actually works behind the scenes, this video explains the mindset that shapes everyday governance.
