Why are some countries democratic? Proponents of modernization theory argue that economic development creates conditions conducive to democracy. Dependency/world‐system theorists maintain that economic dependence restricts democracy. Proponents of human ecology theory contend that rapid population growth undercuts democracy. No study has assessed all three theories simultaneously when alternative explanations are controlled. Results of a series of cross‐national tests at several points in time suggest consistent and strong support for modernization and human ecology theory, but only limited support for dependency/world system theory. Implications of the research are discussed
