Abstract

The rivalry between Democracies and Autocracies often has international ramifications. Both challenge each other in terms of global governance and policies. The most visible effect of this is the Security of the nations or the world. When discussing security, we look at the national, international, and human security aspects. One can also consider both traditional and non-traditional threats of security. It is often very difficult to understand which form of government provides better security. Is it the democratic nations like the USA which ensure peace and stability in the world or the autocratic nations like China which are better at handling internal security? Both these forms of government try to propagate its version of security to its citizens as well as the global audience to spread their influence in the minds of the global citizens. It's a very complex debate that needs much broader and wider discussion. This article will briefly elucidate on the above aspects and try to understand which form of government offers better Security.
