Can Democracy Exist In A Unified And Peaceful World?
What is a unified world? The world is composed of many countries, each with their own customs and traditions. Trying to impose a universal set of rules would be unpopular and unnecessary, and I cannot see any benefit. In the countries where democracy is most established (US, Canada, Europe, Australasia, Japan etc) there is never any significant level of political violence. Often we see political violence in countries where there is no democracy, or where democracy is young in the trail of autocratic rule. This question seems to be suggesting that there should be an autocratic dictator running the worlds affairs, a situation which is unthinkable. If there was a “unified world”, which there will not be then democracy could work in the same way as the US works, whereby there is a state government and also a federal goverment. At the end of the day democracy is more likely to lead to peace than any imperial or autocratic system as there is always a peaceful means to achieve political goals
