Key Topics to Revise

1

Assessing Democracy's Outcomes

  • Democracy is supported in principle but often criticized in practice - creating a dilemma about its effectiveness
  • Over 100 countries practice democratic politics with formal constitutions, elections, parties, and citizen rights
  • Democracy is just a form of government that creates conditions - citizens must take advantage of these conditions
2

Accountable, Responsive and Legitimate Government

  • Democracy must produce government accountable to citizens and responsive to their needs and expectations
  • Citizens should have the right to choose rulers and control over them through participation in decision-making
  • Democratic government may be slower due to deliberation and negotiation but decisions are more acceptable
3

Economic Growth and Development

  • Evidence shows dictatorships had slightly higher economic growth rates than democracies (1950-2000)
  • For poor countries specifically, there is virtually no difference in growth rates between democracies and dictatorships
  • Economic development depends on multiple factors: population size, global situation, international cooperation, economic priorities
4

Reduction of Inequality and Poverty

  • It's reasonable to expect democracies to reduce economic disparities due to political equality principle
  • In practice, democracies show mixed results in reducing economic inequalities
  • Small number of ultra-rich enjoy disproportionate wealth while bottom sections struggle with basic needs
