Key Topics to Revise

1. How to assess democracy's outcomes

  • Democracy is better than dictatorship or any other alternative because it promotes equality, dignity, better decision-making, conflict resolution and correction of mistakes.
  • More than a hundred countries claim and practice democratic politics, but they differ in social situation, economy and culture.
  • Democracy should not be expected to solve every problem automatically; it creates conditions, and citizens must use them.

2. Accountable, responsive and legitimate government

  • The most basic outcome of democracy is government that is accountable to citizens and responsive to their needs.
  • In democracy, people choose rulers and can control them.
  • Democracy is based on deliberation and negotiation, so decisions may take more time.

3. Economic development

  • It is reasonable to expect democracy to produce development, but democracy is not a guarantee of economic development.
  • Over 1950 to 2000, dictatorships had a slightly higher average economic growth rate than democracies.
  • The growth rate was 3.95 for all democratic regimes and 4.42 for all dictatorial regimes.
