This book assesses the interconnectedness of democracy and economic development. It concentrates on how to conceptualize and to measure democracy and quality of democracy in global comparison. The author makes the argument that a quality-of-democracy understanding based on sustainable development relates crucially with economic growth, but more so with economic development. The empirical macro-model focuses on approximately over hundred countries (in a world model) and covers about a fourteen-year period of 2002-2015, identifying the following basic dimensions as being relevant for further analysis: freedom, equality, control, sustainable development, and self-organization (political self-organization). Readers will appreciate the global perspective the work offers.
“This reviewer highly recommends reading this monograph to all fellow political scientists and students of democracy. Those who like digging into primary empirical data, playing with figures and appreciate the deductive way of reasoning, will be especially pleased with the book.” (Alexander Chvorostov, Democratization, Vol. 27 (5), 2020)
“David Campbell has been carrying out research on quality of democracy and its conception and measurement now for several years. … Through this approach, the author offers a new form of understanding of how democracy should be measured in a meaningful way. … This global approach to democracy seems to be so urgently needed and necessary for our current debates on the state and status of democracy worldwide.” (Matthias Keppel, OZP - Austrian Journal of Political Science, Vol. 48 (2), 2019)
