Description
The democratization and parliamentarization of political order globally has resulted in a revival of the debate on the correlation between political democracy and economic development. This book presents a parliamentary perspective on the relationship between two critical concepts in the present-day world, democracy and development. Within this broad framework, several aspects of the main theme are discussed, aiming to arrive at a better understanding of the differing perceptions on the larger concepts of democracy and development.
