How can we make the world safe for democracy?

Essay from the year 2008 in the subject Sociology - War and Peace, Military, grade: 2,0, University of Siegen, language: English, abstract: Before you can give an answer to the question above, written in the title, you have to define the term 'democracy' in the all the details in which you will use this term during your following work. In that way Ithe term 'democracy' will be defined before working on the original question. Although now one could say that you could easily work on your question is way too optimistic as there are a lot of other terms which will have to be defined clearly before working with them because otherwise there is no doubt that some major misreadings will or at least- to be optimistic- can occur. These are the terms which one normally thinks of pretty clear when it comes to speaking in political terms- but are they really? So, to make them clear there will very short definitions of these terms too and then the introduction part of this essay is done and from that point on it really works intensively on the question on what it does take us all to make the world safe for democracy- or is the world safe for democracy and we don't have to do anything about it at all? That is just another question coming directly into my mind when dealing with such a difficult question.
