Should the international committee promote democracy in authoritarian

states?

International committees promote human rights and globalization

to balance economic stability of member states and other countries
around the world. However, these countries portray different pathways
when ruling their nation. Two of the most common is between democratic
and authoritarian governments, these two lies in both ends of the
spectrum. They are the complete opposite of each other. For an
international committee that supports human rights, fair governance
and freedom, they tend to lean on the term democracy. The United
Nations’ purpose surrounds the idea of equal and peace, to which it
supports democracy. However, democracy isn’t easy to be promoted in an
authoritarian states. Authoritarian states have built foundations to
form the people’s culture and principles. Thus, the values of these
states aren’t easily opened by the thought of democracy. Studies
pertains democracy as a way for economic gain, the window to the field
of economic growth, but studies show that transitions of authoritarian
to democratic is not the drive for economic growth but an economic
crisis. There are governments that switched from these transitions due
to economic crisis. Indonesia is the poster child for getting the most
out of an economic crisis. Its transition to democracy was
precipitated by the onset of the Asian financial crisis in 1997 that
ushered is deep political and economic reforms. Mexico experienced a
similar trajectory as the 1982 debt crisis set off political and
economic change. But these countries suffered the notorious backlash
of the transition. It is indeed possible for change but promoting such
a strong predicament it is most likely to fail. Furthermore, there are
no government systems be considered truly democratic or authoritarian,
it is just simply divided. There are certain criteria that countries
have to portray to be considered which more lenient. But since
globalization have now become more widely accepted, international
committees voice out their concerns of a democratic way of governance.
