dc.description.abstractDemocracy is considered as a strategy for resolving conflicts and better means of improving National development. But many low income new democries are bedivilled by conflicts despite the opt for democratic experiment. This rekindle the debate on wether or not democracy is better strategy for resolving conflicts and means of improving National development. This study reexamine the nexus between democracy, conflict resolution and development across the globe. Secondary data was used to examine the nexus between the variables. Data was analyzed regionally across the globe so as to allow wider coverage. Findings of the study shows that while there is relative stability and high level of human development in highly advanced democracies, there is also such advancement in some „dictatorial regimes‟. The study also discovered relative high level of instability and development challenges in new democracies. This suggest that though democracy is likely to reduce conflicts and facilitate development in some countries, it is likely to perpetuate the opposite in the new democracies. Thus there is no generalization on the tendency for democracy to improve development and reduce conflicts across the globe. The study recommend the need to strengthen democratic institutions, improve social justice and fairness across the globe. This to a large extent would reduce conflicts and facilitate development across the countries.
