Description
With the implosion of the Soviet Union, the collapse of Communism and the end of the Cold War in 1989-90, the bipolar international order --established after the end of the Second World War-- came to its end. This process signified the expansion of democracy across the globe during the nineties.
However, in the beginning of the 21st Century, instead of consolidating the democracies, we seem to be witnessing a backward movement in which non-democratic leaders or non-democratically elected leaders, with non-democratic behaviours, are more and more common (ie, Hugo Chávez, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Evo Morales, Vladimir Putin, Alyaksandr Lukashenko, Ariel Sharon and, even George W Bush, who --so frequently-- speaks about democracies).
We understand democracy not only as giving citizen the opportunity to elect their governments and to be represented, but in a more comprehensive sense: democracy is a political and social system which grants security, not only from a physical point of view, but economic and social, giving priority to education, health, job opportunities, freedom of speech and diversity, which fearlessly supports innovation, and respects minorities, their cultures and rights.
