The relationship between democracy and economic
performance has been the subject of interest to social scientists, especially
economists, for the past few centuries. However, the democratization movements experienced in the Middle East
recently have caused the relationship between democracy and economic growth to
become a current issue. The study aims to contribute making the relation
between democracy and development-growth more prominent by presenting different
views that are related to these two concepts, and to examine how this relation
(presence/absence, direction, grade) in the 21st century particularly
in the light of empirical studies. Following the theoretical and empirical
evaluation, it can be claimed in general that the democratic institutions are
more favorable (positive) in terms of economic growth. This result supports the Compatibility
Perspective that expresses a positive relationship between democracy and
economic growth. Considering the small number of studies investigating the
relationship of democracy and economic growth in Turkey, it is seen that the
results are in accordance with all three views in the international literature.
