Health status, nutrition and democratization: a comparative study
Health status, nutrition and democratization: a comparative study

Summary/Abstract: Many factors have been adduced to explain why some states become democracies and others not. Accepted variables predicting democracy include education level, economic development, urbanization, communication networks and so on. This paper will explore two biological variables’ role—nutrition level and health status. Comparative data are used to explore the effects of these variables on level of democracy. Implications are discussed.
