Pre-requisites of a successful democracy

1-- structural prerequisites

 a.written constitution: 

 it is necessary that a  functional democracy has written constitution because


constitution divides power between different departments of government it defines the
responsibility of each department and it establishes domains of them, it also maintains
the system of checks and balances and is responsible for governmental accountability,
in case of a written constitution it solidly defines the Human rights which government
cannot violate and cannot suspend in any case so codified constitution is an integral
part of functional democracy in case of any problem citizen can make the reference of
that constitutional statement.

 accept the United Kingdom because people there have a high value of political and
moral sense, people generally show a higher sense of moral and political character,
belief more in conventions rather in any constitution. David Cameron was against
Brexit but as people of the United Kingdom were in favor of Brexit so David
Cameron has to resign this design was not responsible PM's political responsibility of
the prime minister. Habitually customs have become part of their constitution it's not
workable across the globe.  So the codified constitution becomes a sign coin.

b.  Constitutional protection of fundamental rights

a successful democracy must give constitutional protection to fundamental rights of


its citizens.

c.  Impartial- the unbiased- and the strong modern state- meritocratic institutions-

every problem is solved through a series of legal channels you have legal systems to
get something done. For everything, there is a system without any e context or
background on the basis of merit so the Institutions are very strong .they govern
through institutions and not through patronage. That's why in less advanced societies
democracy is don't work and people don't trust and democratic systems and
institutions. 

d- multiple political parties

because for single party there is a recipe of dictatorshipfor instance Chinait is called
People's Republic of China but it is not Republic in a real sense because there is a
single party to govern Communist party of China so there is no opposition.Opposition
act as a check for government in Parliament and stops the translation of government,
in case of single party it becomes pseudo monarchy.

e-independent judiciary-separation of power doctrine-

third pillar of any democratic state,checks Government and protect rights of citizens.If
your Judiciary is controlled by the government it means it is not a successful
democracy is again a monarchy.

f- rule of law

application of law with equality everyone is equal before the court of law. If there is
an equal rule of law in society it means certain people are privileged and certain are
underprivileged .society is highly un equal and divided that is against of promise of
democracy that is equality because democracy means to establish a state that is right
friendly.

g- Free media

, is considered fourth pillar of state, vigilant Watchdog on government activities and


other institutions free media is considered as the most important element of a success
for democracy, criticises Government and other political parties provide information
to people it makes people of their rights and a democratic society.

2-- informal prerequisites

a-  education

the most integral part of a democratic society because it includes the element "by the
people"

  because highly educated society  deserves the best of of democracy.. Competent


people will competent representatives which society is is on educated at work be easy
for  elites to fool the people.  it is this reason that democracy is a very successful in 
West not in East.

b-   vigilance

 people are ready to  keep an active eye I on actions of government.

c-

 Civic sense
 people knows about their moral and political rights and duties you follow the laws
yourself.

d-  spirit of toleration

 because in societies there are multiplicity  of interests. Pluralism is the only way in
such societies because our society can be multi-religious multilingual and multi-
ethnic.

e-  removal of gross inequalities

 if society is un equal in political and economic power that means the fact that King
more economic and political power will rule the world its again a type of dictatorship
or monarchy. They will use democracy as servant system for themselves. It is on
Sustainable at first sight and not a true democracy.

----- this changes should come first and then democracy will strengthen these things.
That was what happened in West these requisites came first and then democracy
strengthened them and you can see best is in a dominant position while in Africa and
Eastern countries democracy came first and while these prerequisites for missing
that's why the democracy in these countries is not as strong as in West very important
reason  there are many levels of divisions in this African and Eastern societies light
they are divided on the basis of ethnic linguistic and culture at entities that's why they
are unable to combine in a form of unity and to establish themselves towards welfare
it is the point of view of Francis Fukuyama in his book political order and political
decay that's by democracy in these countries and it up doing more hard than it did
better.....

how can democracy bring even change in society?

1--accountability and rule of law

 elections--repeated cycle of election,if it is not delivering its best it can be voted out
of power by the individuals and citizens

, mass media--acts as a Watchdog on performance of Government and criticizes

 civil society---includes lawyer human right activist and NGOs,because of these all
your government is forced to act upon certain things because these groups force and
government is accountable to them.They are answerable to comment they are
answerable to court and other institutions Dictator or monark is not accountable and
answerable to no one.
Government case of out of small portion of society that say of 10% The Other 90%
will vote the democratic government out of power.

2---responsive and efficient governance

government is responsible for what she does,she and she is criticized partly so she
makes herself efficient by the time.

