Wangchuk C*

The erosion of democratic institutions in developing countries has become a major concern for scholars of political science. The current global political climate has been marked by a growing trend towards authoritarianism, populism, and anti-democratic practices. This research article aims to examine the factors contributing to the erosion of democratic institutions in developing countries and to suggest potential solutions to this crisis. The research methodology employed in this study involves a systematic review of relevant literature and case studies from various developing countries. The analysis focuses on identifying the root causes of democratic erosion, such as corruption, weak institutions, and lack of political will. The study also examines the impact of external factors, such as international organizations, on the erosion of democratic institutions in developing countries. The findings of this study suggest that the erosion of democratic institutions is a complex phenomenon that is influenced by a range of factors. Corruption, weak institutions, and lack of political will are among the most significant factors contributing to this crisis. The study also highlights the negative impact of external factors, such as international organizations, on democratic institutions in developing countries. Based on the analysis of the data, this research article proposes several solutions to address the crisis of democratic erosion. These solutions include strengthening institutions, combating corruption, promoting civic education, and fostering democratic values and norms. The study also suggests that international organizations can play a critical role in supporting democratic institutions in developing countries by providing technical assistance and promoting democratic governance. In conclusion, this research article provides a comprehensive analysis of the erosion of democratic institutions in developing countries. The study identifies the root causes of this crisis and proposes potential solutions to address it. The findings of this study have important implications for policymakers, civil society organizations, and scholars of political science who are concerned about the future of democracy in the developing world.
