Why does Democracy fail In Developing Countries.pdf

In their attempts to explain why democracies fail, academics frequently point to economic performance. However, this paper in the Journal of Democracy examines new data on emerging democracies and makes the case that political institutions are essential for the development of democracy. Institutions that effectively restrain executive power are particularly crucial. Strategies for donor support must be maintained for the first five years of a new democracy and should work to broaden the distribution of political and economic power. The conventional wisdom holds that there is a link between weak economic growth and democratic backsliding. But the data do not support this association. Wajid khan says the evidence indicates that economic transformation is not inimical to democracy and can even help it. The aid programs of the industrial world may have the causal chain backward if sustained economic progress relies on the strength of a nation's institutions. The degree to which the advantages of financial reform are widely shared, though, is what matters most. Political institutions must be taken into account in addition to economic factors. #wajidkhan #wajidkhanMP #politics #canadianpolitician #wajidkhanpolitician

Democracy often fails in developing countries due to weak political institutions that limit executive power and high socioeconomic inequalities. Strong executive constraints and more equal distributions of income and assets are correlated with greater chances of democratic survival. Foreign donors must encourage emerging democracies to adopt trade openness and reforms that strengthen democratic institutions in order to help developing democracies succeed.

This document introduces the Gender, Institutions and Development (GID) database, which aims to better understand factors influencing gender inequality across countries. The GID improves on existing data sources by including institutional variables related to social norms, laws, and traditions that influence women's economic roles. It conceptualizes gender inequality as being determined by social institutions, women's access to resources, economic development levels, and their interactions. The GID incorporates a variety of data sources to document these relationships and allow analysis of how changing institutions and development can impact gender equality over time.
Essay on Chinese economic power - Tomas Vaclavicek
This document provides an overview of China's economic rise from 1978-2015. It notes that China surpassed the US to become the world's largest economy in 2014 based on purchasing power parity. Key developments included China becoming the world's leading exporter and FDI recipient. The economy experienced rapid wage growth and poverty reduction, growing the middle class. While state-owned enterprises declined, the role of the private sector and economic liberalization in driving growth is debated. The document examines theories attributing China's success to state intervention versus gradual market liberalization and privatization.
Good governance and doing business
Good governance is important for economic development and involves participatory, transparent, and consensus-oriented decision making. It also entails accountability, effectiveness and efficiency, equity and inclusiveness, and adherence to the rule of law. Good governance creates a transparent and predictable environment for business through fair regulatory frameworks and policy making. It positively impacts the business environment by reducing bureaucracy and corruption. Both public and private sectors depend on each other, so governments should facilitate the private sector through appropriate regulation and corruption control to serve economic and social goals.

Multiple distinct solutions are required to combat corruption depending on the situation, including anti-corruption initiatives supported by institutional reforms and public financial management reforms. Research also suggests social accountability mechanisms can reduce corruption by targeting important issues for populations and including consequences, while anti-corruption agencies have yet to effectively fight corruption in places with weak governance.

