democracy, sustainability, Democratic Peace TheoryAbstract
In the last 10 years we appreciate a decline in the public support on democracy. This process, linked to the economic crisis has slowed the pace of democratization living world for decades. If this trend continues it could endanger the axioms of the Democratic Peace Theory and make the world an even less peaceful place. To avoid this process democracy should be not focused only on the political dimension but also on the social one. Following this way democracy should be a more sustainable political system.
