of state, but in globalization age due to reduction
influence of states, thepolitical culture of people has
changed independently. Globalization has created
akind of common political culture among people in
the world, and has causedsimilarity in political
culture. So, common values like peace, justice,
equality, freedom, democracy, competition and free
election as common humanity values, arepublishing
by globalization. Nowadays, the insight and
knowledge of people about political system
andpolitical behavior of governors have been
changed, and they only and without any fear are
evaluating the function of system officers.
4.1.3 Globalization and Democracy
The phenomenon of globalization as a new
paradigm, in influence of economic evolutions, has
excellent changed human societies from half century
past. In late decades, the scientific and academic
societies, especially political science, and some
other matters like political systems, states, and
democracy, has conceptual redefined by
globalization. Some main questions about the
democracy and globalization are: which form of
democracy did influence by globalization? Did
ideology of democracy, or political culture of
democracy influenced by globalization? Or
democracy is as a governance pattern?
Based on different goals and definitions of
democracy, there are many various models of
democracy. According to mass direct or indirect
participation, it disports to direct and indirect or
participative democracy. And according to isonomy
and equality of economy, there are liberal and social
democracy and social democracy disport to
industrial and corporate democracy (Loin, 2000).
And according to different geographical scopes, and
many religions and races groups, the indirect
democracy disports to current democracy and
multiracial and associative democracy (Bashirieh
2000). Democracy has main characteristics that
some of them are: Free elections, it means everyone
and groups can have chance to reach power. This is
a main index to evaluation democracy in political
systems, Rationality of political actors. In fact, this
index is basic of democratic system, and is
democratic structures formation. However, the
measure rationality of actors is different in various
countries, Separation and monitoring of powers,
Liberally decision making power of representations.
The representations should be making decision
making liberally and without internal and external
threat and impacts, Freedom of parties, political
groups, social forces, in political actions. Josef
Schumpeter belief that, this index is essential for
democratic decision making, civil liberties and its
safeguard. It includes freedom of expression,
press,conscience, information, association, action,
and etc. This index, obtains the context of political
participation, codification of constitution and respect
it. In fact, the constitution appearance general will
and guaranties democracy, and political and social
equal opportunity for all citizens.
There are many different outlooks about
effective of globalization on structures of political
system and democratization process. Because of
globalization and democracy are complex, fluid and
universal concepts. Some thoughtful argued,
globalization explodes and reinforces the measure of
democracy in national and supranational level. And
others said it’s a serious challenge for
democratization process. Some thinkers believe, it's
negative and positive effectives are different
invarious countries, and it dependence to conditions.
The effective of globalization on democracy is
not limited to special scope. Some thoughtful beliefs
that globalization affects on all foundations of
democracysuch as: freedom of expression, freedom
of belief and religion, civil community,citizenship
rights, confine of state activity, legitimacy of
governors, freedom of press, and etc. In principle
there are some ways and methods of effective of
globalization on democracy that follows:
1. The evolution on concept of democracy:
democracy, in influenced of globalization, has
more changed in relative to its traditional
concept. Democracy in its new concept is not
just participation process, election,
representation, reign of low, and political and
urban freedom. But it should be define as:
measure of formation civil institutions in
societies and its combine on global culture.
2. The spread of civil society: civil society is
essential and structural request fordemocracy
realization. Behind the three columns of
democracy, namely: responder state, freedom
elections, urban and political rights, the civil
society are fourth and important column of
democracy. So, democracy doesn't realize, unless
independent institutions of civil society be
institutionalized in societies. Falk (2000)
believes globalization not only created civil
society in national level andinside of nation-
states, but also caused creation civil society in
supranational level, namely; global civil society.
Global civil society includes all organizations,
