Resumo

Por muitos anos foi ensinado nas aulas de clase que o melhor remedio para o desenvolvimento econômico é a fortaleza democrática. Nesse sentido, quanto maiores são as liberdades sociais, maiores são as oportunidades de crescimento de uma nação. No entanto, com o rápido desenvolvimento dos tigres asiáticos, onde a democracia não seria o denominador comum, a visão de desenvolvimento voltou-se não necessariamente para a fortaleza democrática, mas também para a estrutura das instituções. Embora a democracia pudesse continuar sendo o ingrediente principal para alcançar o almejado e ocidentalizado desenvolvimento econômico (Lipset, 1959a/b), não é necessariamente a única variável a ser considerada para determinar esse progresso; pelo contrário, o tipo de instituções ajuda a estabelecer incentivos e criar melhores condições para atingir essa “decolagem” política e econômica. Deste modo, a democracia, ao longo prazo, permitiria  abrir caminho ao desenvolvimento, não sem desconhecer a importância da história em cada país, o que no final acaba determinando as próprias singularidades no seu desenvolvimento.
