In this thesis, the concept of democracy is examined first, with an analysis of its definition, its conditions, and its historical evolution from antiquity to the present day. Emphasis is placed on the fundamental pillars and characteristics of democracy, as well as the contrasts between ancient and modern democracy. The concept of political systems and the relationship of political institutions to development are also examined. In the second chapter, we focus on modernization and its connection with democracy. The concept of modernization is explained, focusing on classical modernization theory and its stages. In addition, Lipset’s (1959) theory is analyzed, examining the relationship between modernization and democracy.
Also we examine the relationship between per capita income and democracy. We found that there is usually a positive relationship between economic prosperity and the stability of democracy. In addition, we mentioned that some theories argue that democracy is a prerequisite for economic development.
However, we pointed out that this relationship is complex and there are many factors that can influence it. We also recognized that there are exceptions, where rich countries are not democracies and vice versa, due to political and cultural traditions.
In the research part we examined the relationship between democracy and economic growth in five countries: United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Greece. Using statistical methods such as linear regression, data trends are analyzed over a decade (2010-2021).
The results show that there is a positive correlation between the level of democracy and GDP per capita. Countries with higher levels of democracy also appear to have higher levels of economic development. However, this relationship is not completely linear and can be influenced by various factors.
The content of this research highlights the importance of examining the relationship between democracy and economic growth, because this relationship has important implications for the policymaking and development of countries. Despite the limitations and potential weaknesses of the research, the results offer important clues for understanding the complexity of the relationship between political structure and economic growth.
