学者和政策制定者长期以来一直认为贸易和金融自由化会鼓励发展中国家变得更加民主；然而，没有人对全球化与民主之间的因果关系提出正式的假设。本文表明，这两种趋势确实相关，但不一定以通常假设的直接方式相关。这里提出的模型结合了嵌入式自由主义理论和基于冲突的民主理论，描述了随着贸易和资本流动的增加影响加强民主决策的过程。我认为，如果同时使用安全网作为提供稳定和建立政治支持的战略，增加对国际出口和金融市场的接触会导致民主的改善。 1972-97 年期间涵盖 59 个发展中国家的计量经济分析提供了经验证据。
Scholars and policy makers have long assumed that trade and financial liberalization encourages developing countries to become more democratic; yet no one has developed formal hypotheses about the causal relationship between globalization and democracy. This article shows that these two trends are indeed related, but not necessarily in the direct manner that has commonly been postulated. Combining theories of embedded liberalism and conflict-based theories of democracy, the model presented here depicts the process that affects decisions to strengthen democracy as trade and capital flows increase. I argue that increasing exposure to international export and financial markets leads to improvements in democracy if safety nets are used simultaneously as a strategy for providing stability and building political support. Empirical evidence is provided by econometric analysis covering 59 developing countries for the time period 1972–97.
