Contemporary experiences demonstrate that the relationship between development and democracy represents a two-way path: democracy provides mechanisms and institutions that will enable real and humane development, and the development process will create objective conditions and a climate conducive to the consolidation of democratic practices in society.

Needless to say, the expansion of this participation in the decision-making process requires the encouragement of platforms for dialogue, the free exchange of ideas and expression, the establishment of open channels between citizens and the state, and the creation of opportunities for citizens to form voluntary civil society organizations to express options the society. It also requires the activation of popular participation in the establishment of the rule of law, the provision of effective mechanisms by which citizens can exercise their rights stipulated by the Constitution of the State of law and the right to obtain the necessary information and data to understand and influence the reality. Conditions for sustainable development.

As we know, political and social stability is indispensable for development, without which real and sustainable development can not be achieved. Democracy is not a system that can provide peaceful mechanisms to deal with the contradiction of economic and social interests and political conflicts. The differences through constructive dialogue, the suppression of social tensions, the transfer of conflicts from the public framework to clandestine work involving the potential of violence and extremism and disrupting the role of the driving forces in the development process. Just as political and social stability helps to speed up the process of development and push it on the right track, the progress of the development process will lead to the consolidation of political and social stability and the consolidation of democratic experience.

In order to realize the depth of the relationship between development and democracy, we must be aware of the importance of the human element in the development process on the one hand, and the great influence that democracy has on developing the capabilities of this element and its role in the development process. To the extent that he has opportunities to develop his potential, and to the extent that he has the incentives to employ these energies in the right productive ways, as much as he can use the resources available for real development and human dimensions. Hence, the importance of democracy is by making it possible for citizens to participate in decision-making, enabling human needs to be placed at the top of the development agenda. Needless to say, meeting these needs will enhance citizens' abilities and broaden their options Itself, and unleashing the energies of creation and creativity inherent in it.

The citizen's realization that the opportunities for progress are open to him, his progress depends on his work and his efficiency without any other consideration, and his confidence that the fruits of his work will return him, will push him to strive to acquire more knowledge and skills and to do more work.

Putting the basic needs of citizens at the forefront of development priorities, broadening public participation in decision-making and subjecting economic, social and cultural policies to further study and scrutiny through open public dialogue can lead to rational management of economic and human resources. On the other hand, ensuring easy access to information, providing transparency in economic transactions, making it possible to highlight deficiencies and inefficiencies in government agencies and institutions of economic nature, and exposing abuses and perverse practices, helps to improve the performance of government agencies and institutions and enables the fight against Corruption.

Needless to say, it is only people who are able to detect deficiencies, corruption and perverse practices effectively. In many developing countries, government oversight bodies lack impartiality and impartiality and are often under pressure from those responsible for corruption and corruption. Is unable to show the facts and condemn the defaulters and spoilers.

We may not be exaggerating if we say that achieving development and ensuring its sustainability is inextricably linked to democracy. The process of development is not only affected by democracy but also affects it. The relationship between development and democracy is controversial and has a reciprocal effect: democracy provides the framework for development, and development creates the material base and climate conducive to the development of democracy.

Development, as an extension of opportunity, allows the citizen to lack knowledge and skills and develop his abilities, and choose the work in which he finds himself and earn him income to ensure a decent life. And a sense of responsibility towards him, and strengthens his conviction that the need to rely on dialogue and communication in dealing with public issues, which creates an atmosphere suitable to address social and political problems by peaceful means. The more development, with its human dimension, takes its course as stability in society solidifies and the democratic experiment is rooted.

Dear Asim! Thank you for the detailed explanation of the problem.

Please look ( obtain  information / study ) into " Iceland 🇮🇸  developing democratic evolution 

Dear Respected Vladimir A. Kulchitsky/

My opinion on 

Development, Democracy, and Social Issues

is expressed as below:

"Democracy is good to readdress and resolute social issues. Development looks economic issue, improves GDP and household incomes; Development also considers remedies about social protection and how power and social differences are organised and managed for the benefit of all."

I think all these variables are correlated and the project will be beneficial for developing democracies.  What's the democracy is? Rule of law and developing an inclusive society. these factors will address all the issues including social, political and economic.

For the development of the country, it is necessary that no one at least not interfere. Then the people themselves will find ways to develop.

It is very important to decide at this moment in human history, the definition of society. If a society is just a set of individuals which are supposed to be dis-associated with each other living in a disjoint partition of the universe, where nothing they do effects the other in any way then the prevalent economic structure is its conclusion.

But if we decide that the society is a complex organism in which the individuals and the organism itself are in a dialectical relationship then we must redefine the established order. The social order must be renegotiated leading to the redefinition of economic and political order. This new social order must be based on the recognition that all individuals are equally important in the functioning of society.

