Abstract

Com base na descoberta da importância dos fatores econômicos na sustentação das democracias os autores constatam, após observar 135 países entre 1950 e 1990, que riqueza, crescimento com inflação moderada, desigualdade em declínio, clima internacional favorável e - na dimensão institucional - parlamentarismo são condições propícias à preservação de um regime democrático. E argumentam que é falsa a suposição de que as ditaduras favoreceriam o desenvolvimento econômico nos países pobres e de que estes, uma vez desenvolvidos, teriam seus regimes ditatoriais substituídos por democracias.On the basis of the key finding that economic factors are strongly related to the endurance of democratic regimes, the authors argue that affluence, growth with moderate inflation, declining income inequality, favorable international climate , and - concerning institutional design - a parliamentary system, are the requisitive conditions for the durability of democracies. They also reject as false the commonly held view according to which ditactorships promote economic development in poor countries and that these, having become developed, would have their dictatorships replaced by democratic regimes.
