Democracy.pdf
This document discusses different perspectives on defining and understanding democracy. It explores how democracy can be defined based on its institutions and procedures, outcomes like freedom and liberties, or social benefits. Key factors that determine democracy are also examined, like levels of economic development, education, and urbanization. The relationship between democracy and development is complex, with theories linking democracy to industrialization and capitalism, or seeing it as incompatible with early economic development. Overall, democracy involves principles of both liberty and equality upheld through political participation and contestation.

Democracy by john
Democracy is a system where the people have power through electing leaders and participating in decision making. It promotes equality, freedom, and individual rights based on principles of transparency, accountability and rule of law. Democracy fosters an inclusive society where all voices matter. It provides a platform for progress, social justice and peaceful coexistence, though it is not perfect. Democracy is regarded as a global issue because it is a global goal for people worldwide to have a voice in governance, and threats to democracy in one country impact human rights globally.

Democracy originates from ancient Greek meaning "rule of the people". The fundamental principle of democracy is that governing power is exercised based on the judgment of adult citizens through free and fair elections.

While democracy protects citizen interests and prevents monopoly of power, it also risks misuse of funds, corruption, and wrong choices due to emphasis on quantity over quality.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
