Mongolia: democracy without prerequisites

Article Abstract:

The development of democracy in Mongolia represents a crucial case in democratic theories. It appears to have defied commonly held assumptions in political development. This is the result of the nonviolent stance taken by the incumbent leaders and the opposition groups during the early stages of transition of Mongolia's democracy. This allowed the proper deliberation on the creation of a new constitution. Further, the tolerance extended by the leaders and the loyalty shown by the opposition mutually reassured both groups and made real economic reforms possible.

Why democracy survives

Article Abstract:

India is a contradiction in democratic theories and principles. While it has remained pre-industrial in its economic standing, democracy has continued to flourish in India despite widespread illiteracy, poverty and a social structure defined by classes. Many scholars and theorists have cited India as an exemption in the development of democracy. The survival of democracy in India despite seemingly insurmountable odds is explained using historical and economic perspectives, the ethnic configuration and the political leadership in the country.
