Abstract

Demokrasi ve getirdiği alternatif kanallar olmadan, sürdürülebilir kalkınmayı garanti etmek zordur. Sürdürülebilir kalkınma araştırmalarının eksik kalan demokrasi boyutu, vatandaşların ve kurumların kalkınma vizyonlarını gerçekleştirmelerini sağlar. Bu kapsamda çalışmanın amacı, demokrasinin sürdürülebilir kalkınmada üzerinde etkilerini ampirik olarak araştırmaktır. Demokrasi ve sürdürülebilir kalkınma arasındaki ilişki, 1990-2019 dönemine ait yıllık veriler ve E-7 ülkeleri için Han ve Phillips (2010) yöntemi yardımıyla araştırılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre demokrasinin, sürdürülebilir kalkınma üzerinde istatistiki olarak anlamlı ve olumlu bir etkisi vardır. Öte yandan çalışmada ele alınan GSYİH, inovasyon ve yenilenebilir enerji tüketimi değişkenlerinin de sürdürülebilir kalkınma üzerinde pozitif ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir etkisi vardır. Çalışmanın bulguları, E-7 ülkelerinde sürdürülebilir kalkınmanın desteklenmesinde demokrasinin çok önemli bir faktör olduğunu göstermektedir.

Abstract

Without democracy and the alternative channels it brings, it is challenging to guarantee sustainable development. The lack of a democratic dimension of sustainable development research enables citizens and institutions to realize their development visions. In this context, the study aims to investigate the effects of democracy on sustainable development empirically. The relationship between democracy and sustainable development was investigated with the help of the annual data for the period 1990-2019 and the Han and Phillips (2010) method for the E-7 countries. According to the findings, democracy has a statistically significant and positive effect on sustainable development. On the other hand, the variables of GDP, innovation, and renewable energy consumption discussed in the study also have a positive and statistically significant effect on sustainable development. The study's findings show that democracy is a significant factor in promoting sustainable development in E-7 countries.
