democracy and development  

Definición

  • Does democracy cause prosperity, or do prospering nations develop democratic structures? How far do critical junctures in history determine both a society's economic development and its level of democracy? While these questions have occupied a central place in modern comparative political economy, they, nevertheless, remain highly disputed. The starting point of this ongoing debate lies in the strong correlation between the level of democracy and different measures of economic prosperity.
