Unit 3 Ch 8 : Challenges to Democracy — Social Studies STD 10 — Question

Foundational challenge: At least one fourth of the world is still not under democratic governments. Countries that do not have democratic setup face the foundational challenge of making a transition to the democratic form of government. They need to lay the foundation in terms of laws and policies that would be followed under the democratic setup. This involves bringing down the existing nondemocratic regime, keeping military away from controlling government and establishing a sovereign and functional state. Countries like Poland, Iraq and Nepal face this kind of challenge.