3--wider acceptance

can accept any law any other model that is successful anywhere in the world,in this
we gradually it keeps on evolving towards its betterment.

4--better decision making

collective decision making is it better than decisions made by a single authority. Why
in monarch  and dictatorship one person sways the whole government.But here the
government is divided and function under certain sops. Where each one is answerable
to an other and cannot work at his or her own so he or she has to involve the other
person are sometimes the other Institutions and no single individual can take decision
by himself only. For instance to possible in a democracy it has to go through certain
governmental institutions and it has to be marked and accepted by a majority of
people at different levels. So these are more representative of the will of general
public  because of one man can fault but not many men. And feeling of one person is
more probable and like me then feeling of many persons. Counter   willing forces
keep checks and balances apart the  stupidities of government.

5--- equitable distribution of wealth and resources

     as democracy is based on number of  votes so in order to increase its  vote people
work for all and  the progress is not  for a single individual or a single portion of
society in this way the underprivileged areas of a country is also developed.

 On the other hand as monarchs and dictators belong to a single portion of the whole
public so they try to to bless their own potions instead of general public.

6-- greater national integration and Cohesion

    online dictatorship and Munnar where the power is centralised here power is
divided into different segments of society different Institution of different areas of
society,  so everyone has equal  stake in the government.. As in Parliament and and
Senate people are given seat on the basis of our on the quota criteria of their areas to
balance the power structure of Government and to include their participation in a
government  equally. Equal incentive for instance when there was Saddam Hussain in
Iraq she ask for belly prosecuted while Sony's word given incentives that's why the
state was divided and captured by outer forces. Where and democracy is people from
different sects different religion can participate in the process of government they
have the ability to protest and to go against incase they feel that they are not
participated equally while in iterator ship oppressive and depressive mechanism is
used to counter these people.

7-- peaceful and inclusive towards minorities

 this is all very peaceful towards minorities because as discussed before that you give
the equal opportunities to every set of society they can your system and address their
problems they can go to independent media and independent quotes.

8-- less  prone to wars

 democratic peace theory mutual democratic  pessimism

 it is a popular theory in Political Science that democracies are less in  inclind towards
war and conflicts. Because people don't sport war since democracy is government of
the people so government is less favourable towards war else people will not elect the
person who advocate wars.  Besides this war also damages the whole system of
democracy at cause democracy as a lot it may be economic cost for human toll. As
you can see in Pakistan three was happened in In The Dictator governments.

But for certain both have propensity for war bcz war is for national intrests and threat
perception like if ours were dictators but Indians awere democratic at times of war.
kenneth waltz says.

Parson theorist sham democracies  are nascent democracies- who are in the early
phase of democracy- they have more propensity  for war than those who are mature
old democracies

9-- greater sport from International community

   democracy of an country is favourable for the whole International community so


International communities fever democracies a lot many international organisation
like United   Nations  World Bank and  IMF  support emerging democracies in the
world. They provide   aids more to these countries so it's easy for government to
spend these age on the betterment of people in general.
Dimocracy Vs Dictatorship….
SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOTTTTTT
TTTTTT

How democracy  degenerate into Dictator rule

1--- severe internal fragmentation -ethnic  or  linguistic or provincial- leading to


widespread conflict

       these types of conflict are the recipe for totalitarian are military government and if
the government is unable to cope with these kinds of problems the problems may get
worse into maths and Water conflicts will give rise to political instability at message
level... Especially Martial Law comments in Pakistan  Lays such kind of instability in
its context.

2---  failure to manage National catastrophe

        Catastrophe may include economic Catastrophe or natural disaster or political


crisis, and if the government is on never to cope with these problems it will give space
to Powerful Institutions like military are rebellious groups such as in Afghanistan
Taliban.

3--- extremely poor performance on economic or societal indicators

        there is a preconceived idea with democratic governments that it will raise the
moral of people and it well war to battle the life standard of people at micro and
macro levels both the institutional structure of the whole country would be better with
democratic government but if democracy doesn't deliver on these promises it resolves
into a crosses a message process and people don't trust anymore on that democratic
authority results in trust deficit between Government and people and people don't
believe in democracy rather De demand Martial Law as in Pakistan where people used
to distribute sweets when military took over.

