Question

Is the idea of democracy shrinking?what has been the scope of democracy in the modern world?

Answer 1

No, it can not be rightly said that the idea of democracy is shrinking as it is the most dominant form of government in the world. Some non-democratic states are adopting the democracy form of government now.

But it is true that democratic principles and institutions are being crippled in most democratic countries under the garb of national security.

The democracy has a wide scope in the modern world. People are being given more rights and more share in political process and decision making. It is not only the government of majority now but protects the rights of minorities and involves them in decision making. It works for the welfare of all. It promotes peace, free trade, justice and equality.
