DEMOKRACJA I ROZWÓJ NARODOWY CZWARTEJ REPUBLIKI NIGERII: STUDIUM EMPIRYCZNE

Demokracja jako teoria, która ustanawia pewne podstawowe zasady, zgodnie z którymi należy prowadzić dobry rząd, niezależnie od jego formy, oferuje dobrą perspektywę osiągnięcia rozwoju narodowego szczególnie heterogenicznych społeczeństw. Wspólną cechą rządów demokratycznych jest nacisk na poprawę dobrobytu społeczno-gospodarczego ludzi, co jest równoznaczne z ideą rozwoju narodowego. Demokracja jest priorytetem na całym świecie, ponieważ zakłada się, że działa ona jak magiczna różdżka do skutecznego radzenia sobie z konfliktami. Nigeria nie ma jednak wielu dobrych doświadczeń z demokracją. Podczas gdy przemoc etnoreligijna jest powszechna w polityce, gospodarka pozostaje nękana skrajną biedą. Powszechne oczekiwania, że demokracja rozwiąże wszystkie te wyzwania, w dużej mierze nie zostały osiągnięte. Dlatego też niniejsze badanie dotyczyło wpływu demokracji na rozwój narodowy w Czwartej Republice Nigerii. Przyjęto metodę opisową, a dane przekrojowe zebrano w dwudziestu pięciu Jednostkach Samorządu Terytorialnego w stanie Delta za pomocą ustrukturyzowanego kwestionariusza, którym przebadano 400 respondentów. Zastosowano nieprobabilistyczne techniki próbkowania. Dane analizowano za pomocą analizy korelacji i regresji Pearsona. Wyniki badania ujawniły pozytywny i znaczący związek między demokracją a rozwojem narodowym w czwartej republice Nigerii. Dlatego zaleca się między innymi, aby przywódcy polityczni przestrzegali podstawowych zasad demokracji i konstytucjonalizmu, aby promować praworządność i wspierać rozwój narodowy