Participation and Democracy
1. The document discusses perspectives on development from the comprehensive development paradigm and the importance of participatory processes in development.
2. It argues that both economic and social development are interlinked, and that social development promotes economic development as it attracts businesses and reduces issues like crime.
3. Throughout, it emphasizes the importance of participation in development decision-making at both the local and government levels for policies to have lasting impact and for societies to successfully transform.
ch3
This document summarizes and analyzes a study that examines how voters respond to economic conditions and hold governments accountable. It discusses several key points:
1) Statistical analyses of prior studies on how politics influence government deficits fail to consistently replicate, calling into question prevailing theories.
2) New analyses show voters respond to economic growth rates across the election cycle, not just right before elections, contradicting theories of voter myopia.
3) Voters punish the ruling party for economic outcomes but do not punish junior coalition partners, weakening arguments that coalitions delay fiscal adjustments.
4) Attempts to replicate a prominent study finding clearer government responsibility leads to stronger economic voting produce mixed results with an expanded data set.
Governance and Economic Growth in Africa
The document analyzes the relationship between governance and economic growth in Africa. It finds that improving governance, as measured by a composite index constructed from World Bank indicators, has a significant positive impact on economic growth. Specifically, a 1% improvement in the governance index is estimated to increase real GDP by 1.7% based on data from 44 African countries from 2000 to 2015. Countries that improved their governance indicators the most, such as Rwanda, Angola, and Ethiopia, experienced stronger economic growth. Therefore, strengthening governance is presented as an effective way for African countries to boost economic growth with relatively low financial costs.
PEA.pdf
This document provides an overview of political economy analysis (PEA) and its operational relevance and impact on aid effectiveness. It discusses how PEA aims to situate development interventions within an understanding of prevailing political and economic processes to support more feasible strategies. While PEA highlights constraints, recent tools make it more actionable at sector and program levels. There is some evidence it improves donor awareness but limited evidence directly linking PEA to outcomes due to challenges evaluating intangible politically-informed activities. Overall PEA has increased in development thinking but implementing thinking politically faces barriers in entrenched donor institutions and incentives.
The dilemmas of the developmental state: democracy and economic development i...
Is it possible to reconcile one of the institutional strategies to promote development, known in the literature as “the developmental state”, with contemporary democratic systems of government? If so, what are the challenges, trade-offs and potential gains that such an effort may entail? The vast literature on “the developmental state” claims that it is more likely to succeed under autocratic regimes. While a “democratic developmental state” seems possible in theory, there is very little empirical evidence to show how it would work in practice. This article tries to contribute to this debate by analyzing the case of Brazil, a country that transitioned from a military dictatorship to a democratic regime in the late 1980s, and has been moving towards increasing state interventionism since 2002. While the policies implemented by the “New Developmental State” in Brazil have been explored in the academic literature, their democratic dimensions remain unchartered.

This document summarizes a research paper that analyzes political dynasties in the 15th Philippine Congress. Some key findings of the research paper include:
1) Political dynasties comprise 70% of jurisdiction-based legislators in the 15th Philippine Congress.
2) Political dynasties have higher net worth and win elections by larger margins compared to non-dynasty politicians.
3) Areas dominated by political dynasties tend to have lower living standards, less human development, and higher levels of deprivation and inequality.
Emerging trends in public administration
The document discusses emerging trends in public administration that reflect challenges and harness opportunities. It identifies new trends like new governance, leadership styles, generational change, strategic planning, e-government, and service delivery. A key trend is new leadership styles like transformational leadership which can help address fiscal crises through improved sustainability. Transformational leadership motivates followers through individual consideration, intellectual stimulation, inspirational motivation, and idealized influence. This style aligns with building shared visions and team learning to create commitment and exemplary leadership through modeling, challenges, and inspiration. Benchmarking shows transformational leadership relates to learning organizations and impacts employee creativity and nonprofit accountability.

Trade Liberalization, Institutions, and Economic Growth in Malawi
Trade Liberalization, Institutions, and Economic Growth in MalawiBOHR International Journal of Finance and Market Research
This document summarizes a study that empirically assesses how institutions and trade liberalization have affected economic growth in Malawi from 1988 to 2014. The study finds that political and economic institutions as well as trade liberalization affect Malawi's economic growth in both the short-term and long-term. Specifically, trade liberalization and political institutions negatively impact economic growth, while economic institutions positively impact growth. The findings also show that when strong economic institutions are present, the effect of trade liberalization on economic development is more positive. Finally, the study finds that institutions drive economic growth in Malawi rather than the other way around.Scott2011 psgr literature_review
This literature review examines public sector governance reforms between 2001-2011. It summarizes the literature on reforms in four areas: the role of the state, central government functions, civil service systems, and accountability mechanisms. The review finds that past reforms have often failed due to poor design that did not consider politics, and weak implementation related to lack of ownership and other challenges. Lessons identified include the need to pay attention to politics, have strong domestic leadership, take incremental approaches, and change donor behaviors to be more long-term and predictable. The review also notes gaps in research on gender, aid modalities, and explaining reform success.

