Abstract

The connections between globalization and democracy are a classic question in international political economy and a topic much debated in foreign policy circles. Globalization and Democracy are divergent views. But global interconnectedness has spread democracy in several ways. The forces of globalization and their consequences collide with international and national system of government. In our paper we tried to make qualitative analyses of impact of globalization on democracy. The results suggest that there is an existence of positive vis. a vis. negative relationship running between globalization and democracy. We also tried to find out if better democratic world is possible through globalization by raising few important questions.
