Abstract [en]

During the last decade, the world order seems to be planned or reconstructed by the most powerful states, in order to enforce democracy. There are numerous cases when wars were conducted in order to spread democracy, Iraq and Afghanistan are two prominent examples. The west attempt to reconstruct and change the world, through making states democratic, even though highly questionable, seems to be working. However, there are those challenging and criticizing the Western promotion of democracy and the democratisation transpiring. Thus, research investigating the consequences has become a subject of broad and current interest. Nevertheless, due to the different conceptions of democracy and different methods used in the research conducted, there is no common empirical consent demonstrating the correlation between democracy and HDI. Therefore, the aim of my research is to find out whether there is a relationship between a high level of democracy and increasing human development. In order to know, whether the promotion of democracy by the west is "for the greater good", or a way to maintain control over the rest of the world, I conducted an OLS regression. The regression confirmed my hypothesis that there is a significant relationship between the variables.