Government in Nigeria Can Achieve Good Governance Through Good Management
Government in Nigeria Can Achieve Good Governance Through Good ManagementBusiness, Management and Economics Research
Poor public management defined by corruption and lack of prudence in public life continues to hold Nigeria hostage and makes good governance difficult. Since the 1980s government has been using many methods including the processes of privatization and commercialization as means of re-engineering the public sector for total quality management, and to increase the share of the public sector’s contribution to the gross domestic product. The experiment never achieved the desired level of success partly due to lack of political will on the part of government to wedge a total war against corruption, and also partly because the public sector is a large scale administration that has many entry and revolving doors which government finds difficult to close. These limitations provide the incentives for widespread public corruption that is recognized as one of the greatest challenges of government in carrying out its mandate. 110 respondents participated in this study conducted through the exploratory research design. The participants provided useful data that were triangulated with data from secondary sources for the purpose of the study. To achieve the objective of the investigation, data were analyzed through statistical techniques and the result showed significant positive correlation between good governance and good management. It was recommended that appointments in the public sector should feature a combination of people from private and public sectors of the economy to enhance competence with the aim of reducing public sector corruption. Further study should examine the reasons behind rising budget deficits as a way of reducing cost of governance in Nigeria.The Global Public Management Revolution
The document provides a book review of The Global Public Management Revolution by Donald Kettl. It summarizes the following key points:
- Kettl's book discusses worldwide public management reform movements that took place in both developed and developing countries during the 1980s and 1990s.
- Reforms aimed to improve government performance and responsiveness by replacing traditional bureaucracy with market-based competition.
- However, the author argues that applying market principles did not necessarily improve efficiency or spending. Privatization alone does not guarantee these outcomes.
- Implementing reforms was more challenging for developing countries that lacked necessary preconditions like good governance, justice systems and financial systems. Direct imitation of Western models was also difficult due to cultural
global_dev_policy-democracy
This document provides a summary and analysis of the relationship between democracy and development. It argues that democracy can hinder development in "strong states" but not in "weak states."
The first part examines authoritarian "developmental states" like South Korea in the 1960s-1980s and finds they achieved rapid economic growth through undemocratic institutions. The second part argues "weak states" benefit more from decentralized, participatory development that promotes economic democracy. The document concludes that while democracy may hinder development in strong, centralized states, it does not necessarily do so in weaker, more decentralized states.

Institutions and Financial Development in African Countries: An Empirical Ana...Business, Management and Economics Research
This study empirically investigates the impact of institutional variables on financial development in 29 African
countries. The Pooled Mean Group estimation method was applied to annual data covering the 2000 to 2014 period.
The results show that in the short run, economic freedom has a positive impact on financial development. In the long
term, democracy has a negatve impact on financial development while corruption and economic freedom positively
affect financial development. This suggests that promoting economic freedom is conducive to financial
development. However, in African countries, democracy is not in favour of financial development.Think about your development..pdf
This document discusses the findings that autocratic regimes can achieve good economic performance if they allow some political rights. It implies that political institutions in authoritarian systems can serve as substitutes for democracy and spur economic growth. Additionally, it is important to identify the specific type of democracy or autocracy being analyzed and control for their unique political institutions, rather than simply comparing regimes. Looking beyond the dichotomy between democracy and non-democracy, various political institutions likely impact economic decisions and growth.

Think about your development.
We advise taking 15 minutes after each workshop or event to reflect on the following:
What key lessons did this session teach you?
What new information did you learn?
How comfortable are you applying these abilities in a work setting?
Can you think of an instance in which you utilized these abilities professionally? How did you perform well? What could you change for the following time?
How can you continue to hone this ability?
How would you sum up your use of this talent in an interview? Do you have a real-world illustration in mind?
Are there other opportunities to practice this talent or learn more about it?
The findings imply that even autocratic regimes can have good economic performance if some political rights are allowed. This is because political institution characteristics frequently reflect a certain degree of political rights. Additionally, it can imply that in an authoritarian system, political institutions serve as a stand-in for democracy and spur economic expansion.
In other words, political institutions are a way for autocracies to differ from one another. That supports Przeworski et al. (2000) .'s assertion that there are no appreciable differences in economic growth depending on the political system, whether in democracies or autocracies.
Therefore, this preliminary investigation suggests that it is crucial to identify which type of democracy and/or autocracy is considered within the analysis controlling for its specific political institutions to avoid simply comparing the various types of regimes as a single "package" (democracy versus authoritarianism).
As Acemoglu (2009) indicates, we must look beyond the dichotomy between democracy and non-democracy to comprehend how various political institutions impact economic decisions and economic progress. Wajid khan discusses that Even if establishing a democratic regime alone won't result in higher economic growth, democracy with sound institutions might.