Dear Muhammad! You understand, of course. In society there will always be personalities with different moral ideas about the development of the country and society. Many will determine the leaders. And most importantly, the moral, intellectual, physical abilities of leaders to unite disparate opinions for the development of the country.

Your project is "Latin American Development, Democracy, and Social Issues"

What would you like to resolve?  Introduce democracy in Latin America?  That has been the project for 150 years.  Why isn’t Latin America as prosperous as Europe? 

Generations come and go, a lot of well-meaning people put a lot of work into social issues but they are largely stymied by crooked politics, and whether any progress is made is arguable. 

In countries where the president is directly elected, you get nice ones and nasty ones.  Democracy should inhibit demagoguery and oligarchy but the presidential system encourages these.  So the lurching in out of democracy, along with the poverty and the rioting in the streets, continues.  Currently Venezuela and Brazil are in trauma. 

Not just Latin America.  Presidential systems are in disarray, or have failed outright, in the Philippines, South Korea and Turkey.  Russia and the other post-soviet presidential countries have already fallen to autocrats.  

You can introduce ad hoc rules like term limits and isolating the central bank from the cabinet but the basic problem remains.  The shambles in Latin America will continue.

Dear Mike! In your answer and questions, the answers actually sound. The people of each country want spiritual, ethical and other forms of equality within the country. These freedoms must be born in every country. These freedoms can not be implanted from the outside.

Freedom must be born in every country?  Sounds nice, Vladimir, but how do you know?  . 

Where freedom and justice and other good things are found is where the political structure allows it and facilitates it.  The legislatures and electoral systems vary around the world but the variations have nothing to do with the local culture and the people had little say in their installation. 

Can't be planted from outside? That is what happened in the former soviet bloc.  In the western parts of the soviet bloc they set up parliamentary systems and they're okay.  In the eastern parts they set up presidential systems and they are now autocracies.   All of it was as implanted from outside as the system of their former Russian masters.   The only qualification I would make is that the foreign experts in the western parts were probably the children of refugees from those countries. 

Whether inside or outside, the bottom line is that in Latin America only countries which abolish their directly elected president can ever settle down to stable democracy and prosperity. 

Yes I agree with you as it enhance human capability to think, do and communicate.

Dear Dr.Vladmir 

I absolutely agree that such social issues need to be resolved and manipulated and  we, as an academic people, hold part of the responsibility in promoting the right choices for constructing healthy community. 

Liqaa 

Yes, I agree that researchers as well as other people should strive to resolve all of development, democracy, and social issues. In Japan after the World War II, national endeavor for development of technologies have been made, and democracy has been guaranteed by the constitution. However, most people have not been enthusiastic to keep democracy and to be concerned about social issues. Thus, the present government, I'm afraid, is going to the bad direction of thinking to use force as the means of settling international disputes.

"Development, Democracy, and Social Issues!" You're right. It is necessary to strive to resolve such issues. Do you agree with this opinion?

Agreed to the above opinion.  However, how to address above issues e.g. sequentially or concurrently, by when, by whom & with what kind of resources subject to numerous factors like short or long term goals, strategies, benefits, different parties aspirations etc.  For an example in a country with not well to do economy, perhaps stakeholders / policy makers should pragmatically focus on development & social issues first so that citizens' basic needs & social ills are addressed before considering other political agendas, ideologies etc. which can vary from case by case basis.

I think , these three buzz words in any sovereign country compliment each other , and it is must compliment each other in such  situation , when you are looking at such issues...

Democracy and Social Issues Panelists talked about the American political system’s ability to solve problems such as poverty, health care access, discrimination, and voter turnout.

“Can Democracy Transform Social Crisis?” was a panel discussion at the 8th National Conference of Independents, “Partnerships for Independent Power,” held at New York University’s Skirball Center for the Performing Arts.

Excellent questioning. Thanks for sharing! Certainly this concerns all people who have knowledge and insight into the current situation in many countries. In particular, I appreciated the contributions of @Asim Hakim Abbas and @ Han Ping Fung.

Democracy is a good thing because it facilitates free human choice and it furthers the good of political participation. Some argue, for example, that the experiences of Korea, Taiwan, or Indonesia show that a strong authoritarian state is better able to engineer a successful process of economic development than an electoral democracy such as India (because of its ability to discipline fractious demand groups).

Development, Democracy, and Social Issues!" You're right. It is necessary to strive to resolve such issues. Do you agree with this opinion? I cannot but agree with such an opinion. Real democracy cannot exist without development and equality of opportunity.

Aristidis Matsoukis : Agree. Democracy is a concept where all have chances to develop due to rights to equality, or at least rights to equal opportunity. However, practically it is a dream all over the globe, as it has turned to rights to vote only. Practically, a large number of accused of criminal offenses are part legislatures. How can one imagine about clean laws by them. If economically premier class represents the economically unprivileged classes, it is hard to think that the objectives of protecting rights of such unprivileged classes could be justified.
