The Effects of Economic Crisis on Democratization
Does the global economic crisis negatively impact the prospects of democratization around the world? This is a time-series, cross-national study that tests the effects of the economic meltdown on the level of democratization for new democracies around the world for 2007 to 2009. It tests economic growth measured as the quarterly economic rate growth against different indexes of democracy, and different indicators of democracy, while controlling for region of the world, ethnic fractionalization, institutions, and wealth. The expectation is that the current economic crisis has negatively impacted the speed of democratization around the world. The intellectual interest for this effect is to understand if new democracies can survive the test of economic meltdowns