2) Linking it to industrialization and emulating the political systems of industrialized nations.
3) Equating it with political modernization and westernization.
4) Defining it as the organization of political life around a nation-state with nationalism.
5) Viewing it as institution-building and developing citizenship.
6) Associating it with increasing mass participation and mobilization.
7) Synonymizing it with building democracy.
8) Considering it the ability to maintain stability and facilitate orderly change.

Impact of the Internet on politics.pdf
The document discusses the impact of the Internet and social media on politics and democracy. It notes that the Internet has strengthened extremist views by allowing them to reach broader audiences and spread unfiltered. It has also accelerated trends challenging liberal democracy by fueling skepticism of political narratives and progress. Additionally, social media algorithms select content that reinforces users' existing biases and opinions, leading to greater polarization and susceptibility to disinformation. Improving media literacy through education is suggested as one way to address these issues.
Fixing the Issues with American Politics.pdf
The document discusses issues with the current state of American politics, including an overly ideological divide between the two major parties. A survey found that business leaders view the political system and complex tax code negatively compared to other countries. While ideological divisions are not new, the prioritization of "winning at all costs" has made compromise more difficult. However, throughout history periods of intense political competition also led to significant policy advances. The conclusion calls on business leaders to help revitalize democratic culture by advocating for issues, investing in civic education, and making their priorities clear to politicians from both sides.

The findings imply that even autocratic regimes can have good economic performance if some political rights are allowed. This is because political institution characteristics frequently reflect a certain degree of political rights. Additionally, it can imply that in an authoritarian system, political institutions serve as a stand-in for democracy and spur economic expansion.
In other words, political institutions are a way for autocracies to differ from one another. That supports Przeworski et al. (2000) .'s assertion that there are no appreciable differences in economic growth depending on the political system, whether in democracies or autocracies.
Therefore, this preliminary investigation suggests that it is crucial to identify which type of democracy and/or autocracy is considered within the analysis controlling for its specific political institutions to avoid simply comparing the various types of regimes as a single "package" (democracy versus authoritarianism).
As Acemoglu (2009) indicates, we must look beyond the dichotomy between democracy and non-democracy to comprehend how various political institutions impact economic decisions and economic progress. Wajid khan discusses that Even if establishing a democratic regime alone won't result in higher economic growth, democracy with sound institutions might.

This document discusses 12 different views of political development:
1) Conceptualizing it in terms of economic growth and facilitating economic growth.
2) Linking it to industrialization and emulating the political systems of industrialized nations.
3) Equating it with political modernization and westernization.
4) Defining it as the organization of political life around a nation-state with nationalism.
5) Viewing it as institution-building and developing citizenship.
6) Associating it with increasing mass participation and mobilization.
7) Synonymizing it with building democracy.
8) Considering it the ability to maintain stability and facilitate orderly change.

Impact of the Internet on politics.pdf
The document discusses the impact of the Internet and social media on politics and democracy. It notes that the Internet has strengthened extremist views by allowing them to reach broader audiences and spread unfiltered. It has also accelerated trends challenging liberal democracy by fueling skepticism of political narratives and progress. Additionally, social media algorithms select content that reinforces users' existing biases and opinions, leading to greater polarization and susceptibility to disinformation. Improving media literacy through education is suggested as one way to address these issues.
Fixing the Issues with American Politics.pdf
The document discusses issues with the current state of American politics, including an overly ideological divide between the two major parties. A survey found that business leaders view the political system and complex tax code negatively compared to other countries. While ideological divisions are not new, the prioritization of "winning at all costs" has made compromise more difficult. However, throughout history periods of intense political competition also led to significant policy advances. The conclusion calls on business leaders to help revitalize democratic culture by advocating for issues, investing in civic education, and making their priorities clear to politicians from both sides.
9 Common Forms of Government.pdf
This document discusses 9 common forms of government: democracy, communism, socialism, oligarchy, aristocracy, monarchy, theocracy, colonialism, totalitarianism, and military dictatorship. For each form, it provides a brief definition and sometimes an example. Democracy is defined as a system that allows people to choose their leadership through fair representation and majority rule. Communism is described as a centralized government run by a single party that replaces private property with public ownership. Theocracy refers to a government where religious ideology determines leadership and laws.
How To Write A Political Essay.pdf
This document provides guidance on how to write a political essay. It recommends choosing a clear thesis and defining any terms used. Students should develop persuasive arguments supported by evidence from credible sources, which are cited properly. The essay must be well-researched and well-written for a general audience, using a scholarly tone and avoiding bias or casual language.