4--- lack of strong democratic leadership

  leader play a very vital role in maintenance of democratic government for instance in
Pakistan Pakistan was found in 1947 there was only one leader with Chris matic
qualities and personalities that was Muhammad Ali Jinnah death by the first
government of Pakistan was a democratic government but unfortunately of the demise
of it there was no one to hold that office that's why soon military took over and the
same process is going on especially in third world countries that is a big problem in
the way of democracy.  Vehicle leadership brings instability in government as
democracy is a very complex and Sons of its government institutions because there
are a lot of Institutions and there are many complexities and it is difficult to
management Corp the conflicts of this institution because there are many many people
that are working rather it's you can call it its Arena where people are working to
snatch the power for their own site especially when there is case of the third world
countries so in that case it's very difficult you not to manage such conflict and to
disapprove the power between these groups equally. Main instances can be seen in the
history of Pakistan where only one government was able to complete its five year
tenure even there are instances that the same party that was in power many people
were involved in leg pulling of each other in the same speed in the same party.

5--- self serving political parties and political  opportunism

    sometimes dictators also depend upon political leaders they always find people on
which they can rely upon against role in political parties that's because the political
parties don't work for betterment of people are the betterment of a democratic system
they were not only for power and dictators sometimes promise them that when they
will get to power they will grant them for certain Ministries. For example Muslim
League Q in time of General Pervez Musharraf

6--- civil military in balance and direct civil-military conflict

     military and civilian leadership order awarded and they are asking one another and
interest of both are clashing with one another II and their perception about what is
favourable for country is directly divided between them this is also a recipe for
Martial Law.

7-- examples

  most commonplace in post-colonial societies due to strong military and weak


civilian institutions... It maybe because in colonial Era militaries was strong and
civilian Institutions were wea it  built strong bureaucratic system in India in order 2
rule civilians and it is true that British needed strong military and strong bro crazy e so
they developed them strongly.. And they didn't work to make traditional system and
loss of this country strong because they have violated these laws for many times..
Example Egypt Thailand Pakistan India

Why not in India in Warriors so many times in Pakistan?????? Article

  if it is stated that dictatorship is the only remedy for social, political and economic
instability in a developing country e?

  if it is stated that dictatorship is the only remedy for social, political and
economic instability in a developing country e?

 Nooooooooooooo....

Political:
well I don't agree because certain countries are multi-ethnic multilingual and
multi sectarian societies Pizzahut Regina societies and usually in
heterogeneous societies people that or not in power are minorities feel
marginalised  for instance in times of Saddam Hussain in Iraq Sunni were
privileged

 and dictators don't pay attention to who this minorities because status help
from a particular section and marginalized others. Peripheral areas are
outcasted from government priorities because dictators usually Fox is upon
the central areas like ok in case of Pakistan or Dictator will be concerned
about Punjab Asind not about kpk and Balochistan deities areas for already
developed and Balochistan and kpk need to be developed.

 Lack of  consensus building create on Sustainable political framework where


as and democracy A democratic leader France government with the help of
many other peoples and stakeholders like parliamentarians and Senator so
power is usually shared.  that results and to a mass level political  instability 
Dictator governments usually  slows down democratic revolving processes
because after auditor government democratic government has to start from
zero more hour dictatorship distorts the image of a country that is not good for
foreign investors and over lol picture of country at international level.

 SOcial:

 it does not have any space for dissent nobody can criticize government does
absence of civil rights they are not given rights to speech rights to Assembly
rights to vote and certain freedoms that are basic to man are  curtailed by
Dictator governments.

 And when people have legitimate problems but no legitimate platform to


express that results and to conflict and reward as in  French Revolution and
results into separatism.

Economic:

two perspectives on economic level IT me perform well it may not perform well
for instance in peace of Ayub Khan. In 80's  and in 2000 also.

For instance if Dictator bring some good policymakers good techno create
than it usually performs very well...

 Sometimes The Dictator rules with iron faced they cover all the separatism
and divisions in minor sections of society that results into increase of investor
confidence so it gradually results into to a large quantity of foreign direct
investment. But on the other hand it's also disturbing for certain investors that
the country is run by The Dictator

 But in longer than it is not feasible because these dictators lack International
sport and get very little benefit and funds and aids from foreign organisations.
Your decisions are Irreversible in dictatorship but not in democracy because in
case of democracy these decisions are hardly criticized and ID ID they are not
implement it in its true sense in case of democracy but in case of dictatorship
no one is there to challenge those decisions.

 Show margin of economic  harm  is big in case of dictatorship.

  dictators have centralised power and they don't dissolve power to other
provinces and institutions show only those sections that are directly under
Dictator they get economic facility only like  Ayub Khan's Land Reforms and
other activities due to those steps only 22 families got benefit not even the
whole of East Pakistan.

 As dictators belong to military background so the fox is upon military


expensive more than the other II so the other weather of social social and
health benefits are spent on those military affairs it is called  Garrison state
syndrome
