Globalization and Democracy: A General Discussion‪.‬

ABSTRACT The question of whether or not globalization promotes democracy represents a longstanding debate. There are numerous arguments that can be made to endorse the idea that globalization promotes democracy. First, the technological innovations that arrive with globalization bring with them advances in communication that enable citizens to pass along information more freely, and this in turn helps to educate a society. Also, globalization helps the professional and middle classes grow. These two groups, in turn, assist the process of democratization.