5 Reasons To Study Politics.pdf
1. The document outlines 5 reasons for studying politics according to students Jess, Chris, and Sam. These reasons are that politics helps you understand your rights, determine your beliefs, is constantly changing with current events, helps explain the UK's political parties, and prepares you for adult life.
2. Studying politics provides benefits like understanding current world events and how leaders respond. It also empowers students to participate in the political process and potentially change policies.
3. The document argues that politics is one of the most applicable subjects because of how it prepares students for participating in the political system and adult life after gaining the right to vote at age 18.
Political Ideology Influences Economic Thinking.pdf
Political ideology influences how economists view economic problems and policies. Economists may promote policies like deregulation and tax cuts that align with their ideological preferences for less government intervention or more equal outcomes. Politicians also consult economists whose views support their political agenda. While some economists aim to be neutral, the implementation of economic policies and reforms depends on political support, not just economic rationale. What makes sense economically may be unpopular politically.
Politician Staff Roles And Responsibilities.pdf
Politicians rely on large staffs to help them communicate with voters, fundraise, and manage their responsibilities. Key roles on a politician's staff include a campaign manager who oversees election strategies, a communications manager who handles press and social media, and a chief of staff who oversees the entire staff. Other important roles include public relations managers, accounting managers, and field organizers who help connect with voters directly. Having a dedicated staff allows politicians to focus on policymaking, campaigning, and serving in their government roles.
Learn Free Flow Of Market Economy.pdf
A market economy allows the free flow of goods and services based on supply and demand. Key aspects include Adam Smith's concept of the invisible hand allocating resources efficiently, and businesses determining production levels based on customer demand. While market economies can drive innovation, they also face disadvantages like environmental damage and inequality without government intervention. Overall, a market economy decentralizes economic decisions to individual producers and consumers in pursuit of equilibrium.
International Laws on Politics.pdf
International law covers many issues, including human rights, trade, the environment, and the use of force. One of the primary sources of international law is treaties, which are legally binding agreements between countries.
These treaties can cover a wide range of topics, such as the prohibition of certain weapons, the protection of the environment, or the promotion of human rights. Countries can also be bound by customary international law, a set of many unwritten countries that have consistently followed countries over time. Wajid khan MP views International law as also including the principles and rules set out in the United Nations Charter, which was adopted in 1945.

Social Issues of Politics.pdf
A social problem is a problem that affects many people in society. That is a standard set of the issues in today's society and concerns many people are trying to solve. Often it is the result of factors beyond a person's control. Social issues are morally right or wrong, a source of disagreement based on personal and interpersonal social life decisions. Social problems are distinguished from economic problems. Wajid Khan explains, However, some issues (such as immigration) have social and economic dimensions. Some topics, such as war, don't fit into either category.
There are various methods that people use to deal with social problems. Some elect democratic leaders to advance their ideals. People donate or share time, money, energy, or other resources outside the political process. That often takes the form of volunteer work. Non-profit organizations are often formed with the sole purpose of solving social problems. Community organizing means bringing people together for a common goal.

Type of Political System.pdf
Democratic systems are characterized by governments elected by citizens to serve public interests. Citizens have power through voting and participation. Core democratic values include human rights. However, not all democracies equally protect democratic ideals. Democracy ideally means the people hold power, while authoritarian systems concentrate power in few rulers not constrained by public views, instead serving powerful minority interests. Hybrid systems combine aspects of democracy and authoritarianism. Corruption can affect all types of governments but its acceptance may vary by culture.
Peace and Security.pdf
Peace and security are fundamental human needs and aspirations. They are essential for the well-being of individuals, communities, and nations. They are closely interconnected with other pillars of human development, such as economic prosperity, social inclusion, and respect for human rights.
However, achieving peace and security is a complex and challenging task. Throughout history, humankind has faced numerous threats to peace and security, including armed conflicts, terrorism, organized crime, and human rights abuses.

Why Elections and Political Violence Against Women.pdf
Although study on violence against women in politics is growing, more information must be gathered to fully comprehend the nature of the issue, particularly from a comparative standpoint. Following a preliminary 2017 conference in Uppsala, Sweden, The Carter Center's Democracy Program and Emory University's Institute for Developing Nations hosted a workshop on violence against women in elections in response to this demand.
The workshop was attended by some of the top researchers in this area, including Gabrielle Bardall, Mona Lena Krook, Elin Bjarnegard, and Jennifer Piscopo, as well as officials from groups that address election-related concerns and violence against women more generally.

How should Political Positions Holders act Morally.pdf
How should Political Positions Holders act Morally?
Many Americans doubt that members of influential groups act morally and have little faith that those in positions of authority will suffer grave consequences if found out.
Most people believe that significant institutional actors act unethically, at least occasionally.
The two items in this survey that dealt with ethics had the same frequency alternatives as the other questions: "all or most of the time," "some of the time," "just a little of the time," or "never." The first query inquired about the frequency of unethical behavior among various groups.
Wajid khan Mp shares that at least 50% of Americans feel that, at least occasionally, people in these eight influential organizations behave unethically. That includes people who are generally trusted, such as military commanders and principals of K–12 public schools. Eight in ten (81%) individuals believe that members of Congress act unethically, at least occasionally, and 77% think the same of executives at IT companies.

Effects of Corruption & the Need for Corruption Prevention.pdf
Prevention
It is relatively easy to define corruption and how much money it involves. Instead, this essay emphasizes the value of fighting corruption from an economic standpoint. It aims to demonstrate to the reader:
The importance of redistribution based on the Marginal Utility theory, the role that law plays in economic development, the adverse effects of income inequality on sustainable economic growth, the damaging effects of low approval ratings (unhappiness) on sustainable economic growth, and the harmful effects of corruption on redistribution as well as approval ratings and consequently on sustainable.
Wajid khan simply put, the reasoning is as follows:

How Can Democracy Become a Dictatorship.pdf
How Can Democracy Become a Dictatorship?
Democracy has overtaken monarchy as the most prevalent form of government in the world over the past century. Given that more than half of the world's nations are democracies, it may be said that it has supplanted other political systems.
Modern democracy is a system of government in which the general populace has the right to vote and participate in politics by choosing political representatives to act on their behalf, as opposed to the pure, direct democracy of ancient Athens. Wajid khan discusses these governments also frequently contain robust protections for individual rights, like freedom of speech. Despite democracy's widespread acceptance, it's crucial to remember that it might crumble if not correctly maintained.

Democracy Become a Dictatorship.pdf
Democracies can transition to dictatorships in several ways. Political polarization and the failure of opposing parties to compromise can allow extremist groups to take control. Elites may also seize control through democratic means before removing democratic liberties if they feel democracy no longer benefits them. Democracies are also at risk if citizens choose authoritarian parties to solve economic or military crises. To prevent this, citizens must embrace democratic ideals and resolve disputes to prevent oppression of minorities and find agreements acceptable to all.

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.

Why does Democracy fail In Developing Countries.pdf
- 1. Why does Democracy fail In Developing Countries?
- 2. In their attempts to explain why democracies fail, academics frequently point to economic performance. However, this paper in the Journal of Democracy examines new data on emerging democracies and makes the case that political institutions are essential for the development of democracy.
- 3. Institutions that effectively restrain executive power are particularly crucial. Strategies for donor support must be maintained for the first five years of a new democracy and should work to broaden the distribution of political and economic power.
- 4. The conventional wisdom holds that there is a link between weak economic growth and democratic backsliding.
- 5. The aid programs of the industrial world may have the causal chain backward if sustained economic progress relies on the strength of a nation's institutions. The degree to which the advantages of financial reform are widely shared, though, is what matters most. Political institutions must be taken into account in addition to economic factors.
- 6. But the data do not support this association. Wajid khan says the evidence indicates that economic transformation is not inimical to democracy and can even help it.
